Are you best friends with a guy who would like to be your boyfriend? Are you hoping that he'll learn to see you as more than a friend? Should you tell him how you feel or just wait it out and see what happens? The advantage of turning a guy friend into a boyfriend is that you already know a lot about him, but there is risk involved as well. You may find that a failed attempt to convert a guy into your boyfriend ruins the existing friendship.

The best way to go about this is to be honest about what you are feeling. Tell him that you don't want to scare him off or mess things up but that you can't continue to deny the romantic feelings you have for him. Ask him if there is a chance for the two of you to make it as a couple. If he says no, thank him for his honest and permanently drop the subject. He may act a little weird at first but things will quickly return to normal as long as you act normal.

If the first approach for converting your guy friend into your boyfriend is too bold, you can try something a little more subtle. Just don't expect him to get it right away. You are going to have to withdraw from the friendship a little in order for him to notice that something is up. This could actually lead to more misunderstanding so the first approach is still recommended. But if you decide to go this route, stop calling him as much as you normally would and start spending time with other guys. If he's gets jealous, it may be a sign that he does have a romantic interest in you. You'll just have to tread water for little bit and see what happens.

The final approach for converting your best guy friend into a boyfriend is to start flirting with him. At first he might just think you are messing around, but if you keep it up, he'll get the hint. You also want to pay more careful attention to your appearance. This will be another subtle clue to let him know that something has definitely changed between the two of you. After you change things up a bit, watch what happens. If he doesn't catch on, then it's likely that he's not interested in pursuing a romantic relationship right now.
