Okay. Most importantly, you have to let him know that YOU aren't interested in being just friends with benefits. You can do simple little things. Maybe kiss more instead of just doing sexual things. And when you do kiss, make it last longer. Try looking into his eyes. Grab his hand and hold it for a bit. Little things like that can send a very big message. Hope this helped!! Good luck.

Show interest. Tell him youd like to be more.

If he dodges, its because hes not really interested in you outside of benefits, and its time to end it.

If he seems interested, see where it goes.

Theres really no better idea than the direct approach.

Though, usually if a guy is actually interested in dating, or specifically dating you, he would be, rather than being friends with benefits. Its far more common for a guy to be a friend-without-benefits and like you and want to be more, than for a friend with benefits to like you want want the same.

Hello :]

Obviously, if you're friend with benefits with this guy, he has to see as SOMETHING more than a friend. I would start paying more attention to him, and showing him that I care, so maybe he would start to come around. You have to give boys time :]

Hi.

To be honest with you I doubt it would ever happen. Speaking from personal experience at least if I liked someone THAT much I wouldn't just be friends with them with benefits. I was happy with that cause it meant I didn't have all the annoyances that come with relationships (like not being able to flirt and such when I'm out). Given the choice of having more I wouldn't have wanted more. I could handle friends with benefits but a relationship meant commiting to that person and maintaining a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship which I just couldn't do either because I didn't feel that way about them or I just wasn't interested in settling down in that way.

Saying that, all guys are different so your best bet is to just ask him! He's your friend after all (as well as the benefits you share) so it's not like a bad thig to just ask. If you want more ask him how he feels about that and where you stand or if being friends with benefits is all it will ever be. If you feel you're getting emotionally involved (becoming attached in a way that you want more whereas all he wants is sex or whatever it is you both do without strings) then my advice will be to put a stop to it now so you save yourself a lot of heartache later. There's being friends with benefits and there's hopeing that by doing that you'll get them to like you more or feel something more for you. If it's the latter it shgouldn't take that for a guy to like you as more and if it's what you have to resort to then the guy is clearly not worthy of you anyway. :]

You can't force someone to like you, just remember that much. Ask him how he feels about you and see where it goes. The worst that can happen is he will say he only likes you as a friend and that's it.

I personally think the friends with benefits thing is pretty pointless because you guys both must not actually love eachother and its only for teh sex. But I cant change your mind about it so to get him to like you - dont be as easy
as you might be right now. Tease him a bit and just hang out with him like with other people. Be yourself, make jokes, and just flirt a lot.

Miiiiiiiiiiisss (=
