It has never been so wrong falling for a friend. The only thing there is that, it's so hard to lose someone dear to you. Falling for a friend is just but normal. But then again, we have to take into considarations the consequencesthat might occur upon such. There are even lots of questions to consider... 1. Would it really work? 2. Would the friendship stay as is if ever? Of course those are just some questions. Though it's never been so wrong, it's really hard to fall for a friend for we don't really know what would happen right? You might lose her (assuming) for just a snap right?

Well, first of all, falling for a friend wouldn't have any serious implications if the friend falls for you too. Problems will start to emerge if the love is one-sided. It is really hard for a friend to ignore the fact that his/her friend have feelings for him/her. Therefore, it's best that when you love a person, you should just straightaway tell her/him you like her and not try to become friends in hope that she/he would fall for you. Bad strategy.

no it's not wrong.. you dont have to blame yourself if your heart lovs the wrong person.. we cant choose who to love.. it just happens without us knowing how or why.. i had an experience before i fell for my friend.. but after that, im glad that we still remained as friends..

I dont think there are any problem to fall for a friend, but I think most people will think that if something happen, it's hard to go back to be good friend as before. so some prefer friendship forever even if they have feeling for the other one.

The thing is, Do you really value your friendship? If you do, why would you want to change it because if things dont work out, you've probably lost a friend. I know that in my case, my friends know more about me then I would be willing to tell someone that I'm dating(at least at first) and that could make things kind of weird at times. Tianna

most of the times, once you date a friend and break up, the things between you 2 won't be the same.

i doont think there is a problem falling for a friend. the problem would be if your friend does not fall for you and you expect him too, or at least you try to win his heart. it will be awkward and may put a barrier between your purchases.

I've been in this situation a lot of times before but because of my fear of losing our friendship, I resorted to keeping my feelings for my friend a secret. To be more specific, my male friend during my college days had a girlfriend who was also my friend. I knew I felt something for him but I kept quiet as I don't want to ruin their relationship and also lose our friendship. I really don't know if that was the right thing to do, but after more than a year, he confided to me that he meant to court me but he was hesitant because he doesn't want to ruin our friendship. Even at that certain moment, I seem to have lost the courage to tell him that I felt the same way for him. I believe that falling in love isn't entirely wrong, even if it happens that you're inlove with your friend. But no matter what your decision is, you should be ready to face the consequences of your actions. In my case, I prepared myself to be hurt everytime I see him with another girl. We're still friends until now after more than a decade but we rarely talk because we have our separate lives to lead now. But sometimes, I catch myself wondering if things weren't how they happened and we ended up with each others arms, would I be happier with him? I really can't answer it for myself.

I have fallen for a friend a couple times and sometimes it worked alright, and other times it didn't. I think someone would want to be friends and stay that way to not ruin things, or because one feels one way and another feels another way. My boyfriend right now was a friend before we started dating and it's the best thing. We already knew a lot of different things about each other that it would take along time to learn. We were already closer and can only get closer.

it's not wrong. All relationships starts with friendships.
