How can things be less awkward after seeing a friend for the first time after 'bit more friendly' night?

Answer 1

Last Saturday was our school's Homecoming. I'm a guy, and I decided to hang out with my female friends. One of them I am good friends with all of them, but I am exceptional ( but I've never considered "more than friends" because I've seen good friendships crash and burn because of the glamorous "relationship") friends with one and we clearly enjoy each others company. When they announced that they were going to play the last of the slow songs, I looked her in eyes and asked her to dance with me, she seemed good with the idea. We danced, but at first it was a little awkward, but that was understandable and quickly it was quite romantic. I had so much fun, and I have a feeling she did too. It wasn't until her immature friends approached me afterwards and asked if I liked her. I replied with an "only as a close friend." I thought about her the good part of Sunday, and while I'm excited to see her tomorrow, the last thing I want to happen is for someone to change between us. Is there anything I can do to to make sure we just stay as good of friends as we were, no better, no worse?
