Remaining just friends with someone you fantasize about day and night can be a torture and the more it gets delays, the more miserable you become. Before you start thinking it's going to be a hopeless case for the rest of your life, try relaxing for a bit and then ask yourself why you didn't try to do something about it anyway. What holds you back, why can't you aim for something more than just being her friend? Sometimes, where we are right now depends on the decisions we make - so if you feel devastated for being in love with your best friend, then there's really no one to blame but you. Try having a goal - start off on winning her over! Below are the top things to do to make her see you more than a friend - and be her lover instead!

• Go out with other girls. Don't worry - it's not really deliberate. Going out with other girls is just one way for you to give quality to yourself and make your friend value you more. It means that she's not the only girl on your life and that you're actually pretty popular and in demand to other women - she will definitely start seeing you at a different light.
• Boost your confidence. Being shy wont get you anywhere. Its time to build-up your confidence. Ask her out - just for the hell of it. But make it clear that it's a date - no more, no less. Confidence makes a woman admire a man and would want to be with you as much as they can. So start developing on this characteristic soon.
• Look good. Be at your best look all the time - this may mean nothing much to you but girls can also be pretty keen when it comes to physical appearance. You may never know when you'll bump into each other. It may be in the street, grocery or in the office. You don't want to turn her off, don't you? Its time to build up your image and being at your best look most of the time is one way to do it.
• Be more than just "nice". Being too nice is okay but most women see nice as something predictable and weak. Besides, being nice will only bury you deeper in the friend zone whether you like it or not. So start showing a bit of a personality and create the attitude to make you look more appealing to her eyes.
