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.

I did. We crashed
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

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.
Well I am heterosexual... so absolutely not.
If you enter my friend zone, you never coming out
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
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.
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.
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.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.
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!! 💯If you're dating anyone other than your best friend wouldn't that just make them a casual fling?
Absolutely. Did before, and I'd do it again in a heart best.
I don’t think I could have a female best friend… and if I did it would probably lead to more than that.
I mean, I did. And we’re still happily together
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.
I'm inclined to say that I'd only want to date my best friend
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 doYes. I am and I have been for the 8 months (9 on the 19th) and it's been amazing!

no. if we’re friends, then that’s what we will continue to be.
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.)
I have been with her for over 3 years.
