i know what you're feeling, because im in the same place in my life too; however i am not in a relationship. i love my best friend very much, he is my world and i know that he loves me because we have had that discussion. u shouldnt be afraid to enter into a relationship with your best friend, because the best thing to have in a relationship other than good communication, trust, and loyalty is being a best friend to that person and vice versa. however if the relationship does not work and u guys are truly best friends the friendship will survive. right now u are cheating the person your with by having your heart somewhere else, that is certainly very unfair to him especially if he loves u very must and treats u like you're his world. whatever you decide to do, i hope it works out for you.

now that makes it even worst because you know your heart belonged to someone else before you got into your current relationship. things are serious now and whatever you do someone will get hurt. however i understand what your sayng to a certain degree and thats why i'm single right now. i made the conscious decision not to get involved with anyone because my heart belongs to my best friend. my best advice to you is to be honest to yourself and your boyfriend because if you don't you could lose yourself which will hurt your and of course him too.

thanks, I know it is not fair to the one I'm with but at the same time I feel torn betwwen the two... This is my mans first serious relationship and I'm the first one he ever brought home to meet his mom and dad, and all of this is a first for him and I'm afraid that if I leave him I will permanantly damage his heart. I also have to add that I was in love with my best friend before I met my current man.

I do have the same experience as I happend to like my best friend very much and wish to be with her for relationship but just can't make it might be cause of our relationship been too closed and we can't find the feel as a lover:(

I believe you can always find that passion in your heart for eachother because best friends share a bond like no other.

I think that if you really care for your friend, you have to somehow make a decision on just which one you want to be with...life is too short to not be with a person you are feeling...also, its not fair to the dude you are with to be with him and you know you would rather be with your friend..I just hope the friend is single..

yea everybody's tryin so hard to get a response that no one is talking about anything relative. So do you have topics on here, and what are they about? YOu're 24? I'm older than you by a year and you're giving me advice, thats hilarious. So how do you know so much?

It had happened once with me. I got involved with one of colleague and it became difficult to manage both at home and in office. Finally I had to quit job to get out of it. Now I am peaceful. Chnage of place also mattered a lot.

wow, thats deep being in love with someone who's not only a friend but a co-worker as well, that's a tough one. Glad you have your piece of mind once again.

Yes, I really felt, experienced and got into the relationship of marriage with my dear best friend. A true best friendship will many times turn out into marriage.
• United States
25 Oct 06
did the marriage last? I ask because my best friend and I are afraid that if we do cross that line and it doesn't work out that we'll not only lose eachother relationship wise but we're afraid we'll lose the friendship we started off with.

Its really great to have your best friend and lover at once:)

yes I do, a very serious one indeed. My body is here but my heart is somewhere else and I feel guilty for even thinking of another man but then again you cant help what you feel.

my best friend is my GF..........!!!!!
• United States
26 Oct 06
thats the general direction of my heart because thats where he (my best friend) lives. So my best friend might end up being my bf but thats a very big might, because I've loved him so long that we are both scared to take that step both because of my situation and because we don't want to lose the connection we already have.

thank you sooo much for the insight. Me and my best friend are just like that the same way you described except for I told him how I felt and found out he has the same feelings... MY problem is I know someone will get hurt and I don't know who its gonna be.
