For about a year now my friend & I have had "something" going on between us. We never took it beyond "innocent flirting"; but nonetheless there has always been something there. Well now we're both single & I'm not sure where our relationship is going. It's like we both want to, but are unsure of how to go about things; or afraid to risk our friendship. Any advice, ideas or ways to bring it up without making it awkward. I have a blast chilling with him, but would it be okay to take things into the romantic realm?

Real friends are a rarity so tread carefully on this one. Decide how important the friendship is to you and ask yourself if you are willing to risk that friendship on the possibility that the 2 of you might be a couple. Relationships have a way of fizzling out rather quickly and then what...You can't go back to how it was before you crossed the line but if the relationship works, it would be great to share a relationship with someone that you liked first then grew to love. This is a tough spot to be placed in. I would probably go for it and see what happens. That's how I am. I wouldn't want to always have to wonder what if. Expect things to change. You won't be able to share all the stuff that you shared as "just friends". But if you've been flirting for a year, it's about time for something to give. Just do it...I guess. Good luck!

I had this same situation a few years ago. I never wanted to kiss my friend but then she cornerd me...I pretty much would not let me leave until I kissed her...we had a great relationship and I will always love her, but our realtionship ended and our friendhip can never again return. this is what hurts the most because i, a guy lost not only a girlfriend but one of my best friends and vice versus...the moral of this short novel is to be sure that you are ready for a real realtionship otherwise you are going to ruin possibly a better friendship.
For the record though, that relationship was the best of my life and we still communicate, but it is not the same. I say if you really like and care for him, go for it...you only get once chance at true love!!

if you think your friendship is more important then make it clear that if u date then it wouldnt end harsh regardless and you would still be friends you can only ask and see you are friends you know

I say play each encounter on how you each feel. If it feels right okay if not you can wait a little.
