Do you think best friends can be best lovers? What are the pros and cons? I can think of so many reasons, but I wanna hear it from you guys.

Your lover, the person you want to be with and spend your time with should be your best friend. You need to be able to be yourself and not have to worry what the other person is thinking because they love you for who you are not who they think you are. The down fall is if it does not work out is that you very well might end up losing your best freind. Sometimes that is the chance you take.

hello damned_dle! i think there is a great probability that best friends can be best lovers. However, this would not always be the case for most couples or best friends. One of the advantages to this relationship is the fact that you are already familiar with each other, you know each other well and may even know the quirks of each one which others might have no inkling of. On the other hand, i can't think of any cons to this setup, lol..

bf to LV - it happens, not every one
Hello Damned_Idle, Nothing is impossible. sure we can debate about it all day but the fact remain is that as long as it is a secret, it wouldn't be much of a trouble. some best friends turned into lovers but it does take a long time and some people even wait for such time to happen.besides, it's a lot more romantic if some one you knew your life to become part of your life.

It depends if all circumstances are right then you could have an almost perfect relationship. What better way to spend time with someone whom you can you can talk with almost everything under the sun. Someone whom you share so much in common. The only con that I can think of is when one of the parties involved don't share the feeling since chances are it will ruin the whole friendship. More often, one of the parties would feel betrayed ones the other proposes to raise the relationship to another level. Others may pretend that they're OK but once trust is broken it's so hard to repair.

I think it's possible as it has the advantage of them knowing each other already. I think it would be a start of a great relationship. But of course there are cons, like getting bored with one another or just having difficulties with the transition from a best friend to a lover. But I think the pros outweigh the cons on this one. But maybe it's because I'm a bit biased as I married my best friend. And I'm happy with my relationship.

well i think thats true that best friends can be the best lovers cause they already knew each other so well...but you know what guys i have something i truly agreeing on..that a friend's love is much better than a lover cause a lover may leave but a true friend will stay..a lover could demand but a friend would help...a true friend can love you more that a lover could do...agree???

A very difficult balance to maintain. I think if people like each other and got to know each other, they can have a very close love relationship too. But that is if the love is more or less evenly matched and they stay honest - as best friends should be - with each other. Otherwise, when it goes bad, you lose a lover AND a friend - two people in one go.

I don´t know why it couldn´t be. The ideal relation is having a lover who is also your friend and with whom you can talk and show you as you are. It doesn´t matter whether the relation starts by being friends or lovers.

Yes I think best friends may be best lovers. Because most of the thinks are depend upon us. How treat you with your best friends. In most of the cases before love best friendship is there. If friendship is in between girl and boy then it is possible

It could happen, I don't see why not. The only reason why I would never date one of my best friends again is (well, besides that I'm already in a relationship) because I already have dated my best guy friend before, and it just didn't work out. We went out for almost 2 years, but we had a really bad breakup, and now I refuse to even talk to the guy, since he ended up using me and whatnot. Anyway, dating your best friend can either be a wonderful thing or end up being a really big mistake...but that's how it is with pretty much all relationships.

Yes i think can. Pros. Friends know each other and know what like or don't like other person. They can trust each other. But people ar different. Cons. Some people don't like if lover know intimate or personal things, because they think that the report only to a friend.
