I want to turn him from a good friend to my lover!

One of the most common ways to get into a long-lasting relationship based upon trust and understanding is to start off as friends and move into a more serious relationship. However, a lot of women seem to have trouble doing so, as they are afraid it will not work. Fear no more, below are the most effective tactics that can turn your guy friend into your boyfriend.

Change the Scenery

Skip the normal hangouts such as friends' houses, sports bars, etc. and take him out to a romantic location to hang out. Dress the part, and be sure to be yourself instead of one of the guys, and he will know that you are serious about dating.

Send In The Signs!

Hanging out with the same person for a while makes you get accustomed to his or her way of doing things, and especially their body language. If you work to shake things up, be a touch more physical, a bit more flirtatious, then he will surely notice and start to fall for you.

Become More Than Just A Casual Friend

It is important that you are more than just a fair weather friend in his eyes; he needs to know that he can come to you with his triumphs as well as his troubles. You should be the person in whom he confides the most, and whenever something awesome or awful happens, he should immediately call you first.

Do Not Be Afraid to Flaunt What You've Got

Take yourself out of the "friend zone" and make him follow you. Dress to impress, use flirtatious body language, and dazzle him with your looks. He will start to see you as a gorgeous woman instead of just another one of his friends.

Show Him That You Are the One for Him
Now that you have been friends with him for a while, you should know exactly what he likes and be willing to show him that you are the one he has been looking for.

Change up Your Look

If you surprise him by getting a sexy new hairstyle, a makeover, or work out to sharpen your figure, he is bound to notice the beauty that has been there all along. It can be hard to see something different in something you see every day, however when you change it up slightly, he will surely be able to tell.

Speak the Truth

Perhaps most importantly, do not be afraid to tell him how you are truly feeling. He may be slightly confused by your recent actions, and be afraid to ask you in the event that he could be wrong and ruin your friendship.
