Now, if you have any reason to believe that you're being kindly rejected, but are not too sure about it, you can try again, maybe you'll get a different answer. If by ineptitude you mean inability to express yourself, I don't know how you approach others, so I can't tell how far that goes...but remember, people love having friends, but know that relationships have ups and downs, so if you want to start a romantic relationship with someone you know, don't wait too long to ask them out, otherwise you will become a part in their daily or weekly life that they wouldn't want to miss. |

Depends on your age too, the older you are, the easier to move out of the friends zone (mostly via drunken hookups). However if you're told you're like a father that's a bad sign. That means you're overprotective and/or overbearing and women generally don't like that. You will have more luck if you can share interests/experiences more as equals, rather than trying to impress her.

I don't really see the attraction in going out with a girl you've known from childhood, regardless of relation. The whole westermarck thing holds true.
On the other hand, there's no hard reason not to, incest has no big effect at that level of relatedness (except when repeated several times over successive generations) so if you're both okay with it I see no reason not to... That would even apply if you were first or second cousins too. |

It really depends on how much you view her as family...I, for one, would never even think of dating my cousins, because despite all the good fun and happy nights out, I can't think of them as anything but friends and family.

99% of the time no.
Well, it's right out of the blue and you don't know her that well. If it's a girl you might be flirting with and the feeling is mutual or whatever...then a lot of girls may not have an issue with it. But really, you'd pretty much have to already be close to the point that you guys would be dating to pull off such a gesture. I guess it would be like "closing the case" after the "mission was accomplished". Quote:

In response to that, I did go out with one of my childhood friends after senior year for about a year and a half. Even though it's over, there aren't any hard feelings and we're still both extremely close. As long as you're close to them to begin with, it shouldn't be too much of a problem (results may vary).
