I want to start of by saying that I am in no way nervous about speaking to girls. But there's an instance which I need very precise advice.

I was with this girl for about 6 months (we broke up last month)

And while I was with this girl I got to know her friends, mainly one. We started speaking alot and got really close as friends while I was still with this girl. Now that we've broke up, I've been spending alot of time with this 'friend' and realised that its worth it.

Just wondering if there's any specific tactics on how to tackle getting it from 'close friends' to 'next level'

Any specific openers I could use?

I've adopted a form of anchoring where I actually made her unconsciously point out something of hers that she finds her self in contact with alot and anchoring an emotion of happiness towards me with it (i know anchoring, but is there even a way of doing it like this)

All I want is a few pointers to push me in the right direction.

Thanks for you time.

I thought this was supposed to be a place of help?

I've looked at alot of similar posts, and most of you guys tell people to leave it. But his one needs cracking, and I think it's possible.

All I need is a few small pointers. That is all

In order to move from friends to lovers you need to establish a sexual attraction between you two. You can do this by doing things like gazing in her eyes, touching her hair, etc. She needs to feel a sexual attraction to you or it will never be more than a friendship between you two.

Exactly!
I'd say. Show some balls and try to escalate. Start off with some kino, make her think about You in a sexual context. Touching is a good way to go but also talk with her implying she's very attractive.
But for god sakes NEVER, EVER talk about Your ex. She might try bring her subject up (especially that they are friends). When she'll ask or say that it's wrong between You two just say something like "Well I can't say a bad word about her but I guess we just didn't quite fit together", say it with a tiny smile like it doesn't hurt You anymore and You're just cool with that and just change the subject.

I start using line "I can't say a bad word about her. I guess we didn't quite fit together" whenever someone asks me about my ex and they're all surprised what a positive attitude I have.

Just something I thought You'd want to keep in mind .

so just try to build up that sexual attraction. Got it.

We dont talk about my ex really, just never pops up in conversation and she knows I've already gotten over it so that part should be easy
