Why do relationships work? Many long-term romances are built on a solid base of respect, admiration, communication and friendship. Because long-term friendships have a similar base, you may wake up one day and want to be more than friends.

Don’t think that just because someone is your friend that it’s abnormal to have romantic feelings for them. After all, there’s a reason you have this person in your life. Don’t dismiss your romantic ideas because they just might blossom. First, you need to be sure that your friend is open to taking things to a new level.

Look for Signals

After you’ve realized that you might be more than friends, the next step is to figure out if this feeling is reciprocated. If you are observant, you may pick up on some unintentional signals that may indicate your friend feels the same way and may be open to dating.

Think about how your friend talks about potential romantic partners: Does he or she refuse to talk about it with you, or are they vague? Conversely, do they talk about people they might date more than they did at the beginning of your friendship? Some people will either avoid the subject or overcompensate if they realize they have romantic feelings for a friend and they aren’t sure how to proceed.

Be on the lookout for how often your friend asks you about your love life. If they ask you lots of questions and seem overly curious, this may be a sign that your friend might think of you as more than friend. Also, if your friend asks you what you’re attracted to or wants to know about each and every relationship you’ve had, this could also be a major sign they like you.
