wut should i do??

About a month ago, i started dating one of my friends from elementary school. We'd been best friends for about 6 years, until about march when someone told me he liked me. I'd never thought i'd end up dating him. I liked him when we were younger, but the thought of dating hadn't crossed my mind since like 4th grade! I decided to give it a shot and see if we'd be a good couple. We are happy and stuff, but that happens at the beginning of every relationship. The thing is i'm worried that if/when we break up we won't be friends anymore. should i end it before I lose his friendship??

...

I don't understand how ending it would even help keep his friendship...

thats no help..ur already together so enjoy the moment!! who knows maybe the both of u wont break up...dont end something early for the fear of wut you dont even know...

Why not TALK about it with him...wow...what a concept, eh?

Let him know that you don't want the FRIENDSHIP that was there FIRST to end if the type of relationship you have now doesn't work out in the end. It's as simple as that. If he chooses to step away from you when it's all said and done then he wasn't that great of friend to begin with. A GOOD friendship should be able to withstand the test of ANYTHING.

enjoy it, alot of realtionships start off from the best friendships

true, thanks for your advice. I think I was really stressed out yesterday, though, to think about breaking up with him... well thanks again. :)
