Feelings are developed for a friend.Feelings of intimacy you would feel in a romantic relationship are often similar to emotional intimacy in friendship.Many successful romantic relationships began as friends.It takes a bit of courage to ask your guy friend out.It's a good idea to establish that you're interested in flirting and becoming more physical.Ask him out in a straightforward manner when you are ready.If you start dating, make a smooth transition from friends to something more.
Step 1: Accept uncertainty.
Uncertainty is a big problem when it comes to transitioning from friends to more than friends.Many people let the uncertainty of a potential relationship hold them back.When trying to push a relationship from friendship to something more, there will be a lot of uncertainty.You can't predict another person's behavior.Don't get hung up on how the guy may react.Don't expect anything when you go into the situation.It's okay to have a plan of what you're going to say.It is possible to have a small speech planned out to help you stay calm.You don't want to play out scenarios in your mind about how the conversation will unfold.
Step 2: Take it easy.
If you're not sure if you want to ask someone out, you may make a mistake.Don't try to answer the question fast.Make sure you say exactly what you want to say.If you're feeling nervous, take a few deep breaths.Don't talk fast.If you're feeling nervous, it's a good idea to say one word at a time.
Step 3: It's a good idea to be straightforward about what you want.
Asking someone out isn't doing anyone a favor by being subtle.Asking to get coffee or see a movie may not be enough to let the guy know you're on a date.Make sure what you're asking is clear.Say what you want to say.Ask the guy on the date if it's a date at all.Let the guy know that you have feelings for him."I feel like we have a lot in common and there's some mutual attraction here."Would you like to see a movie?
Step 4: Prepare for a rejection.
There is always a risk of rejection when you ask someone out.You can't know for sure if the feeling is mutual.There is a chance that the guy will say, "No."It's a good idea to prepare for the fact that things may not go as planned.If you're rejected, try to stay positive.The two of you are friends.If things don't work out romantically, try to remember that you still have a good friendship.
Step 5: You should be confident around the guy.
If you want to be more than friends, you have to have confidence in the guy.Simple confidence is a must if you want him to come back to you.When first meeting people, many people are inclined to be goofy or self-depreciating.When you're trying to attract a new romantic interest, this tactic may not work as well as it should.If you want to convey confidence, don't poke fun at yourself.You can make people laugh.It is possible to be funny, but not make jokes about yourself.Stand up straight, smile, and participate in conversation without hesitance, if you want to be comfortable with yourself.
Step 6: He is interested in you.
It is possible to get a sense of whether the feeling is mutual.You may be more comfortable asking the guy out if you sense mutual attraction.Look for signs of interest.Look at his body language.A guy will use excuses to touch you if he wants to be more than friends.He may give a hug when he sees you for the first time.He can brush his fingers on your arm.You can catch him looking at you.He may ask you questions to see if you're interested.He can ask about your weekend plans.He may offer to escort you as a friend if you have dates for certain events.
Step 7: It's time to start being more physical.
Start getting more physical with the guy if you want to show you're interested.Touch his arm while he's talking.You usually sit on the couch.When you first see him at a social event, give him a hug.A small amount of physical contact can show you are interested in more than friendship.
Step 8: Don't be afraid to flirt with him.
It is important to show a guy you are interested.This can lead to asking him out.Don't make the relationship too awkward by flirting at first.It's possible to convey romantic interest with brief eye contact.Don't look at the guy for a while.When you are around him, you should smile and act happy.Try to mimic his body language.Don't be too obvious about this, but try to imitate his hand gestures and positioning.If he's crossing his legs, cross your legs as well.
Step 9: Stay busy and engaged with other social obligations.
If you're interested in someone who is also a friend, you may want to clear your schedule to make room for a date.Refrain from doing that.If the other person is occupied with his or her life, you risk creating an one-sided dynamic.While the guy carries on with his life, you will be left waiting for a text or call.Keep up with your social obligations until you have a plan for a date.Clear you're weekend because you plan to ask the guy out.Being busy can convey confidence, which is attractive to many.It makes you look better in the eyes of the guy if you have your own life and obligations.
Step 10: Show that you care.
If you and your guy friend end up being more than friends, you'll have to work to establish more intimate relationships.You need to show you care in order to make it clear you are more than friends.Don't let your guy friend know anything.Tell him how much you care in a note.Buy him a small gift.You should be more affectionate.When you're together, try to hold hands.
Step 11: Tell your guy friend that you want the relationship.
The transition between friends and more friends can be confusing.Taking measures to make sure your guy friend knows you want the relationship as much as he does is a good idea.It is possible that it is easier to communicate when you are friends.You can have honest discussions with your partner about what you want out of the relationship and what expectations you have for it.You may have to assure your partner that you want the relationship to continue.For the first few months you're happy to be more than friends, let your partner know once a week.
Step 12: Socialize as a group.
Changing how you socialize is one way to solidify the transition.Stay together at the parties.As a couple, interact with mutual friends instead of one-on-one.Stay in the same conversations at parties.If you start doing things as "we" instead of "you" and "me", you will feel more like a couple.
Step 13: You have to be patient.
It can take a long time for a friendship to blossom.Don't have high expectations for your relationship.It will take awhile to feel like a real person, and there may be awkward interactions along the way.Allow the transition to happen slowly if you want to be more than friends.The relationship will be worth it in the long run if you really care about this person.
