Does anyone here been in love with a bestfriend? Me, I don't have a guy bestfriend and I don't think I can fall inlove with him, for me a friend is a friend and most of my male friend doesn't appeal to me. But maybe if he is the man I am looking for, maybe I could fall inlove with him. How 'bout you guys?

I have never fallen in love with my best friend. I could not even say that i really had a friend that is the best among the rest. I have been through a lot and a lot of people has abandoned me (or that is what i think)... so I'd say i have never really considered anyone my best friend now. I'm more used to just dealing with life's issues alone...

Oh, but it is still better if you have close friend you can hang out with and talk to from time to time. I also don't have male close friend, more of classmates and acquaintance so I think I will not fall in love with them,my bf and I were started out as just friends, like texting each other for a short period of time until he courted me and I fall in love with him too. Now we have sweet moments and we also have like friends moments.

I have never been in love with my best friend, but I have fallen for a guy friend of mine. In fact, I am dating him right now. :D He is one of the nicest boys you will ever meet, you can ask anyone at school or any of my friends. He is not mean to anybody, not even people who are mean to him. My friends always accuse me of having a crush on another one of my guy friends, but I don't, so what they say doesn't really matter to me.

I've fallen in love with a friend. The problem is i never get the chance to tell her. That's the hard part, i gotta say.

Yeah, I think it's hard to tell your friend, and it's even harder if she/he don't love you back romantically. I wish you goodluck though!

She's already been out of touch since high school. I haven't got the chance to see her since our graduation. I think she has a thing for me too but maybe she was just waiting for me to make a move. I was just too shy back then, i guess.

I have. i kept the feeling inside me for two before i summed up the courage to tell her. It somehow changed our friendship but i didn't regret what i did. There are things that are not meant to be and i guess that's what happened to us. But that happened a long time ago. People often keep telling other people to tell their love ones how they love them but this is easier said than done when the person you're in love with is your best friend. But it's better to tell the truth and be ready with the consequence rather than keep the feeling inside and suffer in silence.

That's what i would like to think. After i opened up and told her about how i felt we seem to have felt awkward with each other afterwards. There were times that i regretted it, but i knew before hand that that would be the consequence that i have to live with. after i graduated college i left for metro manila to have a vacation and tried to forget her but i end up getting a job. after 3 years i came back and we had a very long conversation. I brought up the topic not to rekindle old feelings but to have closure. I don't know if i left her hanging again but i returned to manila to be with someone else. I knew i love her but as they say i only have one heart and i can only choose one. That time i chose the one that was waiting for me here manila. After a few years i went home but this time with a wife and a child. It would have good to see her again but i guess both our spouses would take it against us.

I like your thought, are you still friends with the girl? It's hard to hide the feelings on yourself, it's harder when you see her everyday but got no chance to show your feelings toward her romantically.

Though it was not happy ending for both of you, it's better that you told her anyway rather than years and years of wondering why. Thanks for sharing your story.

Yes, it happens quite many time but just cannot do anything. It seem to be they can only be my best friend and not further. It hurts a lot but nothing can be done.

Hello lanie, Nope, not really because i never had a real best friend who is a girl. but i guess you really can't tell since you didn't really experience it. but from the stories, videos that i have seen, most best friends turn out having a relationship, and it was good for some but not all. maybe i will find my love but am sure if she si going to be my best friend.

True, it cannot happen to all people. I also don't have male bestfriend but I have seldom male friends.

I haven't tried falling in love with a best friend. My best friend is a guy and I really love him as my friend. he is not just a friend but he is more of a brother to me. I can say that there is no possibility or chance for us to be in a romantic relationship as we really treat each other as friends. We are only friends, and nothing more, nothing less that that. I can't see myself falling in love or loving someone like my best friend because I don't want it to happen that someday, our friendship will be ruined by any misunderstanding, love has brought us. Well, falling in love with a best friend is possible but in my case, I don't think it is. For some, it happened and it may happen. It's a pretty good relationship because you know the person very well.

Same for me, I really don't think I can fall in love with my bestfriend but by any chance that happen, I don't if I have the guts to tell him. I'll just wait for him if he loves me too romantically.

