All you can do is spend time with her and be as close and intimate (emotionally, mentally, intellectually as well as romantically) as possible. That's it. What you definitely must NOT do is let up on the fact that you do, indeed, want to date her. You've probably heard of the friend zone. DON'T END UP THERE. Although you should focus on the aforementioned versions of intimacy, do not let her think for a second that you are not trying to be with her as a steady boyfriend. To sum up, what you need to do is enhance intimacy at all fronts and consistently let her know that your goal is romance and not a platonic relationship at all. Good luck.
