How to ask someone to be your friend. If I would like to ask somebody to be my friend can I say :
Can we be friends?

---

Yes you can! It is perfectly correct to say "Can we be friends?" There are several ways to ask this question:

*Would you like to be friends?
*Want to be my friend?
*Could we be friends? (A bit more polite or shy)
*Do you want to be friends (with me)?
*Are we friends? (If you wan to confirm your friendship)

Those are just some of the ways that you can ask someone if they would like to be friends with you.

Does anyone else know of other ways to ask someone to be their friends? Leave a comment and let’s compare what you think! -Diana

Update: Although this is grammatically correct, we don't usually directly ask someone to be our friend. It just happens. :)
