How do I get my best friend (opposite sex) to like me as more of a friend?

She probably sees you as just a friend and this is doomed to failure...\n\nBut just start to really flirt with her.  Especially with the eyes and the touchy kind.  Hopefully she will pick up on it and at that point you will know her decision on hte matter.

You are a guy, and he is a guy, right?  Makin sure I understand the question.  True friends are the BOMB, but if you are a guy and not gay, then just tell him like it is - you like women, you love him as a friend, but ya just don't go that way ... if he's a true friend, he'll understand and won't hold it against you.  You've been brave and strong enough to be his friend - even though he's gay and you're not ... if I'm getting this right - you've gotta be true to yourself just as he is true to himself.  Just put it out on the table the way it is ... the truth is always the best policy.  You might tell him if you were gay, he would be the first one you'd come to, but you're not.  He'll appreciate your honesty I think, and you will be closer friends for it.  And if I'm wrong and you're a female with a gay best friend - they are good friends, and I've found, real, honest, down-to-earth people, so....same advice.

Do this based on your chemistry together. From what i've experienced and heard from others:\n\n"If a girl sees a guy as just just a friend from the start, it will stay that way, but if the girl has a thing for the guy from the start it will always be there."\n\nThis could work for you in reverse gender. If thre was something there at the start, and you both felt it, then you should tell him and get things startedd ;)\n\nGood luck to you and your friend

Hi there,\nIt sounds like your best friend is important to you...you know...there are alot of hot brunette's out there...if she was not a nice girl to your best friend then she will not be a nice girl to you...you like your best friend most likely because you share the same interests and points of view in life or at least like to debate them...you can use your best friend...even though that doesn't sound nice...as a stepping stone for you...if he doesn't like her then probably you wouldn't either...anyway...this advice is my best shot at your problem...hope it helps..good luck.

You need to sit your friend down and tell her how much you care about your friendship with her. Then after that tell her that you like him alot and you like to talk on the phone with him personaly. And if she cant understand that then you two need to start haging out with other friends. Tell her how you feel about it. Good Luck.

Be her friend first let her get to know you better as a friend instead of someone that just want to get a piece of her...............let her find out who you really are what you like, and don't like and hopefuly you'll have a better conection( or not) than you expected.........\n\nHope this helps

I have the same problem but my friend is quite forward and she is rubbing off on me. If you know the person may be interested in you then make the move. No one likes rejection but you just have to be confident in YOURSELF, thats the first thing to work on.

Why would you want to 'play a role'? If some girl likes you because of that, then she won't like you for who you really are. Just be yourself and let the rest happen. Although being on your best behavior wouldn't hurt!  :-) The only way to make long lasting friendships, whether they're the same gender or not is to be yourself.

You just want to be friend and he wants more.\nWhat are your feelings. Reall feelings.\nWhen you see someone you want you will know it.\nGood to have friends.\nBut you have to feel something more than friendship.\nKiss him on the cheek. \nYou just have to say You like him as a friend. And that you do not feel that way about him.\nIt will be hard. on both parts but it is your feelings that is on the line.

You obviously have an awesomely amazing friendship. Girls seem to be more in tune, with one another...in comparrison to guys being in tune with girls. I can see how this attraction came to be. I'm sure its been quit awkward. If the two of you don't want to loose your friendship, you should try and discuss the issue. Perhaps you could get her a card, or something light...that lets her know, that whatever happens, you will always be there for her. You could talk about your attraction to one another...and find out if it was just curiousity or if it involves more. Regardless, let her know, that you will always be her friend. No matter what. She is probably just as shocked as you. I've always believed that women could relate to women on a more "natural" level...you've both got in you you...you both owe it to yourselves to get to the bottom of this. I wish you the best. I'm sure it will be a Halloween to remember!

also, try asking yourself, if you were so shallow as to decide not to be their friend simply because of their sexuality, would they want to be friends with you anyway?

Sounds like you two are best friends, but seem to have issues when it comes to romance.  Matters of the heart are never easy, especially when it's with someone that knows you too well.\n\nSo, here's the deal.  Either you two learn how to get along when it comes to romance and live happily together, or you two move on.  Being best friends with someone of the opposite sex will not abide well in any other relationships you may have.  Plus, you have the whole issue of jealousy, which may have not reared it's ugly head yet, but it will once one of you starts dating and the other is still single.

The lesbian thing fits...cus you don't seem to have along term plan in mind with someone that could otherwise be a candidate for...I think you can save the friendship if you take the time and consideration to explain to him that its not him, its you and it wouldn't hurt to let him down easy by saying you knew if you could feel for a man the way a woman normally does, I thought you would be the man that could do that for me..but your feelings don't go there..so it would only be fair to both of us to remain friends. It might be a stretch but you owe the friendship that.

It's unlikely for good friends to develop into relationship.. i mean for men. if think or feel strongly that he really feel for you, then just ask. but i'm affraid that it's not gonna end well. my advice, change yourself. Be yourself but the other side of yourself. stop letting him feel that you're his buddy. let him know that you can be his goddess.

Tell her you don't mind being friends with her, but you have absolutely no intentions of being involved sexually with the opposite sex.  Let her know you don't swing that way and her actions are starting to make you feel uncomfortable.  I also like what you said about she's trying to turn you into something your not.  Say that to her too!  Good luck.

find out the things she likes, spend time w/ her. Be interested in the things she likes to do,(or at least pretend) Ask her if she would like to be more than friends, if she says yes, then go for it. If she says no, at least you still have your friendship.
