Thanks all for your comments. Right or wrong I am going to have a talk with her and ask her out. I was in Rodeo for 17 years and I cant remember being as nervous as I am now.
If it is meant to be we will find out.

Everyone have a Merry Christmas !!

Kidding aside,Being nervous is a good thing,Means you care,Like jack mentioned jus tell her how you feel you should be ok....Oh yeah,Bring ur rope and spurs just in case YEE HAW!!!:D

My female friend and I became friends after I went through my second divorce. (We knew each other before but never really talked much) She had also been in a failed relationship.
I have my own business and run a ranch. I got her to come out and do some contract work for me. From there our friendship just got stronger. We both have horses and ride together any time we get a chance. There are alot of things that we have in common. If anyone would of ever told me I would have a female as a close friend I wouldn't have believed it. Yes I am attracted to her. Yes I do want to be with her. My thing is I am bad at relationships. I work alot of hours and I enjoy it. That is what ruined my marriage. I wasn't around to give the love and support that they needed. I am just scared that I will blow it. I have never carried so much about someone else. I am a risk taker. This is a risk I am just not sure i want to take. I wouldn't do anything intentionally to hurt her but i will admit I don't want to loose her as a friend.

I have went out with a few women the past couple of years but when I am with them and I am thinking of her. I know she has went out with a couple of other guys and I think it is the same for her.

If you feel that strongly about her...Go For It! If it doesn't work, it is easier to get new friends than to find a soul-mate.

I just thought I would give you all a update. My friend and I sat down and had a long talk. She was as nervous as I was about messing up our friendship and she was afraid that I was not interested in her that way. We decided to go ahead and have a serious relationship. We spent Christmas and New Years together. We are going to go out again this evening. At this point I am glad that I finally talked to her and we decided to take it to the next level. Lord willing it all works out. No matter what happens we are both feeling great and decided that if a serious relationship wont work our friendship probably would not have lasted either. I think in a way that this has been a relief for the both of us.

Thanks to all for the sound advice.

After two marraiges that didn't work i think i would forget about marraige and just live like Goldie Hawn and Curt Russel do. No need to get married for a third time. Or you could just marry a buddy and if things dont work out at least you still have someone to watch the game with. Kosar gave me that advice.

tell your friend the same thing you just posted. let things fall where they fall. don't let her get away or fall in love with someone else or you will think about her for the rest of your life.

date her more seriously and see what happens. hold off on the 'sex' part for awhile and tell HER why you want to hold that part off, "because you don't want to lose her as a friend".

if you break up the serious relationship, that i think you really want, it's over, done, caput, and that's most likely how you will want it too.

merry christmas!

He is isn't he Raymond--

Hope all goes well peddler but before marriage would make sure you are compatible and don't go through 3rd DV.

--Since you like the Rodeo I might suggest that the night before you pop the question--mount her and and when you both are nearing your peak--call her by your last wifes name--if you can stay on for full 10 seconds--marry her :)

MadJack thanks for the good advice and well wishes. :toast:
You will be waiting awhile on that invite though. It took me this long to take our relationship to this level. It will probably take at least that long to go to the marriage level :scared. Just going to take our time and not rush.
