what happened?
what made you realize this?
what was their reaction did you even tell them?
do you think dating your friend would ruin your friend ship?
with me i told a guy i liked him, and he rejected me. what made me realize i liked him was it was the end of the year. i was like it about time to tell him were both heading off to high school. and everyone always teased us of liking eachother and i started to think we are pretty good together. we might as well be boyfriend and girlfriend. and i think dating him would ruin our friendship. but i'm willing to take that chance isn't that what love is all about.

I have a lot of friends before. but some how i felt i had to go distance from them and of course, left with out un notice. i had that feeling when i was still in college but i decided to forget it and move on. i dunno why but most of them misses me. thank god you have that courage, i don't think i can go on if i get rejected.

well i didn't think it was the end of my world it would be if i was a little older. but right now i'm old 16 so i don't find it that big of a deal he's still my friend and still makes me feel special every time i'm with him. so i'm ok it would be hard if after i told him he didn't want to be friends anymore.

I always believe that love starts with friendship. All of my romantic relationships started with us being friends. But I usually wait for the guy to be the one to tell me if he really likes me or if he has feelings for me. If not, then I just go on with my life, I don't want to be the one to tell the guy first and be rejected. If he doesn't say anything then I will just assume that he does not feel the same way that I do and we just stay friends.

Do you know what? I can't see my friends this way! I just can't! They are like brothers to me... And I think that a relationship with my friends would be awkard...:P And would ruin the beauty of the friendship. I had two friends that wanted to be more than friends with me... And I was really disappointed. Wondering if they were just my friends because they had another things on mind :( But I really understand and don't get disappointed when a person fall in love after and not before being friends. Because we can't crontol our heart.

Well. The friend that I wanted to be more than my friend is today my wife and mother to our one year old son. I took the chance too and I was lucky that my gamble paid off. Relationship and love is all about taking chances. So is marriage.

I have been in that situation once. We met at work and so we see each other every day. I was really attracted to him but I never pursued anything. I'm not sure if it was because I thought it would ruin our friendship or not. But, if I did tell him how I felt and he rejected me, I don't think it would have changed anything between us. We knew each other for a while and had a good relationship so I don't think it woulda been different. But I guess I'll never know now if we woulda I a good couple or not . o

Yeah i have been there i really like this girl but she is like my freind and im afraid if i ask her out ill lose her completely it really sucks. God im so obessed with her but well i guess it will never be. Because i was right i did ask her out and now she wants nothing to do with me. so i mean its like whatever right. the past is the past so i might as well just let it be the past.

Spending a lot of time with same person and thinking about him always makes you more near to him/ her mentally. Getting in to relationship is not individual decision. You should know what that person thinks about you first. It will hurt you if you the only person like/ love him and he do not have such feelings for you. One sided love will give you nothing at the end if you thinking about long term relationship then.

For me there have been a few friendships which I have turned into relationships and once they turn out to be over with I tend to lose friendships but after a year or two we're able to mend the seams and fix that friendship but of course it is never the same.
I wouldn't recommend never make relationships out of friendships but I would be extremely cautious when it comes to doing so. For most relationships jumping into it doesn't seem too irrational but for this I would believe that it is. I would take a ton of time and just evaluate how things are going before making a move.
