Is dating your best friend or long term (year or more) close friend a good idea because you already know and trust them, or is it a bad idea because you might have lost that possibility for intimate connection and could ruin your friendship?
Update: Well, after two months together things have gone really well, but now I'm starting to feel more and more like it is just a really strong friendship. As a result, I think I'm going to stop things on a "dating" level and hopefully just go back to friends.

It could be the worse move you ever make, but it could be the best but just be sure you can live with it either way.
I do think it's a good idea. You get to do all of the things you did before, but this time you won't have to stop at that! Sharing more with the person you know, love and trust is just liberating (or so it should be).
Okay so I have this friend and he has a "thing" with my best friend. he is over it and wants out but she doesn't and doesn't know. he has always been...
