- hmm I'm so and so on it
well there are many good things as to why dating your best friend is a good thing like, this person knows so much about you , you guys love hanging out together because you enjoy each others company and usually most relationships start off as just friends then it progresses into something bigger.
the bad is you might end up losing a friendship when its over but then I don't see a point in going into a relationship thinking it might end after sometime, I go into relationships thinking its going to last and I want it to last so I don't see anything bad about dating best friends
