will you gamble friendship for love?

I have tried this situation out before when a friend courted me. We do have strong feelings for each other so we decided to try it out but when things got sour so did the friendship and from then on, even if we tried so hard, we have lost both - the friendship and the love. My advise is if you are willing to take the risk because you know that you can endure the pain because of the possibility of you losing both - friend and lover - then go ahead. Just a warning: Be very careful.

my best friend is a girl and we have bin best frieds for over 3 years and one day she told me that she wanted to be with me, because we get on so well together and like all the same things and have same sense of humor i said ok we will give it a go a long as if we dont get on as loverscan we still be best friends just like we are now and she said ok thats a deal. so we went out and went on dates and everything was fine but i ended it with her not because i did not like her or she had done anything but because i was stupid for some unknown reason, and we are still best friends now

No, I would not gamble friendship over love. In friendship I can possibly have a growing love that will end to a better one. Our friendship may last long without any conditions. But, IF I prefer love over friendship. I may not find a right person to love me. But, at least, I have a nice friendship with somebody who really do care for me. Being and accepting as me.
