Ok. This always seems to be a HUGE problem with me. I'm a very laid-back girl and get along with almost all guys. I'm just a lot closer to them than girls for some reason. Yet, i don't dress like a tomboy anymore, I've developed a more preppy or matching sense of style and i guess become a lot girlier than before, but I still end up the "sister" or best friend. I don't see how I can get around that. I still get the you're a hottie comments but I'm like a sister to most guys I'm interested in. How do I prevent this from happening?

Go all over him, I guess?

act non-sisterly? i've never been the sister...i'm the girl who can't have guy friends because some kind of more-than-friends-thing happens. either i like him, he likes me or we both like each other. each has ended in disaster. i only have one guy friend who is just a friend. you should be lucky that you can have guy friends who just want to be friends!

but what is the problem? you want to have your guy friends all liking you? that is much more trouble than it's worth.

just pick out the one guy you like and act flirty and stuff with him. treat him differently. be all huggy and close and stuff with him.

I agree with Chii =)
To prevent being "just friends" flirt with him!
Dont talk very openly to him, dont discuss your own problems or something.. thats a friends thing.

awwh i have the SAME exact problems...but not hardly anymore because i don't want to be in a relationship right now, but yeah anyways...i think you should just be more flirtatious like it has already been suggested lols =] just flirt and have fun, if that doesn't work then maybe you two were just meant to be friends? i don't know thats just what i think..what doesn't work then it doesnt work

bang him =].

no I'm kidding. Don't bang him, seriously.

You should flirt a bit to show everyone you're not just a girl. (good song btw, by no doubt).

Yeah so uh, after everyone important to you knows that you're not just a sister or bestfriend, stop flirting. If you flirt too much, it'll get annoying and then people will call you a whore.

I personally like girls who are sweet and that act nice with sweet smiles. I absolutely hate girls who are too flirty. I also hate girls who picture themselves as the best.

btw, girls who play oriental instruments are hot dugou. Very hot dugou. Also girls in traditional dresses (chinese). whoot.

i agree with chii.

i'm in that same situation right now, my guy friends tell me i'm like 'one of the guys' and they treat me like they would any guy, cept of course a little nicer my best girl friend hates it cause i'm closer to the guys than she is.
anyways, flirt with him just don't over do it.

ugh don't u hate that? i totally sympathize.

Since you're already so close, invite him to hang out somewhere, just the two of you, dress a little nicer and drop some hints? I think you have to have some kind of spark, (chemistry, whatever u call it) to begin romantic relationships. that can happen after youve know them for a while but you have to do something different to make them think of you as a girl and not the "dependable sis"

guyfriends are amazing to have too tho! don't forget that.

heh if it's already to late..then i feel sorry for ya...he might not see you for more then a good friend...but if not....change...make him look at you in a different aspect flirt with him..get close..stare into his eye..etc...etc....etc...us guys are not dumb...we can take a hint...
