how close are you guys? sit her down were you two are most comfortable and just speak your mind, or if you arent one to speak your mind find a way to show her and get her to think that way for you, kinda like minipulation but for a good cause. if she feels the same way you can kinda tell alot of times, be confident and just tell her, womenX i have been feeling this way for a long time, Or my style---there was a secret i have been hiding from you for a long time, and it kinda scares me *build up the suspense*...i have never mett anyone like you, or something.....bla bla bla u get the picture, Dont be afraid of rejection, it either works out or it doesnt bro.

Personally, I believe that I would try the honest approach. It is my personal experience that women respond to a man who is open, honest and DIRECT. Don't beat around the bush about it, because your time with her is apparently limited. If that is the case, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.\n\nWho knows, maybe she feels the same way about you but is having problems telling you as well. Look her DIRECTLY in the eye and tell her that your time together has been wonderful and you have connected with her in a way you never thought imaginable with another woman. Tell her that your friendship together means the world to you and it has grown into a deep respect and you hope she feels the same towards you.\n\nI understand what you are going through. I have been there and bought that tee shirt. Good Luck and I hope it works out.

You just told us your feelings, now tell her.\n\nShe may brake your heart but atleast you won't be able to regret never asking! No you've got, yes you can get!

I guess it is not your nature to openly talk about this thing with someone you like or love, am I right? It will be extremely difficult for you to do that and possibly you will make a fool of yourself, and you don't want that either.\n\nWhat you can do now, is to befriends with her. Learn about her by observing her needs, study her and learn about her wonderful personality and characters. Beaware of her weakness and try to provide support. Do all the kind deeds like a warm greeting to brighten her day. Since talking is not your advantage, doing good things for may be a sound stratagies for you.\n\nBe yourself; your best self, as you apporach to her. Because 'YOU' are the best thing to offer when comes to establishing different kind of relationship. If you want to be a friend of hers, then be the best friend of hers; if you want to be close to her, then be as gentle and sensitive as you can be.\n\nThere are nothing here that I specificlly advice, really. What you do or how you do is entirely your choice.\n\nGood Luck

Look: there are two ways: talk to her, see what she feels.\nConsequence: A good friendship might be destroyed\nOr you will lose a friend and gain a soulmate(surely you're in advantage)\nBut it is not healthy for you two to just be best friends, if you say you love her. Trust me I've been there. And maybe she loves you to but she may lack the courage to say it.\nMy opinion: go ahead-stop torturing yourself with this good friendship-it's a fake(nothing good will come of it) tell her, gently and carefull what you feel. It worked for me !\nReally, you have nothing to lose. It is better anyway that she knows what you feel about her ! May God help you in your whish !

WARNING:\nNEVER tell them how you feel with words!  This will work, if pushing someone away & ruining any potential intimate relationship is what you are looking for.\n\n\nWhat you are really asking here is not how do you tell someone - it is how do I make them feel attraction for me & how do I tell when they do so I can take this relationship to another level.\nAllow me to explain ...\n\nOf all the ones given above this is the closest answer to the right way to go about things without spoiling anything you currently have between the both of you:\n"weather she says yes, or no, kiss her on the lips, then say lets go" - though it is whether that they meant to type not weather as in climate :)\n\nWhy was that good?\n1. Because you are being commanding & decisive & leading.\nThese are behaviours that display attractive qualities in a quietly confident & even in a brashly confident guy.\n\nThey are not too attractive if you are a bully though alot of women will sadly still be compelled even if you were to take it too far down the bully route - though I am certain that is not an issue here because that type of guy does not ask to do anything or for advice he just does, so that is for another question.\n\nIt's difficult to give you the precise thing to do & when - alot of it sadly has to do with reading soemone's mood or knowing how to proceed in a way that does not make things blatant so that you can abort any advances before you create an embarrasing situation which she will feel the need to get away from.\nA friend came up with a good trick for working out when this is likely to be the result by running what you are doing as if it were about to happen to you.\n\nSo if you are in a close 'moment' & you are thinking of doing something, pay complete attention to being in the same mood as your friend, be them with all of your being as far as you can... now imagine you doing whatever it was to 'you' (you are in the role of your friend remember so you should see you coming up to kiss you as they would etc.)\nHow did it feel *to them*?  Was it awkward?  Was it a pleasant surprise etc.?\nIf it was not completely positive then you should think twice before proceeding.  Think of something else.\nTougher to do when you lack practice at thinking like this & you are pumped up with lust & love chemicals coursing through your mind making you groggy I know.\n\nIf you are thinking of 'going in' & can't do the empathy test above then a sure fire way of gauging the waters is to casually but deliberately grab the ends of some of her hair & run your fingers through it as if you were running your hand through something very soft.\nIf she does not respond in a way that clearly says, 'what are you doing?' with her eyes or body then do it again, look her in the eyes if you can & say, 'your hair is so soft, I really like the way it feels'.  Keep looking her in the eyes you are trying to gauge a reaction & looking her deep in the eyes causes attraction in both of you, I *know* this; it can be a very powerful reaction when it does try & not to lose control if it does hit you (the chemical rush I mean, not if she hits you, she should have no need to hit you ever!)\n\nIf she has reacted positively & not sunk her head, shoulders away from you etc. then she will 99.9% be receptive to further touch & a kiss.  If she goes, 'yeah thanks I use good shampoo' then you can matter of factly agree & come back to more 'dry' conversation.\n\nIt can be tough to turn a friend into a lover.\nI personally never tried though I had a lot of friends who were girls.  Many very pretty.  Many who I got on with very very well.\nHowever the thing to realise is that they are all girls friends or not & that we are all people & we all have the same anxieties & concerns. Though men & women definitely see things differently when it comes to courtship & do defintitely have different roles.\nI could sometimes see t

