I have some friends who have same problems and they ask for my advices all the time... they ask if friendship is important than love? if your in a situation that you happen to fell in love with your bestfriend would you be honest to her/him? even though you will risk your friendship or just hide it all the time so you wont risk your friendship at all.. what you think is the best?

i really hurts but i don't want to lose the friendship. I think i will be stick to the friendship. if you fall in love with your bestfriend, the friendship takes the risk because you will try to love. i think i will depends on what you really feel and him too. but i will just keep it to myself, although it hurts, i have to accept it, because i don't want to lose the friendship.

Well i'll say both are extremely important . love is something that is always there for you , in stress , in happiness , in grief and sorrow and in joys and in highs and lows , but only a partner is like a life aloof from the world , you need to be having a good social circle so friends are as necessary as love .

well.. no contest.. friendship goes first. friendship does not require that much commitment. you can be whatever you want to be. love is in a much higher level and requires more than just honesty and commitment. my wife was my bestfriend before. and since she knows so much about me, i don't have any problem with her not trusting me. my ex (before my wife) was also my bestfriend. but she cheated on me (with 2 guys! darn!) so i let her go. i've already forgiven her but i can't give her back the trust that was already lost.

it's hard no to fall for a best friend since you know each other too well. someone who understands you and knows how you feel. but it should vice versa. you should know what your best friend thinks about you. you would know what he/she likes in a more than friends relationship. if you think you would pass, then go for it! hehehe! you would also know if he/she is the type of person who doesn't want to cross the lover-best friend line. be happy with what you share right now. strengthen the friendship. everything will fall into place. if you're that close, have a "deal", when you both reach forty and you both don't have anyone, get together and try a deeper relationship, better yet get married. hehehe! this will help you survive this point of your life and eventually figure out if it's really something more than friendship.
