1. Spend more time together. Time allowed you to discover your true feelings for your friend, so it stands to reason that may be true with your friend as well.

Quality time is the foundation of any successful relationship, so the more of it you have together, the better your chances at romance.
2. Find out what they look for in a partner. Just because you have a friendship doesn't mean that you fit your friend's requirement for a romantic partner. Before you make a move, you should find out what type of girls or guys your friend likes.
3. Be open with your friend. Before your friend can see you as something more, you have to open up and allow them to see you in a different light. Show your friend vulnerability and emotions and allow them to come to the realization on their own.
4. Be available when your friend needs you. The best way to show a friend that you are someone they can rely on is to be there when they need you. Being reliable and trustworthy in a time of need will allow your friend to see how much you care.
5. Show your friend how great you'd be as a girlfriend or boyfriend. Make dinner for them after a long day of work, or soup when they are sick. Don't be too obvious, but make small gestures typical of a significant other to get your friend to see you as something more than a friend.
