Your best friend in the whole world might be a member of the opposite sex. You might be so comfortable around each other that you feel like you can truly be yourself. Although you might not have expected it, you may be starting to wonder what it would be like to date him or her. No matter what you do, dont do it! Dont even think about it! When you express romantic feelings to a friend, you are likely making a huge mistake. Unless your feelings are so strong that there is no way you can deny them, there is no reason to think that your little crush should be expressed. Many times people might think they want to date their friends because everyone thinks their own friends are great. But just because you think they are a great friend, doesnt mean it would work out the same way if you were in a relationship. The worst part about dating a friend is when it doesnt work out, and it rarely does. Once you have crossed that line, things can never go back to being the same as they once were. You will likely always feel jealous when your friend dates other people. Your confused feelings will not allow your friendship to be innocent and fun like it was before. So, to be on the safe side, be sure not to date friends. |
