How do you start a relationship with one of your best friends?

Answer 1

Wow, this is a tough question. I tell you what, i will answer you most honestly out of experience.

I dated my best friend in the world for three years. He was seriously my best friend. We did everything together. As far as starting out a relationship, you cant really force it. Its one of those things that happens naturally and just tends to work. You respect each other because you are friends, and then mostly everything else works out because of that good foundation.

The best way to start a relationship is by telling the other person you are interested in them. Its also the hardest when you are really good friends with each other. You just have to be honest and take it step by step. It may be a little akward at first but it just depends on whether you are both serious about making a relationship out of a friendship.

However, it may go the opposite direction. They may not be interested in making the relationship anything more than friends. Be prepared for either reaction.

Personally, my relationship of three years didnt work out. We really dont even talk now. You have to decide whats more important: dating that friend now, or the long term possibly negative effects dating could have on your friendship. You may wake up one day without your best friend, AND without a boyfriend/girlfriend.

Answer 2

Well do you think your best friend has feelings for you? Talk it over, you don't want to ruin a great friendship if a relationship doesn't work out, so try to make sure you two are on the same page. You obviously already know you two click well if you're best friends, so that's an excellent foundation from which to build an awesome relationship!

Answer 3

Dating you best friend can be tricky. It can sometimes ruin a friendship. Make sure you are willing to lose your friend. It is a risk. If you don't act on your feelings you could be missing the "Love of you life" and if you do act you could lose your best friend. IF you make the decision to ty to start a relationship just ask if your friend wants to go to a movie or out to eat. Try to tear youself away from a group. And be honest. Express your feelings.

Answer 4

With your best friend you already have a close relationship. You have already established trust, commonalities, understanding etc.

The next step is intimacies. In which case may feel a bit odd.

Try going for the small things, like taking this person out to eat or making this person a meal. Make room for conversation in order that this person or yourself may reveal what he/she is feeling about the other person.

When the feelings are exposed, the next level comes fairly naturally.

Good luck!!

Answer 5

1st off you have to think about whether it's a good idea?
Don't get me wrong I'm not discouraging you but if you like the way things are maybe you shouldn't try to change them. Lots of things change when you go from being friends to bf & gf.
If you love her because you know if you do! if you love her and you never ever want to loose your friend be careful!
Another thing just be patience if you are meant to be together then you'll end up together

Answer 6

Ask them out those are the best relationships to have and they always say marry your best friend

Answer 7

Ask her out to a nice resturant and tell her that you like her. Bring a bear bouquet would be a plus :) Good luck!

Go to a movie with them or something simple and casual. Hold their hand or attempt to at least. They will probably get the message.

You have to make sure that they feel the same way about you and see if they want to go the next step with you.

Answer 10

Just tell her that your starting to have feelings for her. And ask her if she feels the same way. And if not tell her you don't want to ruin your friendship.
