I dont think that this is always the case and sometimes it can be a bad thing to enter a relationship with your best friend as it can spoil things. Me and my girlfriend are partners but are also freinds we can have a great laugh and enjoy many things that we did before we dated.

you right i tried to tell my best friend how i felt about her and things did not turn out the way i expected. the whole friendship ended and she doesn't want to either see me or talk to me.

Well, I think that best friends do make a really good couple coz they have a lot of things in common and have the same aspirations and that above anything else, even if they become husband and wife, they remain best of friends for life.

i think agree with your father. friend is someone we know well and know us well too. i have some experiences about this. i alwayas date with my own friend: my classmate, my college friend or office mate. my husband was myg office mate whom i knew for some times before we then decided to have a date. i like people i know before to be my boufriend. i cant make relation with someone i never knew before. if i date my own friend i feel so comfortable cos we are friends before we're dating. this comfort feeling is important for me in building the relation. so your father is absolutely correct with his opinion. what about you, have you had a spouse? is she/he was your friend?

I agree with your father. That is the best way to start and hopefully have a good relationship. However I think it's best to do that when a person is older. Perhaps in their late twenties. That way both individuals know what they really want.

well i guess yes! it's good to fall inlove with your friends since you will not able to adjust yourself anymore,you are comfortable with each other and understands you the way you are,, but the worst part is, if your relationship wont work and your friendship will be lost..that would be a very difficult part.. so i hope you can find the perfect love that suits you well :D

when you started the relation as friend then become partner they the relation you will be building will be solid sometimes that's the good thing to have a partner that you knew well

Hi namusoke, Welcome to mylot and have a great time here, Thing is it totally depends on the person, like for myself, i have very few close friends and of them fewer are boys. But all of them are one and same for me i love them and still do in that neutral friendly way, i respect them and give them help and support as they do the favour for me. But if one of them proposes to me it would be totally weird for me because i dont think of them. but there are cases where friends have started dating each other and found the one true love they were looking for but having said that i dont think i can do that i mean i love them in my own way and that is it. I knw you get a lot of eyebrows raised especially when you are close with one of your friends who is of course in the opposite gender but that okay as long as you and your friends share true feelings for each other. Everything is fair in love and as well as friendship.

The foundation of being friends is the best thing to make the relationship work. Being friend made the two of you understand each other. A simple simple, a wink of an eye, or looks strange made the two of you communicates without uttering of words.

I agree with that... as a friends is always a caring and loving person. And since you know them you know what to expect from them.

Yes, true because you the person very well by the time you fall in love with him/her. You have known his/her, limitations and capabilties. You have known his/her likes and you have known already what will make her/his happy. But keep in mind that Friends can turn into lovers but lovers can't turn to friends. Very seldom it happens the lovers become friends after the relationship. 3/10 relationships don't turn that way.
