Friends and lovers!

When two people are in a relationship, they need to share a certain level of compatibility that extends beyond the bedroom.
Besides getting along as lovers, they need to be friends, in order to share each other’s joy and sorrow and be on the same wavelength, mentally and emotionally. Friends, who are close to each other, tend to have that kind of emotional and mental connection, which is why the friendship is shared in the first place.Imagine if you could find that kind of compatibility in a lover as well!
The good news is that this is possible, if you already have a friend from the opposite sex who you are very close to. All you have to do now is turn the friend into a lover, which is very easy. Read on for easy steps on how to turn a friend into a lover:
Remind them of what they like
If you have a friend from the opposite sex, and they have hinted that they like certain physical or emotional characteristics that you possess, learn to highlight those features. If they like your eyes or your smile, the next time you meet him or her, smile a little more often or do your make up so that your eyes are accentuated. If they like emotional habits of yours, like the way you understand their problems and come up with instant solutions, remind them of how well you gel with each other.
Just don’t go over board and try to do this with subtlety. Remember, that when you were friends, how you looked or felt did not really matter because he or she would love you none the less. But alas, when it comes to love, you need to present yourself in a way that will make him or her notice.
Change the talk
In order to make the transition from friend to lover, you need to make changes in the way you relate to him or her. When people are friends they tend to talk about everything under the sun, from common interests or each others’ love interests, they spill the beans and how! If you want this person to relate to you on a more intimate level, you need to start talking to him or her on a more intimate level as well.
You could try verbal flirting and making innuendos that you are interested in more than just a friendship. If you want him or her to change their perception of you, it is necessary that you start talking to him or her as a potential love interest and not like you would speak to one of your boyfriends or girlfriends.

Create the ambience
Instead of going with him or her to a usual hangout like a movie or a coffee shop, you could change the venue to a more private and romantic setting. Surprise him or her by suggesting you go out for a candlelit dinner or just make something at home and invite them over. For your relationship to grow, you need to maximise alone time with him or her.
Change your attitude
If this person is already your friend, he or she will know how you behave around someone you have more than platonic feelings for. The next time you meet him or her, start behaving with them the way you would around someone you like.
Body language
This is one of the most powerful tools to hint to people how you feel. The body language that two friends share and two lovers share is very different. All you have to do is change the way you touch your friend and if he or she has half a brain, they’ll get the hint.
For example, you can have a pillow fight with a friend and a lover. But the next time you have a pillow fight with a friend, do something to change his or her status from friend to lover; besides the good thing about a pillow fight, is that you’re already in bed, so you won’t have to work too hard for something to happen. Finding love is hard enough as it is. So if you know someone who you understand well and love, it is up to you to change that friend into a lover.
It really happens!
Amit Malwade and fianceé Komal Shah were acquainted in college back in 1997, she was two years his junior. They met again nine years later, got along instantly , which led to their engagement two months later and they are to be married within the next six months.
“The fact that we knew each other in college helped our relationship because we did not have to get to know each other all over again. Besides I found out much later that she had a crush on me even when we were in college, which I thought was extremely endearing. And even though we were not in touch for nine years, the fact that we met again for me is a sign that we are destined to be together,” says Malwade. Shah agrees with her man saying, “Things like trust and the initial awkwardness of relationships were not something we had to deal with. So I would agree that the fact that were friends in college helped a great deal in bringing us together.”
