i dated this girl very breifly but we ended it because she felt more dominant in the realtionship, but now were best friends

that was about 6 monthes ago we hang out all the time but even in our friendship it seems like she is more dominant. so i am in the friends zone but even if i cant get out of it i still want to be the more dominant one in our friendship, any sugestions? or articles to be directed to?
oh and becoming such close friends with a girl realy boosts your confidance with other girls too
