I have liked her for a long time now, So it has been playing on my mind for quite a bit, Just that her becomin single has come out of the blue.

We go out regulary as mates on thursday nights to a club, (She always leaves her Boyfriend at home) and when we leave each other on a night, its like we dont wonna, (If u get me) so i think there might be something there.

I do some extreme sports, but this is really scaring / Confusing me

haha..lmao

and never break up with one girl for another....well i did....backfired like a ***** :s .....now im all alone :disappoin

Well you have to remember that, even though the situations may sound similar, they are all going to be different. There is such a thing as destiny. If you were meant to be together, you will be. The worst thing you can do is hurry the situation. Especially when she's coming off another relationship.

Lets say you tell her you like her. Two things can happen. A)she feels the same and all is fine. b) she doesn't feel the same. If that happens, no matter how hard you try, things will be different. Once that boundary is broken, she may not confide in you as willingly as before. Gotta remember if she does like you, she probably won't be trying to date other guys. And if she does like you but decides to date another guy in the future, personnally that would turn me off. Who wants a girl who likes you, but dates other guys.

I would say just keep hanging out with her. Maybe lay out some hints of your feelings and see how she responds. I was watching something on the Discovery channel the other nite (or was it TLC)...but they were talking about telltale signs to look for to know if someone likes you. Different sitting postures, hand and should gestures, etc. Maybe do some reading on that type of deal so you know what she is thinking by her actions around you.

bull****!!! anyone who said no... well, dont listen to them! from experience and logic, i say just do her, go for it... you're not gonna be friends with her the rest of ur life.

i dont know about you, but i cant stand having girls as friends unless ur dating (and f**king) them, otherwise theyre pathetic and annoying to be around, its ok to hang out with the girl friends a couple times a week, but its the buddies that count more...

I'm a firm believer in the "When Harry Met Sally" adage: A man can't be just friends with a woman he fancies... saying that, me and my gf started out as friends - she was seeing someone else - anyways we grew closer, they split up, we fell in love. Awww lol

If things are meant to be they'll be. Just be wary of the rebound effect. Think of it this way: if it works out though, ya could end up with a gf who's also a great friend.

Hope things work out. Good luck.

Good luck mate, think I am going to see how things go on Friday night when I take her out.

Think I got a line that?s going to give me a good answer from and and let me know how i stand, but also not put her on the spot to much.

Cheers for the advice people, very much appreciated

Will let you know what happen's:)

... I'm in the same situation :( I know (from what people have said in this thread), that I should ask her, but it ain't as simple as that. I've known her for 7 years, plus rejection is bad enough as it is, never mind the rejection being from someone you'll still see everyday! I'm confused :(

Also, I like my best friends girlfriend, and I know she fancies me (he doesn't know). Only three people know. Her, Me, and my sister (one of her friends). What do I do here?! Do I go with my best friend, or my best friends' girlfriend?! Do I leave them both? DO I leave one, and not the other?!

CONFUSING! :s

I agree with cheekymonkey.

Friends that more than just respect/appreciate each other.. going onto the like/love stage can't be friends forever... eventually they'll make out..

Who knows, you might just become friends with benefits... but I'm guessing you actually want to date her.. well just go for it...

i hit on almost all o my female friends :D....theyre hot...what can i say...especially one of em who lets me rub her boobies :D.....my point is if u really like her dont actually hit on her just try to be a good friend to her and shell come to you ;)

fool proof....unless ur really horny, take my advice :)

TRUST ME!!!

yeah... Bros before hoes EVERYONE must remember that. I learned that the hardway. I ruined 6 months of my life... I regret it so much from what I did... I only got fux0ed in the end.

I'm kinda in the same situation but with a twist. I've really liked a girl for an age, and another girl (gonna put names now so it dont get confusing), my friend Christina has been helping me out with it. Well friday night me and Christina were talking but we were also really close. Since then my brain has decided to really like her too. But I still really like the first girl. Confused? I am. On top of all this, Christina's sister is one of my ex's and is one of the first girls friends. Agh! I think I kinda like Christina more though. Any advice?

Data: Captain, I believe I am feeling anxiety. It is an intriguing sensation. A most destracting...

Picard: Data, I'm sure its a fascinating experience, but perhaps you should deactivate your emotion chip for now.

Data: Good idea, sir. (Data jerks his neck, and you hear a little beep) Done.

Picard: Data, there are times that I envy you.

:D

Do I hit on one of my best Female mates?

She jsut finished with her Boyfriend and i like her. Do i try my luck with her and risk changing the relationship we have atm for the worse, OR just leave it?

Help Me ppl :ermm:

Tag it and bag it......

you've got to see how much you like her...longest relationships usually work out if you've been good/best friends with the person before...'coz when you reach that point, you can't go back from being best friends even if the relationship doesn't work out...

just depends on how good of a friend you are with this person...'coz depending upon the closeness, she does deserve to know the truth...you shouldn't be left with that 'what if...' feeling in your mind..

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series.

    • Text extractor hasn't been working great on 0.99.1 but I am now updating to this version, hopefully it's better!
    • Yet you did exactly what they wanted you to do - is it better now without "Europrats"? BTW, UK had joined EU (EEC back then) and was one of the leading member states, it never joined Schengen Zone though 😉
