There are a lot of people who have different sex best friends ... was was just wondering, how many of you have/would date your best friend. I've been in a crazy little turmoil over it for about two years now ... and I personally desided I liked just being friends better. Does anyone have any cute stories? I'd really like to know if anyone can ever make it really work.
I'm bored ... and there wasn't anything about this on here. :)

Well this is a tricky situation, because if you get into that relationship with your best friend and you break it off and they maybe still have those feelings, the friendship is damaged and possibly ruined forever. If a friendship is strong enough you can go on being friends if its handled correctly, for example, One of my best friends who is a female and I went out briefly, but we could tell it was doomed from the start. Conflicts arose between not only us but friends of ours who didnt believe we shouldnt be together. But we felt so much for each other and I can honestly say I did truly Love her. But unfortantly for us the Beatles were wrong and love wasn't enough. Hard enough we had to let go, but I can proudly say we are still great friends today, I know I can rely on her for anything and she can for me. She is now happily with someone and most likely will get married to him. I honestly am so grateful to have known and to have been able to have that experience with her and still be what we are today. So its possible you just need to be open minded as well as the other person must be.
Now if you think that you and a best friend could hook up and still be great friends I can vouch for that and say Yes you can. I have with a good friend of mine and we are still as close as ever, you just need to establish before you do that its just for fun and not anything too serious.
Anywho sorry for the long post.

Dating my best friend would be like dating my sister
me and this one girl were best friends since like 10th grade. talked on teh phone every day and shit. and we always liked each other when the other person wouldn't (ie i'd want to be with her and she'd liek someone else .. and then it'd switch) so .. after like 4 years of this shit .. she finally decided to break my heart for good and now we rarely talk and she still wants me to call / text message her every day even though we have like nothing in common .. but it's not bad anymore because she spends her time with her boyfriend and i spent mine with mary jane ..

I have a story a lot like Steveo's too. . .me and this girl were best friends for years before stuff happened between us, then she absolutely destroyed me, and now she expects me to try as hard as I can to make sure we're friends again. It can't happen, at least not to the level of friendship we were before.
However, I do have a somewhat happier story. I'm in love with a girl who was one of my best friends before we ever started dating or anything. . . I've liked her off and on for like the past two years, and finally I convinced her to just give a relationship a try. . .and it was the best thing that's ever happened to both of us as far as I can tell. I am so in love with her I can't stand being away from her, and the next four years are going to be four of the hardest years of my life. It's crazy though, because if we never would have taken the chance of maybe screwing things up, I never would have had something so incredible. . .
You just have to weigh the risks. I've had it both ways, both shitty and incredible, but the one thing I know for sure is everything is worth what I have now.

You gotta weigh all the pros and cons of going for a best friend. Sometimes, you just have to get out all that sexual tension, and if they happen to be the one you trust most with your emotions/feelings yadda yadda yadda, then why not ;)

i don't know if this will help but i've got a story too so....here it is:
me and this one girl were pretty good friends, and then i told her that i liked her more than as just a friend. apparently she didn't, and it wasn't really the same after that, we don't talk much anymore.
i hope u can find at least some advice from that story, i sure as hell didn't...

09/29/03, 06:52 PM
well i guess i have to tell my story...
we have been friends for over 7 years now but it has had rough times... she asked me out in year 9 (5 years ago) but i didnt like her like that and i thought i never would. so i denied her. things were weird but that soon dissapated. late year 10 she asked me again and soon my mates were playin pranks on me about her (writin 'letters' from her) and thenshe may have sabotaged my advances with one of her best friends. then around our formal last year (year 12) i was a lil depressed and then it dawned on me that i should have gone out with her and i rang her up. luckily i didnt fess up and we are still friends now... i got a letter from her today sayin how she hasnt taken off the necklace i got for her 18th!!!
everything can work out fine!

you'll probably either get married, or end up not talking to each other ever again. it's usually very hard to find any middle ground with these kind of things.
All of my best friends are girls, so no. And I don't know if I'd even date my best friend if it was a guy since I wouldn't want to ruin the friendship if we ever broke up and it got weird.

