How to turn a friend into a lover
Understand the risks.
Before you sit down to have a conversation with your friend about your relationship and where it's going, understand the risks involved in asking to change your friendship into a romantic relationship. Your friend could feel the same, but they might not.
You need to prepare for your friend not to feel the way you do. When assessing the risks you should also decide how you will react to your friend's potential response.
