Tricky, I know. But how do I do it?

I've known the girl in question for some 2 years and we've been best friends, thick as thieves, for more than a year.

Since we have all that trust, confort, etc. how do I escalate things?

What are your other female options like? Do you have girls as hot as this girl into you and can get into a relationship with those girls?

You're 2 years rooted into the frame of being just the friend so how long do you think its going to take to uproot yourself out of that frame? This isn't one of those things thats just as microwave instant as this microwave age is.

Now sure you could just "go for it" and tell her you find her attractive and want to be more than friends, or sure you can "go for it" and progressively begin escalating. But those odds of you being able to properly execute those things after being just the friend for two years are slim. Anyone telling you to just "just go for it" is saying so because they're speaking from their own reality and understanding of the situation. It would work for them (or at least the odds are higher), because they already possess the frame to just go for it.

But if you actually want to get her you have to somewhat begin to sexualize her in your mind. She doesn't have to become a porn star like object to you, but you at least have to begin developing attraction for her to the point in which you look at her feel an urge to sleep with her.

Truth be told, women are usually going to sleep with or be with the type of guy that most likely to sleep with them and leave. You're on the complete other side, so you want to find yourself somewhere in the middle of wanting to cuddle with her and give her sweet little kisses and wanting to bang her and go home when you're done.

Thoughts become words, words become actions, actions become habits, habits become character, and character becomes destiny. You have to begin to think of her in ways that will lead to the destiny you would like.

Its going to take time... At least 6 months of sexualizing her in your mind, since its been two years that you've been in the friend zone.

Begin telling yourself things like " (her name) is so hot." " I want to have sex with "her name" right now" - Those are my two examples but come up with your own and get creative. You have to think it first, you're not a "pua" or an attractive male(and i don't mean physically) since you got friend zoned so you cannot take normal "attractive man" advice.

I've already begun sexualizing her and working on eye contact. Anything else I should be doing? How do I escalate kino in this situation?
