NO...NO..NO...Because right now you have a great friend, and if you did date, and it didn't work out, you will lose that friendship forever, there is no going back to it....

Never feel like falling in love or getting with someone is a Bad thing, only if you can really ask your self it is or not, But really that is the best thing to ever so is to be with someone that make you laugh, rather then make you cry, Right? Someone to hang out knowing that he or she likes that too, doing things together is the best thing ever, not having to worry about if she or he wants to go or isn't having fun, when two people fall in love its what counts The Fun, The Laughters and the Companionship. ANd another thing, if all else fails then the both of can actually sit down and talk about what could or would happen and if was in the best interested for both then there wouldn't be anyone to blame if things went wrong, talking and comminication are the key to any relationship!!!!!

It depends on whether or not you have the potential for romantic chemistry together, which is completely different from friendship chemistry. Are you attracted to him? My best friend of five years always liked me, but I was afraid to go out with him because I didn't want to ruin the friendship. He meant the world to me and I didn't want to lose him, and I felt because we were so close and had so much fun together that he would never hurt me, so I began to consider it. After five years, he convinced me to go out with him, and everything was great at first, but after a while it turned bad, really bad.
I think when we are friends with someone, especially if we have liked them romantically for some time, we idealize this person and the relationship. When you get into the relationship, and it is different than the ideal scenario you've created in your mind, both parties become disenchanted and resentful. Also, you find yourself subconsciously comparing how he treats you to how he treated his other girlfriends.
I'm not saying not to do it, but give it some careful thought. In my case, we've tried to make it work for 7 years now in a romantic relationship, and we can't seem to do it. In reality, we never measured up to the fantasy of each other. The laughter, fun, and trust you mentioned are now gone, and we have barely any friendship left. It could work out differently for you, but I would give anything in the world to go back to the way we were.

If you are mature enough to be friends if it doesn't work, Yes. I have done it and still have her as a friend. I also have a ex wife as a friend. But, on the other hand from my younger years I have Ex's that I can't stand. I all depends on the maturity factor going in. May be the best thing ever. I would give it a shot, and if things don't work out at all in the end then there was no real friendship to begin with

Lots of women struggle with this question. The way I see it, a good boyfriend or girlfriend needs to be a good friend, so every relationship you get into is risking a friendship. Secondly, if you aren't happy with just being this person's friend (especially watching them date someone else) then it doesn't matter. Better to lose a friendship that was never going to be enough than to keep it when it's not really what you wanted.

The guy you always have fun with and can make you laugh - this is the guy you want. If you are friends now you will still be friends if you start dating.

You are obviously developing feelings for this friend of yours. If you like him enough, go for it, because when you get with someone else, you are always going to think in the back of your head: "What if I was with him instead, how would it be like?" There is always going to be the "what if????" I say, go for it. If you lose a friend, then hey, at least you know that it was not meant to be.

I believe it's worth the chance. I lost one of my best friends who was a girlfriend because I told her I liked her but knew it wasn't mutual, we evenutally became friends again, it would have killed me not to have eventually told her. A few months later I got close to another girl who liked me and told me but i rejected her, she was worried it'd hurt the friendship, 2 weeks later i told her i liked her and we dated for 2.5 years. we just broke up, but that has nothing to do with because we were friends first. I say go for. relationships based on friendship are the best. You need to take risks in love sometimes

Well, I met this guy named Richard a few weeks ago. About 2 weeks ago, we kissed, and now we are together. He is still the SAME person he was, and he still makes me laugh ALL the time. I would take a leap of faith here!

I would if I found him attractive.
But then again maybe not.
I have a male friend who I've known 40 years. I wouldn't endanger our friendship for anything. Someone asked me once why didn't I marry him. He and I discussed it, and decided we have something better than marriage. He will always be my friend.
