I think there will never be a good point of choosing. After all, all those relationships either friendship or bf-gf relationship is founded by LOVE. So if there is love and respect between all parties there is no need to choose ever. As long as there is compromise. Both the friend and the bf or gf are someone we need in our life.

Yah it is both important to you, and I know it is hard to think who will you chose. But in a situation you already know the attitude of your bestfriend and your boyfriend or girlfriend. Sample you love your boyfriend or girlfriend too much. How about her/him? If he/she felt same to you then your bonding will be more stronger in time than your bestfriend. But if your boyfriend or girlfriend doesnt give you much time and important of your relationship. Better you quit and choose your bestfriend. :) Choosing between them happens only in a situation. If both parties give and take on their time then there's no need for you to chose. As long as they understand each other. Enjoy posting...

I know this situation will never come in my life,but if ever I have to choose between the two,I will be at lost.Both are important to me in my life.But, I would like to say one thing,that it will depend on the situation.I need to be practical and mature.I cannot just choose my bestfriend since he/she has been a part of my life right from the start or choose my boyfriend because I cannot live without him.I believe in truth and being fair.I can only try my best to handle the situation and pray that this day won't come in my life.Happy myLotting!

hmmmm.. this is a tough question huh.. your bestfriend is just like your brother/sister coz you're been together through thick & thin. your boyfriend is always at your side & sooner or later he'll become your husband.. it's really hard for me to pick one coz they are both important in my life, but for now i will pick my bestfriend coz i don't have boyfriend right now hehehehe..

My fiance. I would pick him in a nano second, because I've seen what friendships are like. I still have friends, but I honestly don't think that I could ever trust anyone out of my select group again. Well that's not the truth, but to be honest I was hurt by people who I called my friends. They used me and then when I moved away to my fiance and quit my job for him they stopped talking to me. Their money was gone, because I moved to another county and decided to no longer support them. I can't say that was the whole story, but otherwise they were very rude, and were going down the wrong path, one I wouldn't choose. One thing's for sure, never be ashamed of your culture. I was of mine, and I changed for those ex friends, when I met the man who taught me to be who I was inside and out, they left me. Well Good Luck, I hope that you have a very wonderful and lovely day.

I have been in that situation before. I chose my friends than my boyfriend( when I was in college). He gave orders whom I should be with and I don't like it. He even say negative things against them which i didn't like. Although I love him, but it doesn't mean he have to give orders and say bad things against the people I have been with for long. I knew he loved me and his just concern, but I didn't care. I told myself, if he can't accept my friends he just made me feel he can't accept me either. So what's the reason to stay together. Sometimes, you should have enough reason whom to choose between people. Whom you think is right to be with should be the one to stay. People come and go to our life, don't be afraid what consequences may come coz any decisions have its own positive or negative results and have its own reason.

That is a hard question.. Well, my best friend and my boyfriend are both important in my life.. It is hard to forget all the happy memories and good friendship that we've been through with my best friend... It is hard to forget all the happy memories of courtship and being together as a lover for more than four years with my boyfriend.. So, it is really difficult to choose who among them should I choose 'cause both of them have a big part in my heart and in my life... However,if I really need to choose who among them well I'll choose my boyfriend because he is the one who I want to spend my life and since I do really love him... I know that my best friend will understand my decision because he knows that I do really love my boyfriend and I know if ever he will have the same situation he will also choose his girlfriend.. We all know that best friend is always be a best friend.. Someday, we will separate of our path 'cause we have our own life and we need to deal it in our own.. Not all the time I can be with him and same as him especially if we have our own family.. If you family can live what more a friend... Not all the time we can be together.. I know that I will make a right decision of choosing my boyfriend because he is the one I love and 100 percent sure that he also love me.. I know that I will be happy in my decision because I am with the one I love... I will be spending my life to the one who owns my heart.. Well, when you are in love or when you are loving someone, you can sacrifice everything just to be with the one you love.. And that's what I'm doing ...

My friends, the real close and good ones have been my friends for a long time. I would never turn my back on them ever. To me if someone tries to come between you and your friends then they aren't right for you to begin with.

You should never have to choose a thing like that. If your friend is really your friend he/she should except your choice for a boyfriend/girlfriend (unless he is an abuser or something like that). They don't have to like each other though...they just have to be civil when they are in the same room for all of your sakes. If your boyfriend/girlfriend is telling you to get rid of your best friend. I would stick with the best friend...i've seen many friendships end over the boyfriend/girlfriend and then they end up breaking up with each other in the end...now your left with neither...

I would definately pick my best friend because my friendships are the most important thing to me. Unless of course there was concrete proof my friend was lying. I would never think my best friend would lie to me so I wouldn't think twice I would pick my best friend over a guy in no time.

Well, it depends on why I have to choose. I'm the type who wont tolerate wrong doings. So even if you are my boyfriend yet you did something wrong, it is no assurance I would choose you. Same with my bestfriend. I guess this question would apply for different situations.

It depends on the situation of course. But if they love you, they'll accept that the both of them is a part of your life. Your best friend won't forbid you to see and date and be with your guy and vise versa. But as your friend cares for you, sometimes she can see something that you can't see about your bf so if she tells something bad about your bf then you're not to rely on it but take it as a warning. She just doesn't want you to get hurt in the end because she didn't tell you about it. Know the both of them deeper so in there'll be no regrets in the end.

Hi Elsie. If my boyfriend is already a fiance (or we are really getting serious into the relationship), i would choose him (because he chose me!). Any best friend who comes between you and your relationship is no friend at all. But if i am just dating, and there are problems between my guy and my bestfriend, i would choose my best friend. You know why? Because bestfriends seem to possess a radar or some innate device that makes them see what we cannot see. We usually grow up with our best friends, so they know us so well and more than any man we might love so much but doesn't know us so well (yet.) You know, boyfriends may come and go, and we always run back to our best friend, to cry on her shoulder. And you said a boyfriend that "you can't live without"... but you do not know if he cannot truly live without you? Oh i would surely choose my best friend. And btw, there is no divorce for best friends. :) Usually, after a fight for say, two years cold war, best friends always eventually get back together. Have you seen Romy and Michelle's HIgh School Reunion? That's the kind of best-friendship i am talking about.
