<p>lol we know eachother much to well. and we promised that's what would happen... it will happen</p>
<p>your dillusional... it wont happen like you plan it</p>
<p>but yeah.. it was awkward bc i liked her before, and u kon how guys are.. we just stick it on the back burner b/c i told myself.. .she'll think it's weird... and i didn't know how she though... but now i know and i'm glad it worked out this way</p>
<p>I've gone out with a close friend and we ended up breaking up and kind of drifting apart. But we have been getting more close lately...so even if you do end up breaking up it isn't the end of the world.</p>
<p>terrybhs,</p>
<p>I'm friends with girls I've dated. It can work out just fine as long as neither one of you holds yourself to silly STEREOTYPES.</p>
<p>I'm sort of in the same situation...I'm the guy, but haven't told my friend that I like her. Hopefully I can conjure up the courage to do so pretty soon, or else she may slip away. But, anyway, if there's a chance it can work out, then go for it...you only live once.</p>
<p>(a guy is narrating btw.)</p>

<p>Ya dude, go for it. I could have dated this girl in high school who I was good friends with, but didn't. She was really attractive in HS, but she put on a freshman 15 and then a sophomore 15. Now its too late.... Don't let this opportunity pass you by.</p>
<p>I have never dated anyone that WASN'T a close friend. </p>
<p>Anyways, that's really cute. Go out already.</p>
<p>Edit: Ok, you are already. Nvm.</p>
<p>breaking up doesnt mean end of friendship as chocolate said. however what terry said is also true.. most girls lack the ability to let thing go.. even if you do stay as friends afterwards they'll remember what happened (might not even remember the actual event but the feeling stays)
being able to date your best friend is an enormous privilage.. just make sure you dont take this trust for granted and do take her feelings into acount. girls are emotional, way more eomtional than guys can ever hope to understand.</p>
<p>I wish you the best of luck and applaud you for having the courage to go through with this. as someone else said before.. I also decided against dating a friend in fear of putting the friendship on the line.</p>
<p>whenever i read the title of this thread, i keep thinking you are a girl and get this weird feeling...</p>
<p>just had to let that out. peace-X</p>
<p>"1. Whoever typed that should know that I have lost another bit of my waning faith in mankind. Oh, the grammar and spelling...
2. I hate chain mail."</p>
<p>hmm yea....just so you know, i didn't type that story. i copy-pasted it from a blog....</p>
<p>puffer,</p>
<p>I know. Doesn't change my feelings on the topic.</p>
<p>Eww, the chain letter was horrible. Honestly, those kind of people that actually have that life never enjoyed it because they were always too scared.</p>
<p>To an extent I agree with Terry - girls do have trouble letting things go (I know, trust me) but 98% of the time, we are entirely right. When my boyfriend started college, we both had a lot of things going on and stress, so we considered breaking up and did. Twenty minutes later I called him and said I couldn't do this, so we did a "trial." It's been about two months now and he will randomly say how glad he is that I didn't go through with it because he had temporarily forgotten how much I mean to him and how much support/advice I give him. </p>
<p>Some girls are just clingy, but Terry isn't completely right and at times, I believe he is emotionally disconnected from society (kidding).</p>
<p>I would have to agree that generally girls having trouble letting things go. I'm really afraid of the end of this year when my boyfriend and I go off to different colleges. I would prefer to try and make things work, but it seems like he is leaning towards just breaking up. I know I won't be able to let that go and its still months away. :(</p>
<p>Isn't your opposite naturally your best friend too?</p>
<p>All I can say to anyone is, care. Love. Choose the highest good for the other person.</p>

<p>"Isn't your opposite naturally your best friend too?"</p>
<p>I've noticed this is true...</p>
<p>Not true in my case. My girlfriend is quite similar to me in almost all ways.</p>
<p>I think I gave the best advice in this thread so far.</p>
