My current girlfriend started out as a completely platonic friend. We used to work together a long time ago and then she found me on facebook and we used to talk all the time.
I think this kinda helped things move on to the next stage because we were both just bullshitting with each other and got to know each other on a different level than physical attraction or anything else that we think subconsciously about our female friends.
We eventually hung out a couple of times and had a lot of fun and then eventually our conversations started getting deeper and deeper and one night I told her, "You'd make a guy really happy." She said it was sweet and that was that and after a minute she asked if she'd make me happy and I told her yeah probably, still trying to play it cool because I was unsure what to think at that point. I chalked it up to us drinking and we continued to hang out when one night she asked me if I found her attractive. I thought this was one a loaded question because maybe she was trying to woo some other guy so I was honest and I told her I thought she was beautiful (she really is).
Long story short, we hung out a couple of more times, I moved closer to her and I fell hard for her and I just asked her out. I figured at this point there was no reason not to and if she said no, I'd be mature enough to get over it.
The thing about dating a friend is that it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere or that you have feelings for each other because the passion builds more slowly than if you ask a girl at the bar you know nothing about out; but ultimately, you connect on a much deeper level.
