Falling in Love With Your Best Friend? Can Friends Be Lovers?

What should you do if you find yourself falling in love with your best friend? Can a platonic friendship turn into a love relationship? Would you like some advice on how to make that guy your boyfriend? Following are some good bits of information to keep in mind if you suddenly find yourself in love with your best friend.
Slowly but noticeably change your relationship. You don't want to start throwing out romantic innuendoes right away, but you could become more involved with him and his activities. Let him see that you are attempting to spend more of your free time with him and that you really enjoy his company. He will get used to you being around for all of his good times also, and will realize that he misses you if you're not.
Make a conscious effort at this point to distance yourself from being one of the guys. Although that is how it's always been, you will need to change this if you are now falling in love with your best friend. You want him to look at you differently and this will be slightly awkward in the beginning, but worth it. Once again, you'll have to move gradually so as not to leave him shaking his head in disbelief as though he has no idea who you are anymore. He will begin to fall in line with your actions without even realizing it.
Now is the time to start flirting with him. This will also be a little awkward, but it will definitely be worth the effort. Practice subtlety as you do not want to scare him away with changes that may be too drastic. Add a little sensuality to your wardrobe and try to touch him for no reason at all. You can believe that he will notice and will be flattered as long as you don't go overboard.
Falling in love with your best friend can be a fabulous beginning. You already know each other's likes and dislikes, each other's temperament, and are reassured that you can always count on each other. The advantages are many, so follow this advice and you will get what you are hoping for.
