If you remember this movie Julia found out she's in love with her bestfriend in the wrong time, for the guy is getting married and she's the bridesmaid. How about you, have you ever fell in love with your bestfriend? Would you do what Julia did?

Well, before I fell in love with my boyfriend we were best friends first, which makes our relationship very strong and full of truthfulness. Since we knew each other as friends at first we didn't know each other by courting. When you are courting someone it seems like you are not yourself, you tend to be more flirty and you just have love on the mind, but when you are best friends with someone first there is no falseness, you are the same person as always, there is no striving to impress him when he fell in love with the person that I am today as well as when he met me. I don't know if you will understand me, my words may not be the best selected, and you may not have experienced this before.

I wanted to say that what you said is so right on. I married a man I had been friends with for 10 years. We were not best friends but friends. He did know all the good and bad about me. We are best friends now and our relationship is perfect. No hidden surprises here. You are right on when you say..... When you are courting someone it seems like you are not yourself, you tend to be more flirty and you just have love on the mind. That is so true, dating we are on our best behavior.

I haven't fell in love with my best friend for all are girls. But I can relate on what you are trying to say. Being the best friends you are, you have seen the best and worst of your partner. You have been there through thick and thin, all the secrets that you've shared through the years, and the intimacy you have for each other is there. You are just you when you are with him, and he doesn't have to pretend to be someone that he's not.

I agree with you sugarplum,it's a kind of policy i tuck to my self never to just see and jump into any thing but i prefer being a friend, then, move on to the next level like what one musician said " from friends became lover" thats what really gave me my wife.

I loved this movie. It was witty, fun, and a little sad too. I married a man I had known for 10 years. We were not best friends like him and her but we were friends. I had to watch him marry other people and he watched me marry another person. We both were attracted to one another but both to unsure about the others feelings. He could have had me 10 years earlier but I now know that our timing would have been wrong. God had plans and lessons for us that we had to learn else where in order to be ready. I am glad we waited until our timing was right. I would have never tried to break him and his other loves up. I did not like one of them for sure but I knew he loved her and wanted him to be happy. Lucky for me she didn't last. Now that I have had his love I could never let him go and watch him be with someone else.

I love Julia Roberts and my husband used to say I looked like her. (I wore my hair like hers curly to the side)So I would have to say Julia for me and my husband is like Larry the cable guy lol. He is funny like that, sometimes looks like him so as far as looks and actions go he would have to play my husband. Drew Berry More and Hugh grant would be good choices or Adam sandler and Julia.

Another inspiring story that could be made into a movie. Which actress will you choose to portray your part and how about your husband who will you choose to portray his part? The right love at the right time.

i did fall in love with my best friend back in highschool, we dated for awhile, but when we broke up nothing was the same. Every time we would run into each other it was always strained. I wish we would of never went there. We finally quit talking

Ahhh... That is one tragic story you have there shebee28. A love that never was, a love that was meant to be just friendship. Don't give up your hopes, maybe someday you'll bump into each other and maybe by that time things will go back to the day you were friends. (*sighs*)

Actually I was lucky as he was still single when we re-connected and we just took it from there. Now we're married and things overall are pretty good so I can't really complain. :-)!!!! How did it happen? To make a long story short, I made a mistake, got the wake-up call, said, I had enough, and left. After I pulled myself together, I wrote to him, he responded and there he was...my best friend! This was the person I know I could say anything to and get the truth (even though I didn't always like hearing it). Soon, we moved in together and have been pretty happy ever since. I'm not saying it's always been easy but we do understand what the other person needs and we do communicate easily. May we all find our best friend! PS--Was Cameron Diaz singing off-key on purpose? Has she sung in any other films? Also is it me or was the make-up done so well that it looked natural?
