Well, I understand how you want to get your splits. I am a gymnast for about 7 years now, and flexablitiy is very important. I am working my oversplits now, but you can get your splits and go further by doing the same thing. You have to do this when your muscles are warm, like after a work out or else you can pull something.
But start out by stretching your quads amd hamstrings and doing some lunge stretches. Then you should find a ledge or stair or something about 6-8 inches high and put your front leg on it, and go down into the splits as far as you can, and hold for a minute. Then, turn around and put your back knee on the ledge and go down as far as you can for a minute. (stretching the hips) Do this on both sides a few times a week and you should notice a difference. Hope I helped you out a little!
