Converting Platonic Friends- Lame Update, decent hawt pic

Would love to hear any stories of you lucky fellas who have converted the platonic friend. I'm not her type, but there's some kind of spark there, which I am betting on in a couple days. Would not ruin the friendship IMO, as I will be pretty cool about it if I go down in flames. Just really dig her. Encouraging and discouraging stories most welcome.

**update of me being gay + nice pic last page, post 53

I wish I could say this one was mine, but it's a story about a buddy. He had the same deal you've got going, they'd been friends for a little while but hadn't seen each other for awhile and when they met up again he looked her dead in the eyes and said he wasn't interested in being her friend, he wanted to have sex with her. Didn't flinch either, total confidence, and the deal was sealed, couldn't believe it.
Not a bad approach though now that I think of it, ballsy as fuck with a chance to make things awkward, but he genuinely didn't care to be her friend anymore, i think anyway, and I guess that made her want him - or something.

One time I was in a bar and I tried a pick up line on a girl that has relevance here:
This girl jokingly tried to steal one of my shot glasses before my friend and I took the shots we had bought, and I said "I only buy shots for my friends" kind of more aggressively than I had intended too.
Shes like "meh, okay" and I go "so, you wanna be friends" and she goes "no" so I said "awesome, so that means you want to be more than friends?"

she laughed, I was proud I thought quickly; didn't seal the deal though. Sigh.

If she has "types" don't waste your time.

She will think you are awkward and not put out instantly.

I'm deleting my old post and writing a new one cause this dude isn't looking for advice and I have one more funny, nearly unbelievable story, once again not about me because my stories are far less interesting:

I am chillin at my friends place, he is in residence in his first year I'm in my second. I leave his room to go do something, I can't remember what, and I come back the door is locked and nobody is going to answer that motherfucker.

This girl he was friends with, not the prettiest thing in the whole world but not ugly at all, just randomly burst into his room and BAM HJ into BJ. Fucking bastard did nothing what so ever. She musta just had a moment or something, I dunno. she didn't even have sex with him, just like out of the blue BJ for no good reason. So theres another story from the head of the lake instead of my silly advice

Get her DRUNK is the number one most important factor.

Other than that, get her alone and cuddled up close to you. Easiest way is to watch a movie with her at home. Get close on the couch, and turn off the lights. Operate smoothly.

Well....you might be good with it if it goes down in ball of flames, but it might turn awkward, or it might be too awkward for her.

Anyhoo, you'll never know if you don't try.

I got with a platonic friend. I have never regretted it. Could'nt be friends with her afterward though. That's the risk I took.

I suggest you key into her signals. If she isn't giving you any, then don't do it. If she's hanging out with you one on one, that's a very good sign that she knows you're safe to be with.

My advice: Don't tell her, show her. Don't blurt out "hey, we should be together as more than just friends."
Kiss her.

the best advice is to disappear for awhile, and come back into her life. 3-6 months, its still iffy. 8-12 months, shes gonna see a different you.

Or you could just change yourself up, like...be a man

I do appreciate the time and thought that goes into people's advice, but I'm not really looking for tips.
