In love stories theres always a happy ending where the girl marries her best friend. A friendship is such a good foundation to a very successful relationship. First of all if hes your best friend that means you trust him and trust is a very big part in a relationship. also, you know that you and him get along great and you know all of his good qualities as well as his bad ones. although if it does end badly, you will lose a great friend. its really the risk you have to be willing to take. good luck and i hope i helped :)

It's all up to you. You can end up with him and odds are, it won't last for years. When I was 15, I wasn't expecting any of my relationships to last forever. I knew I wouldn't be with someone I dated when I was 15 forever. So I never risked dating one of my good friends.
If you want to, you can go for it. But if you can handle not having him around if you guys break up, then go for it.
If you think you don't want to lose him, then stay friends.

Well, only you can decide if it is worth it. What we can do is help you understand the factors involved.
First of all, be aware that the odds are you will break up. Very, very few relationships between 15 year olds last into adulthood. Of course, there are the odd exceptions.
Second, if you do break up, the odds are the friendship will never be the same again. This is particularly the case if one side decides to break up with the other (as is often the case). Then the person getting dumped will hardly be ready to start being buddies again. Now again, I am not saying it is impossible - I have seen it happen - but it is just very unlikely.
All this being said, I have to admit I would personally go for it. But I am a bit of a gambler and if I see a potential big payout I go all-in. Not saying it is the smart choice (in fact it probably isn't) but I would do it.
Whichever way you go, good luck.

I disagree, i think you should you're only 15 after all there is still time, if he says yes.. YAY!! if he says no.. too bad! you'll have plenty of other guys in the future. just do what your heart tells you to do... :)

Dating is a chance you take. You either work out or you don't. If you want my personal opinion I would not risk a close friendship. Considering you both are young, you two have a lot more growing up too do. Life takes a pretty drastic change from 15-18yrs. You go through changes and you start learning how to become an adult once you hit 18. A lot of the times when you date your best friend then something happens the friendship is never the same. If you allow him on that personal level just know if anything went wrong in the relationship you could possibly loose him altogether.
