And even if you and him were to break up, you can always still remain friends. Thats what I did with my one ex. We've stayed friends, and now it's like we never even dated. There was no awkwardness or anything. But just think. You guys have been friends for 10 years now. That means you guys have a pretty strong relationship and I'm sure you two are not going to let it stop if you two break up. It sounds to me like you two could get through any possible bumps you ever might have =] And just explain to your friends how you like him and everything. If they were your friends, they'd understand and want you to be happy =D and besides.. at least ONE date wouldn't hurt. =] I hope I helped.

Your friends advice is important, but you need to set your values before you and see what's more important. I mean, I'm not going to lie, I guess sometimes going out with someone CAN ruin a friendship...but you've been friends for TEN years. I find it really hard to believe that if your friendship hasn't ceased yet, there's not much the future will bring that will break it apart. I could be wrong, you know your situation best. Just think of how badly you want to go out with him...can you live WITHOUT going out with him? If that's the case, the feelings aren't strong enough and maybe you should just move on. But, if you do really feel like you can't live not going out with him, it must be important enough. And about going out on a date, as in, just hanging out with him...like I said...go do it. That's not going to be the thing to ruin your friendship. [ Mercy_x_Me's advice column | Ask Mercy_x_Me A Question ]
