DON'T DO IT!
Okay, that's just my initial reaction but here's what you need to understand: If you get into a relationship with a good friend, you need to truly understand your risks. The greatest risk of all is that you very well might never be friends again. Unless you have completly embraced that risk, and are willing to take it (and are willing to give up your friendship all together because of what greatness could come from a more intimate relationship) then I wouldn't get into it. If you're at peace with the risk you're about to take, then do it.
But understand....it's an all or nothing sort of thing.

Yes it will mess up your friendship if you date,,,,,but I would defitintly take the chance because you never know it just might be something real. Think about it.....if it doesn't work out ...do you think your new man is going to bee cool with you callin and hangin with your ex that you used to love or have sex with.....I think not....plus if things go bad, you can never look at them the same...NEVER!!!!....you just have to determine if the feelings yall share are worth losing each other as best friends.....I say go for it...you never know unless you try.

I think if you're not friends, then nothing real can happen anyway. We're always complaining that men use us for sex, but we don't require that they spend time becoming our friends and getting to know us. Then when the "fireworks" die down, there's nothing left to build on. BUT, if you're aiming to STAY friends with the person you're dating, probably not a good idea. It will inevitably change things.

not if you are just going out as a friend and not calling it a date. 2 years should be long enough to know him before going out with him!
