text: Try to slowly (and subtly) throw hints at him that you are available. Don't run to him and tell him that you like him... maybe express your desire for a boyfriend, or a lover... tell him you've got a date with someone promising, and watch his reaction. \nTry to look your best (I don't mean modify your appearance, just make the best of it), and let out provocative comments now and then (not directed at him, just in general).\nHis reactions through this will let you know whether he has an interest in you.\nRemember: things change. Maybe he has not thought of you as a potential bride. What you need to do is getting him started at it. Once the thought appears once in his mind, it will come back. It depends on you to make it more and more frequent. \nDon't risk your friendship though... Be subtle enough to make it noticeable; but not as obvious as to make him uncomfortable if he doesn't like you.
