(this may not apply to this forum)I have a best friend for more then 4 years now and I want our friendship to be more then best friends but I dont really know how to "ease" us into a relationship. She didnt want one at the time i asked her last year but she gave me a maybe as an answer. For the past few months we have gotten closer and we've had more physical contact like taking naps together, poking and hugs. I just want peoples advice or opinions for this.

you do not mention if this friend has any involvement with other guys but if that does not seem to be the case i would suggest you talk with her about taking a trip somewhere together..... maybe just a weekend away visiting another city or something.....listen closely to how she responds to your suggestion and take your cue from there......good luck....
Thanks for this!

Thank you for your response, right now she does not have any involvement with another guy. I have taken you up on your suggestion and we might be going on an over night hike out in a national forest next weekend. I've found out that we would be going the day after her birthday so ill have to surprise her with something. Thanks again for your suggestion and not just shooting down my hopes and dreams like everyone else I try to talk to about stuff.
Thanks for this!

Surviving the summer will be hard with a 7 hour gap between me and her. I hope she will call me every once and a while.

I talked to Maddie on her birthday today, here's what I said to her; "You are a really wonderful person to me, yes I do have feelings for who you are. You've helped me turn my life around in a really positive way. Every time we hang out I almost always leave feeling like I'm ready to take on the world and everything it has for me, I feel confident, optimistic, happy, energetic and many other good feelings. I really do not know how I can thank you enough for everything you have done for me. You've supported me so much I'm just so grateful to be one of your best friends. I like having deep and honest conversations with you. Your the only person I can truly open up and be completely honest with without an issue. I'm blessed to have you as a friend, I really am. God put you in my life for a major reason. I feel like I need to give back to you in some way but I wouldn't even begin to know how. Please, share your thoughts. Thank you so much for everything Madeline. You mean a lot to me and really have a high respect for you and our awesome friendship." She really appreciates everything I said and it made her smile so, she's got something inside deep down for me.

That was an amazing sentiment, to share on her birthday. Hope the two of you, enjoy the time together, on your hike, getaway. A year, is a long time, to mull it over. Hope she values you as much as you do her, and things come together, for the two of you

Thank you, although, we are not going on that hike now sadly. She decided she wants to study for finals. So instead I am hoping to see her over the weekend again and study with her.
