Is it ever a good idea to date a friend?

Though I realize that friendship should be the basis of any relationship, is it ever a good idea to date a friend? A very good friend recently explained that he had feelings for me that go beyond the friendship we've established for the last few years. He's sweet, caring, and all those things that I would like in someone, but I don't think that I am attracted to him in that way. Maybe I am just being a little close-minded about this?

>>>Being attracted to the other person in a romantic kind of way is extremely important to a romantic relationship. Sure, they might be ALMOST everything you would want in a significant other, but I recommend not forcing something where there otherwise would not be anything. Sounds like the two of you would be better off as just friends.<<<
That's nonsense.
Isn't he good to you? Hasn't he been there for you? The LEAST you could do is pay him back by giving him a chance to be with you, even for a little bit.
