Tell her once and only once. Be up front and direct with it. Just tell her that she's your best friend and that you've grown to see her as more than that. If she doesn't take the bait or maintains that she only sees you as a brother, you're going to have to be happy with just that. Be happy that she's in your life and keep your mind open to other relationships.
If you keep bugging her about it after you tell her how you feel, she's going to start feeling uncomfortable and awkward about the whole thing. It could really take a toll on your friendship, so give her space and don't try to keep changing her mind about it.

Trying to make a move will make things worse, trust me. And from the girl's point of view, it makes things kind of awkward. In my case, it was my friend that had a girlfriend, and he kept trying to hook up, so I told his girlfriend. She thought that he was cheating on her with me, and neither of them have talked to me since. [ advice_me's advice column | Ask advice_me A Question ]