the best thing to do is be upfront with her about your feelings. she may just see you as a friend. and she may like you. but you'll never know if you don't ask her. tell her that you like her and ask her if she feels the same way? but i hope that you will not stop being her friend if she doesn't like you back. it's a horrible feeling as a girl to lose a great guy friend just because the romantic feelings are only one way.

I say wait to tell her unless you know that she feels the same way about you. Don't ruin the friendship by telling her your feelings and her not feel the same way about you. \n\nWould you want someone telling your g/f that they liked her?\nThink about it that way.

Well, maybe you should tell her how you feel about her! She may only think you want to be friends, so I would tell her soon. Ask her how she may feel about the idea of the two of you dating.  She may be happy that you have spoken up!  When you start dating a good friend sometimes it changes the friendship. You can only hope that the feelings for one another become more intense and more loving. If you happen to drift apart, then the original friendship may be forever changed.  I thought I would toss that in for your to consider. I mean if things do not work out well for you, you can only hope that you can still be friendly, and not resent any new fellows that may come along in her future if the two of you fail at your attempt at a relationship...do you see what I mean?\n\nGood luck, I hope she feels the same for you too, you sound so nice!

Telling her is a good start. Hearing it is 1/2 the battle. Constant little reminders r always good. Flowers, candy, a phone call in the middle of the day just 2 say "hey, i was thinking of u and wanted u 2 know i love u.", or at the end of the day ask just 2 ask,"how was ur day?" and really want 2 know. Maybe u could try doing something with her u can't stand, but u know she loves. Perhaps she knows u love her, she is just scared of real love? Make it comfortable 4 her, try not to push her, just be the best friend, the best lover, the best listener, the best u ca b 2 her. How could she possibly Dennie  true love from someone so full of it 4 her.\nGood luck!

Tell her how much you love her and how you feel her

Tricky...everyone's different.\nIf you're already good friends then she's used to you touching..to an extent.  increase the hugging and gazing into her eyes and maybe link arms more when you're walking somewhere.  try a spontaneous hand-hold and see how it goes.  don't be icky about it, though, there's a fine line. she'll get the hint after a while and if she'd interested back you'll notice b/c she'll give hints too. then tell her how you feel...or just grab her and kiss her like you've never kissed anyone before.\nif she just doesn't get it...you're jsut going to have to go bold and tell her...\n\ngood luck!

well ask her on a date... if she says yes (unless she has some totally reasonable excuse; family dinners don't count) then that is a sure fire way to tell she is into you. Then just tell her you are interested in dating her. Nothing scares a person away more than telling them how passionate you feel about them to early. Take it slow until you feel you can truely trust her. Trust meaning she won't take you for a wild "hot and cold" ride. You want her will tell you frankly how she feels. Good luck mate... and don't worry if it doesn't work out... soo many freakin' fish in the sea!

So she IS aware of this love or she isn't??  Have you tried just asking her on a date?  I mean, proposing would be rushing it a bit considering you haven't even tried romance yet.  If she's aware you love her and she's your best friend, the only reason she might say no is to keep from risking your friendship.  if the realtionship doesn;t work out, she looses a friend.  if you just stay friends, what does she loose?  just ask her if she might be interested in turning your friendship into something more.  if she says no,  just let her know that if she changes her mind, you're still game, but otherwise you want to remain the great friends you've always been.
