Question: Do you think it is wise for bestfriends (male & female ) of 10+ years to venture into a serious relationship? Do you think they should risk their friendship and try to be committed to each other?
I really want to know what ya think!

Well speaking from experience.
I wouldn't do it again. I thought it was going to be the best thing b/c we both know each other for so long, were best friends etc. But the moment it switched up and we became an "item" the shite changed. He wasn't my best friend he handled me like some chick off the street and i cut it loose fast. Now he realizes his mistake and wants to work it out. I don't even want him as a friend.

I mean I look it from 2 angles... You can either say to yuhself live life and do it, you never know what may happen! Or be cautious and not do it, because sometimes these friendships would switch up on you and you want to know "WHAT HELL HAPPEN?" DO what you feel!

I hear you, never thought about it like that

Yeah, it could happen!

All well and good, but what about if he is not for it! how do you get over the embarassment?

Well, if you tek the chance... doh look at it as an embarassment but more as an experience! Trust me I learned these things the hard way, and juss had to smile and move on. I don't talk to my friend of 8 years anymore and that's because he took a chance to develop the relationship to something more and it didn't work...yes I miss him terribly but if it's meant for us to meet again, then we will. Otherwise I wish him all the happiness in the world...
There are many relationships that I wish I never took risks with, but I did and I'm not embarassed, but allow the fact that it happened and IT IS WHAT IT IS!! :)

Life is a learning process... Hopefully he would see it like that as well

If she looks good i gine foop her

Of course you would dragon! But what about de friendship? Suppose tings doh work out! Then what

DITTO....

Tek a chance but kno you will neva hav the same friendship again

its a risk either way...u could not pursue it and it could have been something great...or u could and it not work out....never know unless you try.
as long as he's on the same page as you, and you think its worth it, why not go for it....but just know the chance is there that the friendship may never be the same.....

To be honest it is the chance taking part that is frightening.... I know this person reeeeeaaaaaaal long. We are extremely cool, but I know they do not have a clue

do you two want to be together or is it one sided?
