I asked out a friend of mine who I’ve been trying to ask out for a while now to grab coffee next week. They said yes but I don’t think they got the more than platonic intentions I had, they seem kind of oblivious to it (or are just hiding it well). I can’t flirt if my life depended on it, how can I convey my romantic intent without just… saying it outright?
idk if I’m giving enough context or detail here but feel free to ask if you need


I think being as direct as you feel comfortable being is the best approach. I literally said “i would like to be in a monogamous relationship with you, does that sound good to you?” To the person who is now my wife so maybe I’m not the best for the job
Or maybe you’re perfect, have you considered that?
I have, yes.
