I have this really really cool guy friend of mine and we are really close friends. we hang out all the time and tell eachother almost everything. we have alot in common and have alot of fun together. and i think im startin to "like" him. i know i love him to death. but im just not sure if i "love" him or not. im just wondering if yall think its wrong to go out with someone who's such a good friend and risk loosing a great friendship over a relationship that didnt work out?? thanks. |

I'm a little confused, the part where you said "over a relationship that didn't work out". How do you know it won't work out, unless you were already in a relationship with him?? |

This one is simple. I dated a girl that was my best friend in the world once, and really it didnt work out AT ALL, we ended it after the first kiss cuz it kinda felt like kissing my sister on the lips, just wrong. if you do it right, and things dont work out, just end it on good terms. Me and her are still great friends 5 years later, it was only akward for about the first 3 days after the breakup of a relationship that lasted not even a week. But I would say give it a try, and make sure that if he says yes, that he knows that if it dosent work out, you can still be friends. No reason in loosing a friend over something that stupid |

It can work out fine, i dated my best friend for 2 years. after we broke up it was akward for about a week but if you really are best friends then it should just go back to normal with a bit of time. me and him are still friends three years later. |

It's a more complicated situation, because you can't just easily cut all ties if it doesn't work out, but I don't think it's a bad way to go. As a fifteen year old, I think it's good that you would start to have a crush on someone who you already seem to like and respect as a friend. It goes a bit deeper than "OMG he's so HOTTTT!@" ...You know? I'm dating a guy right now that I've been close friends with for almost a decade, and it's the most ridiculously awesome thing ever. Just be cautious and keep an open line of communication. Take some time to sort our your feelings, about whether you just really like him as a friend or something more. With close friendships, those could get confused. |

I guess it depends on if you're going to regret not acting on your feelings. You'll never know how good it could have worked out unless you try. And just because a relationship may not work out in the end, it doesn't mean you guys have to cease being friends, or even close friends. I went out with a close friend a while back, it didn't work out so I ended it, and now we're probably closer than we ever were before, he's truly my best friend. Whatever your choice is, good luck. |

I can't think of anything better to base a relationship on then being best friends first, it helps you make it through things better. I don't think its a bad idea but just discuss it with him and come to an agreement that if it doesn't work you both will work hard to keep the friendship. You can only find out if you give it a try. Good luck and whatever choice you make, whether it's to give it a try or not, it'll be the right choice for you. |