Somebody once told me that there's no such things as a strictly platonic friendship. I disagreed until I started looking more into my friendships. The only platonic friendship I have ever had comes from a guy I grew up with, I consider him more of a brother than I consider my actual sister, a sister.
Look at your friendship now. In my opinion, that's the best it's ever going to be. Everything changes when you either get a boyfriend or he gets a girlfriend, and I'll bet that it's happened in 2 years. Some people make it work, but the majority, the friendship falls apart. After 2 years, you should have no doubt in your mind if you wanted to be with this person. That's just my .02 though.

There was a friend of ours, not a best friend and I fancied her and when I told her I was gay she went and blabbed it to someone and then I told her that I liked her (after I realised I didn't fancy her anymore) and it went awkward after that, and she spread that I asked her for cyber sex.
So, I don't think I'd ever date a best friend/normal friend because if it didn't work out, it would ruin your friendship and rumours would be spread after and it would be insanely awkward. But, I guess at the same time it would be better to be friends with someone before you date them so I guess in a way I would as well. Depends what they were like really.

If you have an opposite sex best friend and ever plan on getting married, that best friend probably won't be your best friend any longer. Most spouses kind of want to be your best friend, they don't want you running off to someone else every time you need to talk about things.
I figure whoever I marry is going to be my best friend at that point anyway, so might as well date a best friend and get there a lot faster.
Well, except my best friend is a guy right now and I'm not gay, so... yeah.
I'm dating my best friend.
I'm glad.
We talk about everything, every night, completely comfortable with anything we say.

I have had only female best friends since i was little. I feel most secure and comfortable around girls, well except for this one guy. Friends will be friends until/if something happens that affects the both of you. I don't see why not you have that impression of opposite sex friendships.

I'm talking about when you get married. To a female. You think you will stay best friends with some other female?
That would be the quickest path to divorce.

I wouldn't date my best friend of the opposite sex. I'm the one telling him he needs to quit going for all of his friends because it's not wokring for him.
If you're going to marry someone, hopefully they understand that you are just friends with other girls or guys. I don't think people should tell their husband or wife that they can't be friends with someone anymore.

But I'm not talking about getting married and staying in general contact with some friends of the opposite sex. I'm talking about people who think they can get married and still remain BEST FRIENDS with someone else of the opposite sex.
You simply cannot ask a spouse to be your second best friend of the opposite sex. That shit will NOT fly in a marraige. Your spouse pretty much has to be your best friend of the opposite sex, and actually probably should be your best friend period.

Why are you making difference of opposite and same sex friendships? You think that my wife would be jealous of my female best friend? But what if I was bisexual. Wouldn't she be jealous of my male friends aswell? Think hard...

Because there is a difference. Go check out the what should I do if my female friend shows her boobs thread I made, pretty much all the guys are like HELL YEAH I'D LOOK. You know why? Because no matter how "mutual" a friendship is, if you are a straight guy and she is a girl, there is *some* sexual attraction. I doubt many guys would get too worked up over their guy friends showing their cocks.
And yes, I think your wife would be insanely jealous if your BEST FRIEND was some other chick. Think about what best friend actually means. You think a wife would be happy being second best? You are insane.
Then again, our divorce rate is over 50% now. I wonder why? Maybe because people are not used to actually giving their life to another human being nowadays. They sort of want a spouse to just be just another person of many in their life. That isn't how a successful marraige works. It works when TWO BECOME ONE. You know what I mean? You give your life to another person and create your entire world around them. There is no room in that equation for a best friend of the opposite sex.
I'm not exactly sure how a bisexual would approach this, but I'd say that yeah, his wife probably would be jealous if he had a guy best friend. Most spouses want to be number one in the person they marry's life. And by most I mean all.

I have been best friends with this girl for 10 years. She has always liked me more than a friend but she was always like a sister to me. About a year ago I decided to give it a shot and date her. Its very hard because I am not sexually atracted to her, but my family loves her and she is my best friend. I broke things off after 3 months, and then about 4 months later we tried again, and once again I just didnt feel it so I broke it off again. We decided that we should just be best friends but a month ago she kissed me after a night of drinking and now we are trying things again. I dont know if its a good idea because she says she is in love with me but I dont feel the same way. I want to, and I think maybe I could down the road, but is it a road that I should even risk going down again? If it doesnt work this time I will loose her as a friend and a lot of people will loose respect for me for hurting her for the 3rd time in a year. Anybody have any advice?

