Would you date your best friend?

Question

jennifer_bloom · Accepted Answer

I don't have a male best friend now and none of my previous male best friends were people I would date other than one guy I knew as a 5-12 year old but he's gay now. He's a very smart guy, his dad made over 600K a year and he personally graduated with a degree in psychiatry. His sister is also a top student with a degree in engineering from U of T and now works at a prestigious firm.

Strictly spoken, why not dating your best friend? There's a risk of course that becoming too intimate may lead to discovering disturbing aspects of the involved friend. But then, one should listen to one's gut feelings, and in case of doubt, just don't and stay friends...

Nope He's a guy

Pinay_ako · Answer

No. There’s too much at stake. I don’t want to lose him and there’s no turning back if it doesn’t work out.

DaveJord · Answer

Well I am heterosexual... so absolutely not.

Chikky · Answer

If you enter my friend zone, you never coming out

DizzyDesii · Answer

If i friendzoned you, it doesn't mean you’re not attractive to others. You’re just not attractive to me so I would never date you. Sometimes that could mean not attractive in terms of looks. Other times it could mean not attractive in terms of personality/mindset/actions. Either way, you can’t escape my friendzone. I’ll hook you up with a friend of mine at most

thatshydork · Answer

Well all my best friends are gay guys or straight girls or gay guys in a relationship or straight girls in a relationship or gay girls and I’m a straight girl so no because that would be awkward.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Yeah! She's a very sweet girl!! Only "problem" for me is that she's nearly 2' shorter than me!! For her, the only problem is that I'm 27 years older than her! I'm not about to chase her but, if she wants me, she can have me.

Sirenboobzilla · Answer

My best friend is gay 😆  Though admittedly he has good qualities for a boyfriend. He's who I lost my v-card to way back when.

coolbreeze · Answer

No because the friendship will be lost and ruin for good. It will mess up the flow and chemistry of what you have with the person.

LovingJo · Answer

Not again, no. It ruined our friendship,  and  the relationship didn't work. Leaving us both broken.  I know that it  can  work, but it's a huge gamble!! 💯

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

If you're dating anyone other than your best friend wouldn't that just make them a casual fling?

Agape93 · Answer

Absolutely. Did before, and I'd do it again in a heart best.

DarkWinterNights · Answer

I don’t think I could have a female best friend… and if I did it would probably lead to more than that.

Rei13 · Answer

I mean, I did. And we’re still happily together

exitseven · Answer

there was a girl who was my best friend for a while. I definitely would have dated her. I had a steady girlfriend at the time so we never did.

richardcory · Answer

I'm inclined to say that I'd only want to date my best friend

mommymommymommy · Answer

Isn't that what you're supposed to do? I mean, at the risk of it not working out, isn't that what you're SUPPOSED to do

Blackcupcake · Answer

no. if we’re friends, then that’s what we will continue to be.

clampfan101 · Answer

Yes because I believe that’s how relationships should start. (And no, having a female friend does not automatically mean I want to date her.)

Ben487 · Answer

yes, I wish my best friend was a girl. Then I would date her and it would be fantastic.

justabuddy · Answer

I have. One of the better relationships I have ever been in. To be accurate though I don't think I would classify her as a best friend. I tend to think people limit themselves too much.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Nope. She's like a sister and it would be ick.

HippieVeganJewslim · Answer
