How to get out of the just friends rut?

I've been trying to hook up with a girlfriend of mine for about 4 years now, we dated when we were about 13 but that was it. She says we are to close of friends which is stupid. we talk to each other almost everyday, im not a bad looking guy, I work out 4 times a week. She just had a kid last month and that doesn't even bother me. The daddy is a Marine, they broke up and he started dating her sister. Pretty messed up.
but I've been there for her through everything, the pregnancy when he wasn't, everything. And now im about to give up our friendship of 10 years because I can't deal with being just friends anymore. Im seriously an acting boyfriend without any of the benefits and im sick of it, any advice ladies

ok,try to play around with hermore try 2 hug her playfully
