bestfriends to significant others..
I'm 17 Female, and my bestfriend in the entire world is also 17 but Male.
I've known him since kindergarten (14years) and we've been best friends the whole time, now I kinda want to be more then friends but I don't know if he'll take it seriously when I tell him.
Telling him's not the issue I can do that bit..

If you feel that you are ready to risk the relationship that you already have by introducing the element of romance, you must do it convincingly. The best way to tell him is when the two of you are alone together. Try to be in a place that is meaningful to the two of you. He may be more inclined to feel the same way if you have a fun day of hanging out then settle in to watch a movie in the evening. Just make sure the few hours before have been fun.
Once you two are alone and feeling good about being together one-on-one, tell him WHY you enjoy it. The best way to be convincing is to not only tell him you`d wish to become more than friends, but tell him why. Think of these reasons before you tell him, if possible. These reasons may include something about how close you two are from knowing eachother for 14 years and how it allows you to trust him, if applicable.
If you give him specific reasons why you want to be more than friends, you have the best chance of having him take it seriously. If he is unsure, don't pressure him or feel upset. You two obviously have a great relationship as friends and there is nothing wrong with that! Good luck :)

So what is your question, exactly?
How to make him take you seriously?
Do it face to face so he can see you aren't kidding around.
Or try writing down what you feel in a letter and giving it to him.
I've been in this position before, I didn't take it seriously because my friend is always, always joking. but after he kept telling me and tried to show me, I believed it.
