Friendship to Relationship


Question Posted Saturday June 16 2007, 3:20 am

How many people think having a relationship with your best friend is a good thing or a bad thing?
If your friendship sparks and you know each other for 10 years or longer. Will it last or mess up your friendship?
I hear that sometimes when sex is involved it wouldn’t be the same. Is that true?

For some people, it could be both ways. Good or bad. It could make you become closer, because of the feelings you have. Or it could just make it become awkard, because you were good friends for too long. Also just depends on the person. If you feel like it's really what you feel is right. I say go for it. it cant hurt to try. And for the sex part, it wont be the same cause you took the relationship to the next level, but that could also bring you closer. Your decision. Hope i helped.. :)

If you really fall in love, than it can really bring you closer. This is a good thing.
But if things don't work out, it's what you make it.
The point in a relationship is to make things work out as best as you can. This means no lying, having trust, communication, and all that other good stuff. Relationships often end when one of the key elements are thrown away by either person. The lucky relationships are the ones that end in favor of friendship, not because of someone lying or failing to communicate.
When relationships end, it's not hard as some people make it out to be to stay friends. You were just in a relationship with someone and you really cared about them, you don't just stop caring about them in every which way, so there is no reason not to stay friends. You just have to want it. A relationship is a big bond. A friendship is another big bond.
Your friendship will be changed, but whether you make it a good change or a bad change is up to the two of you.

Your friendship will absolutely change - there's no debating that. Whether it'll be a good change or a bad change remains to be seen. Some transitions from friendship to relationship can work beautifully making your bond even stronger; however, some transitions can end in heartache.

If it works out, there's a chance that your best friend could end up being your soul mate, and that kind of love usually lasts forever. If it doesn't work out, not only have you lost the relationship, but there's a good chance that your friendship won't survive either. A lot of broken up couples make promises to remain friends, but it rarely happens.

If the idea of losing your friend breaks your heart - I wouldn't risk it by starting up a romantic relationship. If the love you feel for your friend is overwhelming and you think he or she may be your soul mate, then it may be worth it to you. In the end, it's up to you to weigh your options and make your decision. It won't be an easy decision to make, but hopefully my advice will help you.

It really depends on the people, if you guys are really close and even if you broke up, you would still be friends for sure, then go for it. I dont think its a bad idea unless you know that a break-up would be messy and ruin your friendship forever. Sex will definitly make you look at him different, and he will look at you different but it can be in a good way. I would make sure your really ready to have sex with HIM before you do it.
