Turn your friend into a boyfriend

You look at him with different eyes, you want to have him around more and more, you feel jealous of the women who approach him, you dream of having him by your side at all times (especially in the romantic ones) and you feel cold when he gives you give that tight hug? These are clear signs that, yes, you’ve fallen in love with your friend. But is it possible to turn such a relationship into something serious? Yea! Follow our action plan and get ready. Well, you’re going to hook that cat.

Start knowing that you already have several points in your favor. That’s because when two people are friends, they already have a lot in common. That’s what the specialist in relationships at the marriage agency Par Ideal, Sheila Rigler, says. From there, it’s up to you. Look to see if the two of you feel admiration and attraction for each other.

Found what you were looking for? Then it’s time to invest. “From friendship, the game of conquest even becomes easier”, explains the specialist. So it’s best to play fair. A great option is to call him in for a serious conversation about your feelings. “From there, go to the common stages of a conquest, which involve seduction, charm, love, desire and respect”, completes Sheila. But don’t forget that the two must be involved, right? No creating false expectations. After all, at that time, it is necessary to be aware that the other may not respond to them and end up moving away.

love spoke louder

If after the conversation you understood each other and decided to give love a big chance, don’t forget that the type of relationship between you has changed. “It is important not to make comparisons with the time of friendship. A lot changes when you start a romance, especially the demands,” she comments.

Another important tip is to avoid too much intimacy with mutual friends so as not to generate embarrassment or jealousy. Also don’t let the relationship kill the friendship. “It is necessary to continue with the confidences and maintain the humor in the relationship”, explains Sheila. Remember that, first and foremost, you are great friends and partners.

And there’s nothing better than that, right? Since the friendship has been around for some time, they both know each other well and know what each other’s habits and preferences are. Take advantage of this knowledge to surprise you. I bet that preparing his favorite dish or choosing the movie he likes the most will be easy for you.

Another perk of dating a “friend” is being in the same circle of friends as him. Since there won’t be that annoying situation where one doesn’t want to go out with the other’s friends. In other words, enjoy. Keep doing what you always liked in the company of the other, like going to the movies or a park, telling confidences, only now, of course, everything with a different taste.

Did not work

It is always worth remembering that the attempt to turn a friendship into love may not work. “In this case, the probability that the two will get back together as before is small. It is easier for a friendship to turn into a relationship than for ex-boyfriends to become friends”, explains the expert. Therefore, the decision to open the game about what you feel must be well thought out.
