How to Turn a Friend Into A Girlfriend/Boyfriend

It's not easy, especially if the boundaries have already been set ("I like you only as a friend") But hey, people change! If you've been friends for a while and are developing feelings, maybe they are too!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• Courage to ask
• Honesty
• Bravery
• Able to accept NO as an answer
• Sense of Humor
• lightheartedness??

1. So you've been friends with a hot guy/girl for a while and have always had sort of a secret crush on them. You've always wanted them to be your BF/GF but haven't had the balls to tell them because you really do appreciate their friendship. Well you're fed up with it already and need them to know! Step 1 is coming to terms with your inner feelings and admitting to yourself that you cannot be 'just friends' anymore.
2. Become even better friends with the person. Maybe you're already best friends, maybe just buddies...whatever it is, become a better friend. Show the other person that you are their best friend! Make them feel like they couldn't possibly live without you! Be there for them when things go wrong, give them advice, pay for their soda, you know, little things that say "hey, I care about you" You'd be surprised how the little things lik that really make someone feel good.
3. Put yourself in their situation. If you had a friend that was completely platonic and all of a sudden they told you they wanted to go out with you, how'd you feel? Awkward, embarassed? Think of how it will go over befor eyou do anything. Be 100% sure this is what yo uwnt to do. If you are good enough friends, you should be able to still be friends if you are denied. If not, well then it just wasn't meant to be, don't take it personal. But before you say ANYTHING, think about how the will react, will they be mad at you, have they told you before tey don't like you like that? Some people get mad when they are asked out by frinds because they feel betrayed, used or lied to all along. Be careful, think about if its worth ruining the friendship again and again
4. Make a date! It wont be called a date but make plans to hang out alone! Go get a bite to eat, see a movie, whatever ele 'friends' do. After the movie or towards the end of the meal (don't wanna be denied before you order, that'd be awkward haha) ask them about past gfs/bfs. How I made my friend my GF was I asked her about her ex bfs and while we were talking about it I asked her if she thought I would make a good boyfriend to someone. She said yea, you're a cool guy. From that point on I just flirted my ass off. Tell them you think they are awesome, pretty/handsome, that they should be with someone they are friends with first. If you have the guts flat out say "I like you"... read the situation and go with your instincts
5. Be patient. Don't expect a fairytale kiss and walk off into the sunset together. Real relationships don't happen overnight. Give the other person as much time and space as they need. I was friends with my girlfriend for a long time before we finally decided (she finally caved) to be an official couple! But when it happened it was the best day of my life. Being friends first really is the best way to do it because it sets a solid foundation of trust and compatibility. GOOD LUCK!

Tips & Warnings

• Flirt with them!
• Tell them you think they are hot!
• Be an actual good friend, not just a fake friend who's actually just trying to hook up with them
• Be patient, don't rush anything, it might ruin everything!
• If it was meant to be it will happen, if not, it wont. its out of your control so no need to get upset about anything
• Do not get super bummed out if they tell you they really want to be just friends, its better than nothing
• do not get jealous if they date someone else, jealousy is a turn off
• a relationship pretty much ends any possibility of being friends afterwards for a while. Be aware that if you do end up tpgether, your friendship will never be the same and might even be over if you have a bad breakup
