Would you take the risk of falling in love and having a romantic relationship with your best friend? If yes, what if that romantic relationship failed? How would you save your friendship?

it depends on the kind of relation and what kind of person you and your friend are. this friendship and romance thing is a double edged sword it will always cut you no matter which side hits you.

My best friend and I have known each other for almost 10 years, and yeah, the discussion of whether we should date or not has come up. But honestly, its a 50/50. I could date him because I already know everything there is to know about him, its comfortable, and I know I get along with him, but theres really no passion or excitement. Or we could remain close friends and know that we are there for each other no matter what, with nothing to get in the way. Plus, its almost a major EW factor. I dont think Id want to see him naked, its like my brother.lol

I would consider taking my best friend as my lover but this is a risky thing to do. Sometimes a good friend would not be a good lover. It takes alot of caurage to make such decision. But if I see similarities that show we both can get along, I will certainly consider him. On the other hand, to consider him back as a friend if things does not work is something I can never imagine of. A friend can be a lover but a lover cannot be a friend. Regards Thanusha

In my opinion, Freindship and love should never be with the same person. There is a 90% chance it won't work out. You can love your best friend in e friendly way but romance with him/her would really be awkward...romantic love is a lot more different than friendly love. your lover can always turn out to be a really good friend, but turning a friend into lover...not a good idea!
