The best romantic partner is also your best friend: someone you can talk to about anything, someone you can trust entirely, and someone whose company you will enjoy for every second of your relationship. Most people already have such a person in their lives - their best friend! But if you want to take that a level further, especially if your best friend is already in love with you, it may be worth taking the chance!The problem is, sometimes people have a mental barrier set for seeing their best friend as only a friend and nothing more.
Steps :
1. Don't be afraid to ruin the friendship. You're already best friends and you know how to work out your problems and stop fighting. If you really are close and a further relationship doesn't work out, you can go back to being just friends. Yes, it may be painful and it may take some time - consider this as a test of true friendship.
2. Talk to your best friend both about your current relationship and about the possibilities, and you may find out that you're both interested in each other.
3. Make a list of all of your best friend's qualities that you really like and respect. Now, make a list of all the things you want from a romantic relationship. Finally, grab a highlighter and highlight the qualities that match: it may surprise you!
4. Use your imagination: think what it would be like to be closer to your best friend, and it may give you a hint to how much you would enjoy it.
5. Set a romantic mood and do something together as friends, such as going to the beach, doing a dance, or having a candlelight dinner alone. You may find that new feelings surface when the atmosphere is right.
6. Share your dreams together. Often, talking together about the future makes you realize that you want to spend the future together.
7. Take your time. Falling in love is not a quick process, and you should make sure that you are fully ready to take your relationship with your best friend further before you do so.
...it's true
