best friends...or boyfriend


Question Posted Friday October 14 2005, 7:56 pm

This kid I know from school has become really good friends with me. He's average looking...but we have enough in common. He just admitted he likes me, and I admitted I kind of felt the same way. We dont wanna go out because we know it would ruin our friendship. Im just confused...i agree about not going out...but where to from here?

AGEHA answered Monday October 17 2005, 1:53 am:
Well, shouldn't the person you go out with technically be your best friend? I mean, your boyfriend or girlfriend should be someone who you find it the easiest to get along with and share your thoughts and experiences at the most personal level. So really, you should in essence become closer friends by dating.

Now, it's not my fault when you break up a few months later over something incredibly petty and insignificant and you end up losing your best friend over it. That's just one or both of you being a bastard (or bastards). Dating has nothing to do with it. That's why you should date him. Most of the people here that say from personal experience that dating your best friend is a bad idea, most likely could be accused of the aforementioned bastardness.

Get to know each other and it might grow into a relationship. Sometimes with friends, relationships comlicate things, sometimes it doesn't. Just decide do you want to stay friends or take it 1 step higher? Good luck! Hope I helped!

If you like someone and really have feeling for them, go for it. If you are good enough friends and you break up, it will not affect your friendship if they are a true friend.

Still be friends and don't pretend it never happened but don't act okward because of it talk like you used to and act normal an don't talk about it unless you feel that you and your friend are ready

maybe its better for the two of you to be friends or maybe even try the whole "friends with benefits" deal but either way even if you guys do end up dating just make it clear that your not out to hurt him or vice versa and flirt with him. Maybe in a later time you guys will have a change of heart and end up dating.
