...I'm wondering if dating my best guy-friend is the best thing because I've heard that you'll never be friends after but as I've said before...I've dated one of my other friends and we broke up and we're still good friends...The thing is...with this guy...I never really liked him before but now I feel as though I can't spend a day without talking to him...Is it a good idea to date him....

My best friend (who happened to be a guy) and me tried going out for 5 months and we recently broke up. We're still friends but it's just not the same. If you still want to be bffs even if you break-up, I do not think you should date him.

And I don't think you guys'll necessairly never be friends again. It's only awkward if you guys make it awkward, and so on. If you two were to just push it behind you guys and focus on being friends again and just talking and work on it, then I'm sure you guys could smoothly get your friendship back on track.
To ensure you two'll stay friends in the end, maybe just talk about it with him first and let him know you're worried about what's going to happen if you two ever were to break up. Some couples even make a promise to eachother when they first start dating ; no matter what happens, you'll always remain friends. That might make you two feel a little better about your relationship and dating eachother.
luvin_chick<3 answered Sunday October 8 2006, 9:46 pm: i'm going through the same thing as you are. i can't stop thinking about him, and always wondering about him. i guess i do like him. but anyways. there's a lot of pros and cons to this thing.
pros: it's easier to talk to him. you know him so it's easier to have a good relationship with him. it just feels better to be with him.
cons: if/when you break up, it's gonna be awkward. your friendship is in risk. you might lose somebody whose close to you.
i guess i would say, ask him if he would wanna try going out. if you want it to be a successful relationship, both of you have to commit to it. also, make sure that if/when you break up, you'll always stay friends. you would not want to end up not talking to each other after all you've been through. i learned that the hard way. and, never change. ya'll have been friends all this time, and just cuz ya'll are dating doesn't mean you should change. that's really important.
if you need anything else, feel free to IM me. my AIM s/n is:: WANNA BE iiN LUV [ luvin_chick<3's advice column | Ask luvin_chick<3 A Question ]
dramaditz answered Sunday October 8 2006, 9:20 pm: i think that dating a friend is better than dating someone your not really friends with....its a lot less akward...and you breeze past the getting to know you stage...your comfortable in a good way...true the first kiss might be a little weird...but sometimes weird is more intersting...and if you ever do brake up make sure he knows that you wanna go back to being good friends, and then actually go through with it...if you wanna stay good friends, just stay the same...it might get akward at first, but you'll work it out...if you brake up that is...maybe you two might be soulmates;)
MummuM answered Sunday October 8 2006, 9:06 pm: There's so many good things and bad things for something like this. You guys might be meant for eachother and if you don't give it a try, you'll never know if it's suppose to work out or not. He could be the one for you and you'll be holding back on something because you're scared of ruining a friendship. Since you guys are best friends it going to be hard for you. I mean, what if something doesn't work out in the relationship and you guys break up then never talk again. You'll be losing your boyfriend and bestfriend. But on the other hand, he could be the guy you're going to spend the rest of your life with. He could be the one and you'll be passing that up because you didn't take a chance. So, honestly, if I were you I'd listen to your heart and do what it tells you to do. The heart never lies, so follow it. [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]
