Friend Zone

Me and this other person have been friends for almost a year now. We got really close ridiculously fast. I was there through every bad break up and jerk they dated. But, we got to the friend zone. Now i want to date her and have since we met, but she is scared to ruin our friendship. What should i do to prove i wouldn't do this and im not giving up. I want to be with her


My answer:

I can start by telling you what not to do: Do not try tricks to get her to fall for you. Manipulating her into something will come back to bite you later on.

Keep your friendship going, but take it to a deeper level. By deeper level I mean for you to take the emotions to a deeper level. Talk about your feelings about things (anything) and then add in at the end of it that you are glad that she is the one sharing this with you. Make her part of the emotions, but don't focus on her but on the emotion you are sharing with her.

If she is ready and want to, she will start sharing on a deeper level with you and things will happen naturally. Love is not something that you can force or help along, just let it happen.

If it doesn't happen, be her best friend ...