Hi Lanekins!. I think I was like you most of my best friend are girl I got 3 men thats really close to me because we grow together but thinking having a love story with them really turn me off. I think its because I know them to well including they dark side.

Haha, you're right aside from you know everything about them, you also happen to know their dark secrets. When I still working at warehouse store, I got group and there were several males than females in our group. We all know that they are still flirting with other girls while they are in a relationship. So I got turned off on that, anyways afterwards we stop seeing each other so I cannot call them bestfriends.

Hi dear, Nice topic. In fact I had a similar discussion last week also. I like to be a long friendship and finally end up with the marriage. Because a good relation and better understanding would be there. I had a lots of female friends and male friend from school time to present this time. But compared with boys, I had a so many girls as friends. My mom used to say that your nature is like a girl that is why you got only girls as friends. One way it was right. I could have easily make friendship with girls than boys. When I was studying for graduation, (for a special subject, I was the only boy and 14 girls in the class). The three years we lived like a family. As I was a singer I got lots of other friends also. Although, many are very good character and good looking, I could not lead the friendship with any of them. May be I had a dream girl when I was in the school. At the time when I was in college, I don't even know where she was. Still, I had a desire for the unknown girl and which lead me to no relation with any of my friends. I know many were liked me to be the life partner, no one asked me and I didn’t even asked them also. Many are used to come to my home and become very friendly with my family. After so many years, now, I as was a good friend, they keep the relation in a better stronger way. But selecting a life partner from a list of friends is good and only thing is that we should maintain the purity forever. This will make a strong and hard relationship for the future life. Regards, Thank-s

Marrying your bestfriend is cool and got lots of advantage. You know each other very well so you can adjust to each other's attitude. My past co-worker fell in love with is bestfriend, they've been a relationship for a year now, I guess. They are sweet and cute.

Hi dear, Nice to hear from you. Yes, all the more the matching of the minds - that is the one we should keep priority. If it is a friend, or a unknown person, after the marriage, they should have one mind and oneness in mind on different issues. The success can be easy for them. Love each other being a friend can always end up with marriage, if they having a wish for the same. Regards, Thank-s

I don't think I fell in love with my bestfriend before. I think I only have a crush on her. I also think that I will never fall in love with her. Its not that she doesn't have the qualities I'm looking for a girl. Its because she is my bestfriend. I think it will really become complicated if ever I fall in love with her.

You had a crush on her, it means you feel something beyond friendship.

I have been married for a very long time now, but when I was younger this did happen. I never told my friend and he never knew because I did not want to ruin the friendship. I think this happens easily when you hang around someone all of the time, very easy to start having feelings for a good friend. A lot of people consider their husband or wife their best friend, but I think that is afterwards.

i fell in love with my bestfriend before^^ i thought he liked me a bit too bcs we were sharing many things and all but then he just started to act different to me :( ignoring my messages, not caring so much to talk to me, a girl humiliated me a girl that he fell in love with and he didnt defend me. so was a bad time for me. he really hurt me but now im ok^^ he stopped to talk to me so is ok now bcs i see he never deserved my love and care bcs i really did all to see him happy and he just ignored and doubted when that girl he loved said a lie about me he doubted about my word so :( anyway i still like to see when bestfriends fall in love bcs most part of times the stories end in a cute way^^

I have. When I told him about that, he frankly told me that I'm just a sister for him (ouch!). So I didn't talk to him anymore. Later on he realized he missed his bestfriend. Time goes by he has learned to love me. We've been lovers for only 3 months and we broke up because of distance. now, he's married and has two kids while I am currently having a 7-year boyfriend.

I guess it's very rare for friends to end up together, I hope you still manage to be friends until now.

why cant you get involved with your friend?if you feel you can spend your lifetime with him,whats the harm?a boyfriend or a girlfriend doesnt come from heaven.they are also human being.the most important thing is whether you like that person or not.i would always prefer my friend to be my life partner as i know him very well and vice versa.and what is a Marriage? its a long term friendship.so its always better to be with a good friend.

I just can't love them romantically, I don't feel any love emotion towards them. Just plain and pure love as a friend. Anyone can be friends but you can't feel the romantic love to anyone.
