When you need relationship advice, don’t you go to your best friend for that? Now, you will no longer be able to get that advice when you feel your relationship is in trouble. I know, you could always go online and get advice, but there’s nothing like getting it from a best friend – someone who knows all about you.

Who would you lose first – your partner or your best friend? I would say your partner. Best friends are there forever, unless you do something horrible. You will always have your best friend there, but the relationship with your partner could end.

Are you ready to date someone who knows everything about you? Even those embarrassing things? Even if they know you don’t know how to kiss? That you have a certain problem? Personally, this wouldn’t be a downfall for me, it’d be a relief knowing that the partner knows everything about you, but some girls don’t like this.

There you have 7 reasons not to date your best friend. If you want to date your best friend, then you should do so with caution. Think it through, first. So, have you ever dated your best friend?

    I’m so confused right now. I love my best friend. He’s my twin brother separated at birth (well, not really, but he might as well be). And although i’m not attracted to him or anything, ... See more he has had a romantic relationship with every other girl who has been his best friend, except for me. It’s insulting, and I feel like something is wrong with me. i don’t know what, though.

      Hey Lexie,
      Just a thought, I don’t mind if you don’t take it in consideration, but perhaps he sees you as more valuable as a friend and probably wouldn’t want to lose you if ... See more you became anything more. He might respect you more than any other friend he had previously dated. Or maybe you’ve just discovered that you might have feelings for him? and if you’re single (or have been for a long while) find yourself thinking that you may have been waiting for him?
      I hope this may help untangle your thoughts.

    sheila, i know it’s weird and the weirdest part was that we broke up when we stop being so best friend-ish… i guess we only worked if we were our best friends hahahaha

    This is so true.
    I dated my best friend, and afterwards I didn’t like the person i saw anymore.
    maybe it was a good thing, maybe i could of still had my best friend.

      Hey Abbey,
      I guess the thing about dating your best friend is that it is a risk at the end of the day and unfortunately, most often, it does not work out. Then there are ... See more a few times like in your case where it works out wonderfully! :)

      Well, it doesn’t always have to turn out that way, you are talking about only if it doesn’t work and maybe your experience wasn’t what u expected, but there’s always a risk and if you ... See more are not willing to take it then you’ll always stay in WHAT IF, so personally i would try, i am trying and everything is going out really well. Now, if it doesnt work, its no big deal, things happen because God wants it to happen… jUST MAKE SURE YOU FEEL SOMERTHING FOR THAT PERSON BEYOND FRIENDSHIP.
