Get Him Alone
Getting your guy alone is the first step towards changing his preconceived notions about you. Ask him out for a drink or have him come to your house for assistance of some kind such as leaking faucet, computer issues or some other issues. The key here is to get him alone away from others who help keep you stereo typed in that friend zone. One-on-one time with your guy will give him the opportunity to view you in a different light.
Stand out
It’s important to stand out when you are in your group so that he will view you as something special. Make an extra effort on your hair, make-up and wardrobe, it’s important for him to view you differently. Put on your sparkle, speak up, smile and laugh, make yourself the center of attention. Make yourself effortless and fun to be with. Set yourself apart from the group and let him see your personality come through. Do things that allow him to see your talents and skill sets. Show your sense of humor and bring some levity to your relationship. Make a concentrated effort to stand out in a flattering light.
Find a Common Bond

Get your Flirt On

Touch his arm, laugh at his jokes and do everything you can to make it seem like the two of you have a special connection. Changing your wardrobe and hair and body language will definitely make you stand out and get his attention.
Confess your feelings
