Great relationships are known to have started on great friendships - that's why they say that the best people to date are your friends.
Of course, there are some things to consider and remember in wanting to go to a transition like this.
Here are some great tips: Primarily, ask yourself if you're willing to risk the friendship.
The first thing you should do is to evaluate the situation.
It is possible that you are just feeling the romantic attraction at the moment but tomorrow, it might just go away.
If this is the type of feeling that doesn't make you sleep at night, then maybe it is worth the risk after all.
Make sure that you have taken at least a few days to think about it.
Is the physical attraction there? If you want your best friend to become your boyfriend, make sure that there is an existing physical attraction between the two of you.
Check if you do not shudder at the thought of kissing your best friend.
This may seem unimportant at first but you couldn't go to the next level if the physical attraction isn't there to begin with.
Flirt just like you would with another guy.
You can get things started by making him feel the flirting that's coming his way.
You may never have flirted with him before so he would surely notice even the slightest change.
Give him a lot of compliments so he'll know that you're finally noticing him.
Try a lot of flirtatious touching just so he could tell that you're finally interested in him - romantically.
Treat him differently.
Face it.
You were merely friends before so it's time to show him that the status of your relationship has advanced.
Be extra sweet to him and make more effort to be there for him.
Wait for the right moment before spilling the beans.
Assess the right moment when you can finally discuss romantic matters with him.
Remember, he's your friend so he's likely to be shocked OR he might just welcome the idea.
Choose a romantic setting so that you'll help set the mood for him.
You'll know when he's ready as he starts getting all touchy feely when the seaside breeze and waves help him feel more relaxed.
It is important to tell him everything, and to know what he thinks of it The moment you tell him - tell him everything.
Whether it will or will not shock him, ask him what he thinks of it.
You would be really lucky if he tells you he feels the same way, too.
If, however, he rejects your proposal, then don't allow that to change your friendship.
Never force the issue on him.
If things don't end up well, never force anything.
Do not avoid him because he doesn't say that he likes you back.
If he needs time to think, give him that.
Forcing him to feel the same way would definitely make things more complicated.