My story started off pretty cute: we were best friends for 5 years, and I told him I was in love with him at my senior prom. We started dating, got engaged, got a puppy... it was really the best thing ever. There are a lot of perks to dating your best friend - this is the person who knows you best, you know what each other likes and doesn't, all you seem to do is laugh...
Then, I transferred from my college back home (for other reasons), and we were looking for an apartment, and I thought everything was great... Except unfortunately my best friend/fiancee turned out to be kind of a douchebag and cheated on me with one of my friends. At that point, I didn't just lose my boyfriend, I lost everything... I felt I had no one to talk to, since he was the one hurting me.
I don't regret dating him, and I'm definitely over him, but I miss him a lot. The juice had better be worth the squeeze if you're going to do that.
(oh but I wound up on top in my situation for a myriad of reasons, most of all because I kept the dog and he's the shit)

My story is similar to many of the other people who posted in this thread:
I had liked this girl in like 7th grade but I never really talked to her. Then in 9th grade I got her AIM screen name and started talking to her. She and my best friend at the time ended up hooking up, but I was happy for them. I eventually got my own gf but I still had secretly still liked this girl. Well since I hungout with my best friend so much, she and I got to know each other more. After they had broken up, she and I had ended up really good friends. For the next 2-3 years, we had hung out all the time. In the summer of 2006, I had told her that I liked her, and she had told me she had liked me. It eventually got really physical and then in March she decided to break things off. I was devestated but we both thought we could still be good friends. That wasn't the case at all. She ended up saying she didn't want to be my friend anymore, and that she didn't want to talk to me again. I said fine, and we haven't talked since then. I still see her at school, and whenever I'm with my gf it seems like shes staring at us. I think it's a little creepy, but my gf thinks she regrets everything that was said.

That would be the quickest path to divorce.
Most of my close friends are guys, so whomever I marry will have be okay with them, or he won't get married. I agree that opposite sex friendships are different than same sex ones, but I also want to have nothing to do with someone who's not going to be able to deal with my guys. They're the ones who are there for me when other guys hurt me, they're the ones at my house playing rock band till 3 am, and making sure I get home okay when I drank too much. They're the one's I'm planing on moving in with in a couple of months. So any guy I get involved with should be psyched to get three new friends, along with a kickass girlfriend.

I'm dating my best friend right now...although he wasn't exactly my best friend before we started dating...kinda.
We met and started dating, dated for a year, then broke it off. Over the years we still maintained deep feelings for each other, but didn't get back together. To satisfy our feelings, we developed this truly amazing friendship.
We eventually decided to get back together, and have been together for over a year now and it's seriously the most amazing thing in the world.
I do agree that if I were to lose him, it would be absolutely devestating because I would not only be losing love, but also my best friend, although the inability to foresee us ever parting due to the sheer mutual desire to remain together makes it seem worth it.

*Warning: this will be long.* Well I have had many best friends throughout my life, and they would all always end up abandoning me. In 11th grade though, I met this awesome dude at my new school. I transferred out of my public school into a charter school for performing arts that year, and it was awesome because it was the first year for that school, so everyone was the new kid and we were all like the "pioneers" of or classes... but anyways, getting back on track.
I met this great guy who was all pierced up and I just thought he looked amazing, but I had a boyfriend already, so we just started out as friends. Throughout the year we were both in and out of relationships with other people, but we were always hanging out and confiding in each other about life and love and what not. We really became good friends, and eventually we were inseperable. Even when he had other girlfriends, he was coming to me, rather than his guy friends, for advice when he felt like he wasn't digging his flavor of the week girl. I eventually got out of my LTR with my 1st BF, so I was not trying to find any rebound action. Throughout the whole school year our friends were like "Oh you guys are going to eventually get together" and everyone had bets going for when we would finally realize that we actually liked each other in a more than friends sense. By the end of the school year, I had already realized that I was growing feelings for this boy, and one night he begged me to come over to his house and spend the night rather than go out on a date with this boy I liked at the time. So being the dumbass that I was, I'm like, okay, whatever. That night he told me exactly how he felt about me and how he wanted to break up with his current girlfriend (it was all downhill anyways, she wasn't even allowed to date and was being shipped back to FL bc her psycho aunt found out she was dating..lol) so that he could be with me. Well I figured he would just be my summer fling (because he was more of an on-off kind of guy). So basically, I just wanted to get some because he's fricking hot, and I was not in the mood to have anything long term.
3 years later, we've moved across country together, and we're engaged and are planning on finally tying the knot next summer.... my best friend turned out to be the love of my life and my soul mate...... uggghh mushy.

