should i give it a try?
| Thu, 08-10-2006 - 8:50pm |
hello everyone! i've posted on other message boards about this topic but i'm hoping someone can give me some advice. one of my best friends is a guy. we have been friends for 2 years. he's everything i ask for in a friend. i have a wonderful time with him. he always makes me laugh. we love the same things and have the same goals. well lately things have been happening b/w us. he told me he loves me and wants to be with me.he has said that he thinks i'm the one. he said in the beginning of our friendship he had no feelings like that but as time went on he realized how much he liked me. at first i didn't feel the same. i wasn't even sure if i was attracted to him. now things are changing. i find him very attractive and i even think i'm falling in love with him. i'm worried that i'm only feeling this way because i've been alone for awhile but when i think about being with him it makes me very happy. i even think about marrying him! i've never had a relationship like this or gone into one in this situation. all my other boyfriends there has been an instant attraction and then things progress from there. it's weird to think that my best friend could be the one but at the same time it makes sense. i love spending time with him, he makes me laugh and he has every quality that i look for in a guy and more. what should i do? should i try a relationship or not? has anyone been in this situation before?

Pianoguy's 2 cents...for whatever they're worth!
Just because you've had a terrific 2-year friendship...what's wrong with dating each other for awhile before you reach a "life decision?"
This way you'll get to see if his "good and bad sides" are qualities you want to accept on a LONG-TERM basis?
It's entirely possible that you're tired of BEING ALONE and that you're ready to share your life with someone who acts like he loves you? But before you run off and pick out wedding bands...ask yourself (honestly) if you're capable of relinquishing your singleness (not to mention "sharing the bathroom") in exchange for a lifetime partner?
Assuming he's not pressing you for a decision by Labor Day...TAKE YOUR TIME!
Best wishes and warm thoughts...
