You must remember, even if you try getting out of the friend zone, he still might not see you as girlfriend material - sure, he might think you're funny and cute, but I think alot of people are funny and cute - doesn't mean I fancy them and see them as boyfriend material.
There's 2 ways you can go about this.
The "I don't care" approach, where you act like you don't care if he doesn't like you back, start talking about other guys and hanging with them, as if in a way to make him a little jealous. If he has any feelings for you, it will make him try to win you over. When he realizes other people might want you, he will see this as competition and may want you.
Then, you can try acting a little more like a girlfriend around him. I don't mean randomly go up and kiss him, just try to get into his personal space a little bit more. "Accidentally" brush his arm or find any excuse to make contact. Hug him and see if he hugs you back with a bit of meaning, try and hold his hand, see what happens. Just don't over do it. If you can see he's feeling uncomfortable with it, just stop.
Talk to him more and try to make it interesting, ask him to hang out and do something fun together.
You just have to remember, it's not going to happen over night and it's going to take quite a bit of work. but don't waste all your time on him. If he really shows no interest, accept the fact he just wants to be friends. After all, you can't force anyone to like you more than a friend.
Good luck though. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

I would say you would have to get closer to him, start flirting, hanging out more. i would even try acting like a girlfriend around him this may make him want to date you or even consider it. I would also consider hanging out with him alone, and trying to possess the certain things he pick out in all his girlfriends like a common denominator. you could do that by hanging out with some of the girls he has dated or by asking him what he like in each girl. This may help. [ Kittzen's advice column | Ask Kittzen A Question ]
