Best Friend.

Ok, Firstly I am very socially awkward. I have very few friends, only really one or two, and I'm still mostly a loner.
I have known the friend this is about for almost two years and almost all of this time I have liked her.

Anyway, Earlier this year we were just friends, not particularly close and I asked her out. She said no because she didn't want to lose my friendship, I know this is usually bullshit, but In this case it was true. She also told me she used to have a crush on me -_-
It was awkward between us for a while, but we eventually got over it and we are now best friends. We have both gone through a lot of stuff this year and at times, we've been all that has kept the other going.
I still really like her (she doesn't know), I think about her all the time and she means the world to me.
Anyway what I guess I'm asking I guess is, how can I show her I don't just think of her as a friend and how can I get her to like me/get her to become my girlfriend.

This will sound pathetic, but I have quite the social phobia and have never had a girlfriend before because of it, so any help is much appreciated.

Ask her out to a cup of coffee or something, see how that goes. There's no way to make her like you if she just likes you as a friend. But still be there for her and be a good friend and things can sometimes change. Just take it slow and easy, hang out with her, etc. Like I said, a cup of coffee.

Exactly this. If she only likes you as a friend there isn't much you can do about it - but feelings change.
