The Process of Friendship Becoming Love

Is it wise to make a longtime friendship a loving relationship? How do two close friends become two lovers? Can a guy friend become a boyfriend? How do you avoid the risk of losing him for good? Sometimes we have an amazing friend in our life then realize one day we might want more. How do we go about it? Tread softly.

It's been known to happen but the process of friendship becoming love is tricky because you never want to lose him as a friend if romance doesn't work. The approach is the same as love but more cautious and may require more time. For two friends to fall in love, it is almost best to be unexpected. Right now he likes you as a friend as always but you now like him more, so you need a safe approach to the process of becoming love by being a better friend.

Focus more time talking with him without other friends around and treat him like you really care about him. If he likes to go a sports bar for Monday Night Football or play pool, tell him you'd like to go one time because you have nothing to do that night and want to hang out.

Give his interests a try. If he likes golf tell him you might be interested in learning to try once so you two can go to the course or driving range together and he can teach you. Ask him to a movie just the two of you to a movie you know he wants to see. Take his hobbies and use those as bonding time alone together, one on one and having fun so he can begin to see the idea of being a couple.

Since you two are good friends, it is natural to support one another and be there as a shoulder when times are rough but now it's time to step up. He has dreams as well all do so talk and encourage him to go after his goals. Small gestures can be bigger than you realize and actively helping him do something he loves touches emotions. For instance, if he wants to be an artist, as a small gift buy some paint brushes or a couple canvases, if he wants to open a small business in town, find a perfect space available for lease and show him the listings or take him to drive by it.

You do a lot together as friends already but do it alone more often and go out to eat just the two of you. Tell him when he looks good, when you're proud of him, and when you're having fun together. Do it all in moderation, fan out the "dates", and steadily encourage his dreams. The process of friendship becoming love has to be done carefully and over some time.
