Signs That You are More Than FriendsBy Amanda Willis
Online dating is certainly a tough concept to get one's head around. And even though the statistics speak loudly to the method's overwhelming effectiveness, there are many factors involved with the process that still manage to confuse some. One such aspect is the age-old question: "Are we more than friends?" In real life, it's a little easier to gauge this. You can pick up on certain things that you just can't find online. But there are some surefire ways to tell if you and your "friend" have stepped over the boundaries and are heading to the next level. Let's deal first with how you feel about it. Do you have feelings that go beyond friendship for this person? If so, you probably hope that he or she feels the same way. After all, that's a big matzah ball hanging out there if not, to quote Seinfeld. There are some ways to spot this. For example, is this person contacting you more often? Is he or she actually expecting you to be in a certain place at a certain time? If so, then this person is trying to keep you close. This could mean one of two things: One, it's a stalker (I joke!), or two, this person is feeling a little more than friendly toward you. Another way you can tell if you're more than friends is to pay attention to the subject matter of your discussions. When you were first getting acquainted, any type of conversation would do. Perhaps now you're speaking on a more personal level, sharing intimate details and other things that "friends" wouldn't necessarily do. You could also test the waters out with a feeler of sorts. Throw it out there while keeping it light. Joke about dating and see what the reaction is. If your "friend" is receptive and goes along, odds are he or she is feeling the vibe, too. And if they aren't, you'll be met with awkward silence, an immediate subject change or outright rejection. It's a big step to take if you're not sure. The best thing you can possibly do is to pay attention to the other person's reaction toward you. How is he or she acting? Are things the same or have they changed? There can be infinite signs, and there can be only one or two. It's a feeler game, and no two situations are the same. Just be ready to go with the flow.
