Put on something sexy when you meet him, it works everytime. Because intellectual conversation is good but miniskirts and large decolletés are better.

Tell him how you feel. And don't be vague. You've been like this for ten years and clearly something is not working. Have a go! Good luck!

To quote Castle: What you have isn't a friendship - it's a holding pattern. Tell him, and at least you'll have a shot at being happy. Don't tell him, and you're sure to get hurt when you watch him find someone else who DOES speak up and make her intentions clear. Even if it doesn't work out, consider it a good thing; after a decade of holding out hope for something that (hypothetically) didn't work anyway, you'll be able to move on, look around, and find one of the other people around you who will cherish you the way you need. The way you are now, I'm betting a lot of opportunities with great, compatible guys have passed you by without you even realizing. So speak up! And good luck :)

Well here's a crazy idea, tell him. Don't flirt, or any other vague, passive-aggressive nonsense like that. Just tell him in plain, unambiguous English. If you're unwilling to do that, you've absolutely no business complaining about him not noticing you.

A decade!? You have had feelings for him and haven't done anything? I get you may not want to hurt your friendship but the longer you go without either expressing how you feel or forget about it, its gonna get weird. I'm sure he's picked up on it by now.

Tell him how you feel, for God's sake! You can't complain if you've not bothered saying anything. You're not in a movie!

Woman up and tell him how you feel!

This is ridiculous. If you want to go out with him, ******* ask.

You want to know why he said that? Because you're best friends. He doesn't see you as someone to date. He sees you as a best friend.

If you were looking for the right time to tell him how you felt about him, that was it.
