Would it be awkward for two very close friends to start a dating relationship?

Question

I keep thinking if the friendship would still remain the same after the separation.

Answer 1

it depends really.
if you really value the friendship, i would strongly urge against it. friendship is very important and to risk a good one is terrible.
but if you two both have feelings and feel itd work, id go for it.

its all on how highly you value the friendship

Answer 2

Yes and Yes and Yes it would be awkward, but you get over it and work through it. And our friendship is extremely damaged, (experience speaking) because he took advantage of me and my weakness's because we were so close. However, we will always be friends, but it will never be the same and I will never let him get that close again! When you are that close-you can't go back.
However, if it works-then it's worth it! I'm glad I tried, because I didn't want to go through the rest of my life thinking what if and always wondering!
The best relationships I had were 2 and only 2 and they were both really close friends. One died and well the other I'm still mad at. So there is my 2 bits from a really angry, hurt and sore somebody that was in the situation of your question. You need to follow what you think is right. But communication is key!

Answer 3

You should always start as friends first then go into other things. If you build your relationship on friendship then it is built on a very strong foundation.

Answer 5

Once the line from friendship to romance is crossed, it's never the same. It may work out for the best but if it doesn't you lose your friend too.

Answer 6

you're heavily interior the chum zone after 2 years. i'm not asserting that that is impossible, yet i've got heard which you will rather tell them your actual emotions no later than a month into the friendship rather. i'm no relationship professional by using any ability, so take this a grain of salt in case you prefer.

Answer 7

I think that that'd be the best way to start a relationship that would LAST and you know would last, but if you are uncertain that i'd last then I wouldn't screw up a close friendship for it.

Answer 8

every relationship is awkward at one time or another.. but it should feel very comfortable since it involves 2 close friends. that is the best way because you know eachother inside and out.. a truthful knowledge of teh other. that the way they should all be.

Answer 9

When I was 16, I dated one of my closest guy friends. It was really weird and ackward. It only lasted a couple of months, we loved each other so much, but it was just odd. Especially when intamacy issues came up. But we were lucky, our friendship went back to normal, it was kind of something for us to laugh at.

Answer 10

I think that it will always be a special friendship between you and your friend. and i think that it is alright to explore another level of a relationship with the person..
