Do close friends really ever become "more"??

[D_Master]

Before I get into my question and predicament I want to tell a little story from work yesterday. I was talking to a coworker about this new job I'm trying to get with a girl that used to work with us whose gone somewhere else for more $$. Anyways, she jokingly says we should get married because we've been such good friends, blah blah, and that's how it is isn't it, close friends get married. This was all a joke because she used to like me and I had no interest in her anyways. I told this lady that told me that that friends never become "more" anyways.

Anyways, my predicament that I'm in, is that I've been friends with these 2 girls for several years now and kinda gotten to see them grow up a little. In a way I would describe it as kind of like a brother/sister relationship, in other ways not. Well now that the oldest is a senior and creepin up on her 18th bday here in about a month while I'm in college. Lately, I've began thinking stuff like, maybe we could go out sometime here soon. But then I think about it and doubt that it would ever go further because of the fact that I've know their family for quite awhile now.

I don't know exactly what I'm asking, I guess can close friends really become more, and what advice might anyone give. There's probly some stuff on the "friend zone" i could look at too, but I was wondering what else people might have.

that usually happens after a night of alot of drinkin alone just the two of you , when ur so drunk that u both let ur true feelings out and start macking on each other , if she says stop then u cant look to become more, if shes onboard, then maby she has the same feelings u have...

I did it with a girl i was close with for 3 years. Just flirt alot and add in some kino and take it from there.

If u never flirt with her, becareful, dont just start flirting heavy with her all of a sudden.

Yeah there is "probably" some stuff you could look at.

I'd find it doubtful that this thread will turn up any "new" information about escaping the friend zone. Do a search and find years of posts (and experience) relating to this subject. This is a recurring theme on this board so info is abundant about it.
