You can't make someone feel what they don't feel. If indeed he does love you as a friend then that is something to cherish but you need to accept that is all it is going to be.

There is nothing you can do!!!!
The feelings of love as more than a friend are either there or they aren't; however, there are times when friendship can certainly grow into more....So all you can do is continue to be the friend to him that you have been!!!!!!!

If you have to change his mind then either he is not interested in you as anything other than a friend, or he just has not taken the time to explore anything other than friendship with you.
I just can not picture going into a relationship thinking about changing the other that soon.
You will work through it.

I think that too many people become lovers before they become "friends". You're going in the right direction.
With patience, this friend may eventually become a lover or partner.
Keep the faith

I wouldnt exactly give up on him...but you letting him know how you feel may be the answer! Maybe he doesnt want to tell you he loves you for fear of rejection from you? JMHO!

I have been in the same situation with some of my female friends. I think that added to the advice already given, I should say that it's very important to get to know the other person more and more.
Once you are sure that there are feelings that are not based on some fancy dream, and you discover you are comfortable with him, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't tell him how you feel. Of course, you must pretty sure because if he feels that it's not what he wants then you might risk losing him.
So basically I would be very cautious. And if you are meant to be together, then things will happen naturally. When I tried to force the process, I tended to lose rather than gain. But if his decision is to remain friends, I think you should cherish what you have and build on it.
Hope this helps.
