How To Become Best Friends With Your Crush

4. Take It Slow

Yes, the whole idea of being best friends with her is to eventually tell her that you like her and probably get into a relationship. But you’ll have to take it slow to get to the final result. Just because she reciprocated your gestures a couple of times by asking you for dinner or giving you a gift doesn’t mean that she has started liking you as a boyfriend. You can’t misread her friendly or casual actions as she developing a liking for you. Take it slow and don’t be in a hurry to pop the question. Once you are sure of her feelings towards you, you can express yours to her.

5. Be Confident

Don’t be nervous. Yes, it’s easier said than done. But you have to calm down a little and be confident of the whole situation. If you are confident while expressing your thoughts and opinions to your crush, it is an instant charmer and works very well to make them friends with you. Confidence, after all, has great scope to lead to attraction.

Once your friendship has become relatively stronger, you can start with casual healthy flirting to see how she responds. You need to trust your gut feeling a lot here to be able to know whether she too likes you or not. As long as you have managed to be in her good books all this while without intruding in her space and without hurting her, chances are that she too would start liking you, and things could go somewhere positive.
