I wish I could figure out what makes that jump or dividing line between "friend" and "relationship" so transparent for me, and so hard for everyone else.

Well here's a pretty good indicator of what the line is. Is there sex or physical intimacy? If so, then it's a relationship (well unless you're just f*ck buddies, excuse the term). If the answer is no, then you're still in friends territory.

Have you made the moves on her? Planted one on her yet? If not, you gotta start thinking about making that move...

Physical intimacy = lovers
No physical intimacy = friends

I just thought of another thing. Is there a spoken or unspoken expectation that neither of you are seeing or intend seeing anyone else? If so, then it is in relationship territory. For example, if you went out on a date with another girl, would she be mad or sad? Or if she went out with another guy, would you be mad or sad? If the answer is yes and yes, then it's in relationship territory. If it's yes and no or no and yes, then it is one-sided, and relationships must have both people feeling the same.