I know this allll to well. The short of it is... I knew this girl but didn't really know her. When I was a Senior in HS, she was a sophmore. I ended up in a class together with her. A few months went by and we became great friends, dear I say best friends. And we flirited like crazy (and everyone knew we were in to eachother) and talked about going out but she had a boyfriend. She thought of one my good friends was hot and use to joke about doing him. And he only liked her because I told him she'd joke like that. They ended up dating. It crushed me. I didn't talk to her and handled it like an inmature bitch.
Eventully a couple weeks went by we started talking again. She realized she wasn't with him for the right reasons and he wasn't right for her. She broke up with him. We were kind of together (and closer than ever) and then summer came and I graduated.
We keep in touch for a little while afterwards but then we stoped talking. Eventully I saw her at Warped Tour and ingored her because she had blew off a date we were suppose to go on. And I hadn't heard from her in like a month and a half. Eventully I apoligzed via MySpace (lame.com, I know) and then she came in to my work one day and after that things were great. We were together for like two months. Then all of a sudden, she ended it (via MySpace) and a couple weeks later dated another guy. I only saw her and talked to her to arrange getting my stuff she still had.
Then May of this year came. I saw her at another show, which I knew I was going to because it was her favorite band. At this time I'm trying to figure out how to handle if I do. Well I did and she waved me over. And said "I've wanted to talk to you for a while now." And grabbed me and wouldn't let go. She was breaking up with her boyfriend and would later go on to tell me how I was the best thing she ever had, I make her happier/feel better than anyone ever has, I make her a better person, ect ect). So she broke up with him and from what I got out of her it was quite justified but who knows. So we were together but taking things very slow because we both said this time it was going to work and had to. I told her I loved her for the first time this time. And she's the only girl I've ever said it to as well. She calimed she felt the same way.
Well, she went back to school and guess were we are now?

The only platonic friendship I have ever had comes from a guy I grew up with, I consider him more of a brother than I consider my actual sister, a sister.
I was just talking to a female friend about how silly it is that girl's think of guy friends like brothers.
Mostly because the guy's probably think about fucking them a lot. And that'd be creepy incest if they were a brother.

really the answer to this whole should i go out with my bff of the opposite sex question is that it depends on the people involved. If your bff of the opposite sex turns out to be a little bitch that holds grudges and has more estrogen than you then DONT DATE EM

I dated my best friend for a long time. And then I realized just how bad of a friend she was. So in a way it was a good thing for me, but sometimes I wonder if things would have been better if I'd remained ignorant of a lot of her shortcomings.

I dated my best friend and now, we don't talk or anything. Most of the time, I'm a bitch to him since in his opinion, I am a bitch. But sometimes, we smile to one another and I actually said Happy New Year to him this year.
:-|
So maybe, we can be friends again. Later on in life. When this stupid bullshit that ruined our friendship/relationship 2 years ago will be overlooked by us/our friends/our families.
But you don't have to even listen to me since you might think I'm just a stupid naive 14year old, which I can be at times.
Oh well.
:rolleyes:

People act very different in friendships versus relationships.
Both my best friends (girls) are the most relaxed, laid-back girls, not high maintenance or haughty at all. But when I see the way they act around their boyfriends, I am shocked! Constantly whining; asking for things; getting angry over the silliest little occurrences.
If you have a friendship with someone first, it will ease you into knowing them. As long as you make sure you remember what it was like as friends, you can always go back to being just that if it doesn't work out. As long as no cheating or lying takes place, of course - As if that could ever happen ;)
Dating is dating and it's a gamble. Friendship is something you want to keep forever. Just because you start dating someone doesn't cancel out the friendship you had before, it's simply a whole new ball game.
