Eliminate Contact For A Few Weeks
Remove yourself from her for a while. Sometimes 2-3 weeks is enough, sometimes a month or two. And I mean COMPLETELY. You should not see or talk to her. Your goal is to reset your associations with her and come back to her as if your "catching up" with each other and haven't seen each other for a while. When you come back to her it is important that you reverse the frame on her within the first few times you see her. Don't set a sexual frame at all, it will be unknown to her and she probably won't expect one of her "friends" to act like that. It will "shock/surprise" her. And you don't want that in this case. With a random sexual frame, she will react as being uncomfortable and it will be awkward.
Reverse The Frame
When I say reverse the frame, I mean to reverse it by carefully making it seem like she is the one who is wants you. This is one of the few situations where I would definitely disqualify her at an opportune time.
For example, since you are friends, it's likely she will say something positive about you at some point. Especially if you haven't seen her for a while. Such as "I missed you!" Just say things like "oh geez, don't be clingy, you know I'm too good for you anyways..". But say it in a VERY jokingly way. Give her a gay little shuv even just for good measure. Make sure your smiling and she knows your just teasing . This should be done less cocky and more funny.
Out Of The Friendzone, Into The "Flirty Zone"
When you say these kinds of things every now and then, it will adjust your friendship into a flirty sort of one. This is how you eventually will get your opportunity to move from flirty to sexual. But once your LJBF'd (Let's just be friends), you cannot achieve the perception of a potential suitor until you cross into the "flirty zone". Once you achieve a flirtacious friendship, then you can advance it to flirting + light kino . See below for kino tactics. Flirting with her should start from the minute that you see her after your little two or three week "break".
At first, it will be you flirting with her, keep it sarchastic and funny. Eventually, you should start to see her initiate flirtyness more often when you see her. The more often she gets flirty with you, the more closer you are to being able to move to the next step of getting out of LJBF.
Proper Kino Escalation In A LJBF Situation
Initial Kino should be punches in the arm, butt bumps, and lame gay shit like that cuz it is non-threatening. Speaking of your kino task. You should escalate in this order:
1) nudging/arm punching/butt bumps when joking with each other
2) Sitting closer together (if your on a couch, see if she lets you lay your head in her lap as if you were tired and falling asleep, lay your head on her lap with your back to her -- its less threatening)
3) Put your arm around her neck while your walking&talking. Do this only for like 10-15 seconds or so, MAX, then release her. Keep doing this every so often until she responds by wrapping her arms around your waist. Until she wraps around your waist, do not move foward to the next kino step.
4) When your walking with your arms around each other each other (above), let go and grab her hand. Then walk while holding hands for a minute or two and then let go.
Act like this is all happenning naturally. It is important that you release her before she has the option to push you away.
5) If you got away with holding hands, you can get away with kissing her. Don't kiss her the first time you hold hands.
6) To kiss her: Wait until the 2nd time you hold hands (while walking&talking) and when you stop walking, so will she. Turn your shoulders towards her to face her slowly and closely. Lean in and kiss her. Don't lean in too much tho.
These 6 kino steps should be a slow process that may take place over a few different days with her. Seperate each kino step by atleast 1-2 hours. Calibration is very important. If you go to much too fast? You blew it.
You should never discuss "Dating" with her or say anything that implies that you want to date her. If you ask her out, tell her you want to "spend the day with her". And take her out and just chill with her, tease her, kino escalate, release. Your going to be doing A LOT of Bait Hook Reel Release.
A great place to take her to accomplish a "day together" is the beach. Take her somewhere that you will do a lot of walking. Preferably the state fair, the beach, avoid the mall. Take her wine tasting, etc.. You'll need to do a lot of bumping/teasting/nudging/teasing etc... and you can't do that sitting down in a gay ass movie theater. DO NOT TAKE HER TO THE MOVIES.
100% of the time you should maintain the idea that you didn't expect this to happen bla bla bla. But don't say it unless she says something first. You need to down play this whole experience. It will be very awkward to her if you push to fast, get to aggressive, talk about needy shit, have needy body language , etc...
and thats "Get out of the LJBF Zone 101"... folks
Best of luck.
