How do you take it to the next level?

You're friends, it's great, but you want more... what do you do?

A reader asked us how you take a friendship with a boy to the next level .

We’ve all been there. Your paths cross with a certain person daily, and things are… friendly. It’s nice. You look forward to seeing them, and they seem to enjoy your company. At least for the walk from the station, or into school, or whatever.

But how do you move things on from oh-so-casual friendliness into more romantic territory without sounding like a complete lunatic?

We asked around. We asked some really amazing and beautiful friends of ours, girls with massively successful careers and ridiculous wardrobes who have never seemed to struggle to find boyfriends. We asked them, how do you take things onto the next level? And waited for the wisdom to pour forth.

They didn’t know.

They said they’d love to know and that we should write an article about it. Great. Thanks for that.

So, it seems like no-one knows.

Unless you know?

There must be a way of taking things onto the next level without causing massive amounts of embarrassment, right? If you do have any suggestions that can solve our reader dilemma, please leave a comment or email hello@whateverafter.co.uk
