I doubt if this can work, no man can friendzone a lady he really love or want for good 20 years. Unless you are already dating, no man talk about anything in the present of a lady he intend to date or marry. The fact that you guys has slept in the same bed several time without him making a move stylishly shows you are probably not attractive to him. He may pity or dont want to hurt your feelings by saying yes but i dont see a genuine love or attraction between you guys.

am more perplexed than u are. Because if u claim u've been friend with some for more than twenty year and you don't still know how to win over him, then i wonder who will help u o.
Coz by now you now have know him (kind of person... Emotinal inclination, possible if he finds u attractive or not) more than anybody
belief no soul can put u through expect God and urself

Hi
I have this male friend I’ve known for almost 20 years. He courted me back in the days but I was not available so we remained friends so far. Life keeps pulling us apart and bringing us closer (geographically). He now lives on the other side of the world but we cal each other all the time. He’s my best friend, support and confident. He knows everything about me and I about him.
We talk a lot, laugh to the same things etc.

We stayed at each other’s place multiple times over the years, even sharing a bed now and there but he never tried anything

Now we are both 40 with a few failed relationships under our belt.
He keeps telling me how he wants to settle and start a family. We talk a lot about the fact that the best way to go is marry your best friend, someone you really know and so on.

I have this odd feeling that he’s trying to test the waters with me but he never says anything definitive

I’m really wondering if I should make the first move and tell him we should give it a try.
I’ve never done such thing in my life and I’m afraid he would say no. If he does, our friendship would probably take a hit.

What do you suggest ?
are u a baby d guy is telling u wat he want u are doing anyhw. u are matured and old in age I think is a chance. to married dont loose dis opportunity d guy is sweet to u I think his ur hubby.my cancellor always say d best person to married is ur best friend is beta u quick marry him so u born cos time is going

Hmmn.. this one is quite dicey

You want to settle with the poor guy now after exhausting all options with other guys that failed.

The fact that you're best friends now doesn't mean you'd still be best friends in marriage tho.. shoot your shot if you want, best of luck!
Last resort...some men don suffer...

He is not into you.
He knows ur flaws and good sides.
He has choosen it'ss best he remains friends cos he can not marry you.
If not he would have long made the move.
If u date him;u will not be happy cos it will be a one sided thing.
Some relationship are best left the way they are
u are a wicket person and I will unfollowed u did u see she 40 wen she want to marry born but as a parrot u say she shd not date him. If she remain single at old age is DAT wat u want or u got a guy for her

So @ 40 you are still play in games of teenagers.

Lol... At 40yrs why would he still be interested in marrying you when he can get a young girl in her 20s or 30s that is not approaching menopause like you. Or would you want him to be without children? I am certain he is no longer interested in you.
This is a big lesson for ladies. May hay while the sun shines.

I doubt if a 40 year old man would want to date or marry his mate. Guys like that mostly find girls in their twenties attractive not a female who is fully grown and spent her prime already.

As a lady, the best part of your years you can offer a man is when you had your youthfulness and beauty intact. You cannot finish all that on some unserious entity and be expecting that decent guy to settle for the remaining. If your friend has any common sense he should not bother getting involved with you on that level you are thinking.

Wait oooo, so at 40, you are still making guy over such an offer? The guy is just taking a risk by getting married to 40 yr old and you are here to say he wants to taste the water? Something you have been tasting for that long and you never settled and here you are with such great opportunity and you want to waste it.

Go about it in a playful manner. In the middle of a conversation when he says something that thrills you, just chip in a sentence like, O!Jay I love you more each passing day. You make me happy always by your perception about life. If you were around now I would have said, what have you given me to eat? I am just loving you too much these days. Then you quickly change the topic.

You will see that after some time he will call to confirm if what you said about loving him is true? That's when you will tell him Yes in a bold letter.

Best of luck, dear.

you are not asking a random guy out, u are asking a friend, your best friend of 20 years out, sm1 u know 2 well so I don't see that as a problem at all. at least he has asked u out in d past b4, it won't hurt 2 do same. moreover, u hv nothing to loose, ur not getting any younger, d best that can come out of such a relationship of that long is marriage. pop d question so u can check that plan out of your "marriage suitor" list and go to d next if need be. by now, u don't need any1 to tell u no time.
ask d question at least for curiosity sake and be free.
