They always say that having a relationship w/ a good friend is a bad idea.... But would you ever consider sleeping/seeing with one of your friends?????????
Been there, done that. As long as there is clear communication in regard to any sort of expectations involving both parties, then chaos can (possibly) be avoided...sometimes, not always. It's a tricky thing, though, really.
The problem with being good friends for so long before having a relationship is you end up knowing far more than you want to about their family.
When it becomes a relationship, the father and mother think their relationship with you has changed as well. It hasn't. Because I'm to be an in-law doesn't mean you can tell me what to do anymore than when we were all just friends.
If it does not work out, chances are that you lose a friend. I would take the chance though. I already know what type of person they are and chances are it would have a better chance of working out.
Like I said, it's a tricky type of situation, if all of the sudden your platonic friend becomes your lover...the main thing is to discuss where the relationship is going from that point on. Sometimes, it can be a great thing to have a best friend as your lover...but, again, communication must be allowed & practiced, so that there are no misunderstandings...

I dont like having relationships w/ them but its so hard we're with eachother all the time and then feelings just develop i just need to hibernate in my room... but i think its cuz when i meet guys when i'm out i think they have motives.. which is judgemental land i should probably stop thinking like that.

but... what i cant control myself an jump on there sh** ... i'm beginning to think we were just "friends w/ benefits" an i just didnt see it or was mislead...
i dont know, see i have this friend that recently told me he loves me, (as more than a friend) and i just couldnt go there, i mean, i know him too well, and i know too much. he is a great person, but i just cant see as as anything more. but i have another friend that if he and i had chemestry i would consider, u know, it just depends on the individuals. and ye, the best basis for a relationship is friendship, why else would u date, lol. im not sure bout ur situation lena, but just think, can u really see ur self with this guy in the future. i think u gotta be sure with a friend, dont just test the water, or u will loose a friend. good luck, hope you make the right decision.

Its a hard subject and one i have faced i told her my feelings but she didn't feel the same way but in saying that i feel me and her can be closer because we got that level of honesty. i known her for 16 years and we have ended up like brother and sister so it's better to keep a friend than to lose a loverand a friend
very true, and i think the honesty does help. i guess its hard, u really want to make ur friends happy, but its just not something u can fake, u know? well, good luck. Jai
