Ways to becoming their best friend.

Attempt to become their best friend. Not just any other friend, become someone that they couldn't live without, who listens to all their problems and always helps out when times get hard. Also tell them about yourself, your dreams, sorrows and wishes. You need to establish a connection like no other, something that neither of you could live without. Spend time with them, get to know them better and get the sense of trust. A shoulder to lean on and some good friend that they can always turn to is all that a person wants. Make the person feel special, because they are someone's friend - your friend, and let them know that they too have touched your life in a unique way like no one else could. Compliment them for their company and for being there when you needed them, times when you felt sad and all alone. Show appreciations for the comfort the person offers you and for making you smile. In your day to day talks, share your dreams, your world, and every aspect of your life with your friend. Always dream with her, build with her, and always cheer her on and encourage her.

Hint. Before you two get too close and pass the "I love you as a friend" line or become too much of a brotherly figure you need to give her hints that you might like her more then as a friend. Simple harmless flirts, comments, something that would make her tell you that you're sweet, but also make her think a moment longer about the comment and wonder if there is another deeper meaning to it all. But don't overdo it, because then you're just making it too obvious.

Keep trying. When you notice #2 starting to come from her side, you know you're getting somewhere, if you haven't noticed it from her yet, try a bit harder. Be more obvious because some girls are used to being flirted with a lot.

Back off. When you're sure that you are getting somewhere, back off a little. If you see her everyday avoid her for two days or so, no contact! She will end up missing you and really understanding how deeply she feels for you. But make sure you have a valid reason for being away when she asks

Worry sparingly about what she feels because girls like to talk so she will end up telling a friend about her feelings and that friend will end up telling another person and so on, so the news will reach your ears sooner or later. It's bound to happen no matter what, the more popular you or she is the faster you will know about it. If don't hear anything but you are sure she likes you then you can still continue to keep following these steps.

Tell her. Take her aside, it's best to be in private to make it seem more personal and to avoid humiliation for her or you in case something goes wrong. Tell her your feelings, absolutely everything you feel, don't leave anything forgotten or held back, the more the better.

 See if she feels the same way towards you, Then pause and wait for her response, if it is positive then congrats, if not, well then you need a cover fast! If you are a guy that normally jokes around, do the Ashton Kutcher line: "You have just gotten punk'd!" and laugh, but if you're one of those more serious guys then it's going to be a bit harder. You need to convince her to just forget about this whole thing and pretend it never happened and that you can just be friends if she doesn't have the same feelings as you.
