if that is so, how is a bestfriend any different from someone who is not your bestfriend??? That is a very poor logic in the first place about why people dont date friends. I mean, if you are saying that your friend might be a murderer or something, how much more of a murderer if it is somebody whom you dont know really well??? And plus, if you think that dating ruins friendships because you are afraid that your friend might be a murderer, WHY ARE YOU FRIENDS WITH YOUR FRIEND in the first place? |

You just have to care for the relationship with caution. Instead of losing a boyfriend, you might be losing a life-long friend.

Bring on the guy I've known for an hour!
if you have a bestfriend of the opposite sex, why is it not nice to date him/her? besides, it is much more cool and very pleasant because you could get to hang out without being awkward and without feeling some kind of fear that this person might be a killer, a druggist or a maniac. |

Anyways, yes, you can have friendships like that as well.
why not Celtic? After all, isnt it nice to date your bestfriend knowing you and that guy already know each other a lot? Would you rather date someone you knew for about an hour than a bestfriend whom you have known for several years? I think it is safe and nice and really cool to date your bestfriend, not that this applies to all who have best friends of the opposite sex, but at least, you could get to think cleary and to feel safe and loved with YOUR bestfriend than with someone you havent known for a long time. |

Most of my friends are guys. I've fallen for two of them and ended up dating them. I think guys and girls can be friends without second thoughts. I had many friends that I have never even considered dating. I go to a few of them for relationship advice even. Sometimes people are too close to take it a step further. Alot of "the guys" are just my friend, heck half the time I even considered male in their midst. LOL Well anyways Yes I believe it is possible.
Hope for the best and expect the worst............take whatever life throws at you...

Yes guys and "Gurls" can be friends, but many times attraction is part of an equation that involves time spent together, so eventually one or the other may end up feeling attraction. When it comes to intimacy, I have seen that many girls will go after a guy "friend" when they are single or want to get back at a boyfriend that cheated on them, and many guys have no qualms about sleeping with their "gurl" friends, often they have been waiting a long time to do so and may have been friends only for that reason, which sucks. That being said, if you are really friends with somebody and you want to keep it that way, you should definitely not sleep with them, as this tends to complicate matters. It is hard to be friends with someone you are attracted to because that person will often consult you for relationship advice and it's hard to be objective when you want to scream "dump that loser and date me, damnit!".

Of course, why not? One of my best friends is a guy, and my boyfriend knows that the two of us are just friends, and I would never think of him as anything more. We talk on the phone, go to the mall with my other friends... that kind of stuff.
Do approach the situation with caution, but as long as the two of you are both clear on what "just friends" means, you should be fine.
