Great friends can become lovers.The other person needs to feel the same way.It's not possible to make that person want you in a more intimate way.If you have an idea that your guy friend is the one for you in love, you need to be careful.
Step 1: Before you do anything else, work through your feelings.
It is important to know that your changed feelings towards your friend are not just something you see in a movie or see other friends together as couples.When you surpass the standard friendship reality and envision the two of you together for years to come, this must be a real hit-in-the-gut experience.Do you want to know if this is real?Are I just wanting something that won't work out?If I propose a more intimate relationship and he rejects me, do I have the strength to deal with it?Should this happen, do I think things can be patched up?Is he showing me any interest?Is he in a relationship with someone?
Step 2: He's free from commitment.
He proclaims that he's making a mistake by not choosing you instead, even though he has an existing relationship with someone else.It's possible that your friendship won't recover if he sees this as an act to undermine an existing relationship.
Step 3: Don't date if he is with someone right now.
You should nurture your friendship.If he breaks off with this person and you still feel this way, you'll be there for him.It was meant to be friendship if he didn't break it off.It is not helpful to break up your friend's love life.
Step 4: Do you know if he is over the ex yet?
You don't want him as a beau if he still has a fire for his ex.How do you know?Ask him!As part of your usual conversations, do it casually.Discuss his feelings for his ex, whether they're good or bad.If they still keep in touch, let him know if he's seen his ex recently.Back off if he's not over his ex yet.If he is, you should consider him available.
Step 5: Affirm to him that you're over this person.
Let your guy friend know that you are over the person who broke your heart.The drama and disappointment that comes with being hung up on an ex is a major deterrent for anyone looking for a close relationship.If you want this guy friend to know that you are available, make your relationship health status very clear.
Step 6: Tell your guy friend that you're interested.
Let your guy friend know how you feel about him, and how much you think he would make a great boyfriend.It is obvious that he would make a great boyfriend.
Step 7: Ask him to go on a date.
Don't call it a date.One night, invite him to the movies as friends.You will find yourself dating if he asks you out the following weekend and you ask him again the next day.
Step 8: You can text and e-mail him.
Send him funny messages.It's a great way to build a relationship.Guys want to be themselves with you.You are letting him know that you're fun and cool at the same time.
