Is it possible to fall in love with a guy best friend?

Question

Is it possible to fall in love with a guy best friend? Whom I have known for years? Will the romance still be there, or does familiarity breed contempt, boredom? Will the guy accept me? How do I know about his feelings towards me?

Yea. Very possible. It happens all the time. ALL THE TIME.

That's because you already know each other well. You trust each other, you like spending time together, and you know exactly who the person is you're falling for (no surprises when a guy turns into a jerk in a few months).

It's not surprising that you can fall in Love with your best friend.

When people talk about their significant other being their best friend...

People think that's a joke or a saying. It's not. It describes having the closeness of best friends (the trust, loyalty, closeness, ability to be vulnerable, someone who gets you) PLUS a usual romantic relationship.

In my opinion, these can lead to some great relationships. That doesn't mean they're any more likely to work out in the long run. But it is usually a great relationship because you start off being close already, and you trust them already.

That lets you skip like 3 months of bullshit at the beginning of any two other people "getting together"

Not only is it possible. It's happening to you. You know it. You're trying to deny it, but you can't... you loooove him

(get that goofy-ass smile off your face!)

Yes it’s possible. But a lot of times women only “fall in love” w their best friend (male) when they’ve been tossed around a lot by different men who played them. Other women who would fall in love w their best friend are usually women who have kids. They realize no most men don’t want them w kids, they also realize they’re getting older and that a lot of men prefer younger women w no kids. Other women like those in financial debt, tired of paying all their bills on their own, etc, may fall in love w their best friend. Most women know they have a backup man if need be to rely on. It’s usually some dude in their friend zone

It's very possible because that actually happened to me I had a huge crush on one of my guy best friends for like 7 years and during our senior year of high school I was thinking about telling him that I liked him but I ended up chickening out anyway fast forward to about a month after our high school graduation he texted me one night and asked if he could tell me a secret and I said sure and he told me that he liked me and asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes and as of now we've been together for 2 years

Happens all the time opposite sex friends can and do feel genuine attraction other times not. Unfortunately, sometimes it can be one sided.

If you like someone express interest and see where it goes. Just remember to take things slow.

Uglygaypoorcoward94 · Answer

Anything is possible but you made him a friend in the first place because he didn't see him as anything more than a friend. He has a good personality but wasn't sexually attractive to you. If he had neither a good personality or good looking he wouldn't be either version of friend you would want nothing to do with him

Yes. But it requires both being on the same page and mature enough to pursue it. Women have a habit of developing feelings for a guy but never bothering to check if the feeling's mutual.

How do you know about his feelings towards you? The same way anyone does. You take your best guess.

bowenw · Answer

Yes, the heart wants what the heart wants. If he is not giving you any signs of liking you as more than a friend, I suggest you ask him if he has ever thought the two of you could be more than friends.

Subtle_Luminescence · Answer

Of course. Happens all the time. Guys and girls can rarely be ever friends without having feelings more than friends.

WhitneySnow · Answer

Very possible. Go for it! If he’s really your friend, you won’t lose him as a friend even if he doesn’t have feelings for you (and he probably does).

SixFootSexy · Answer

If he doesn't already like you, you could just end up being his friends with benefits. Chances are that he's probably not going to want you as his "Keeper" girl.

abc3643 · Answer

That is what is supposed to happen! When you love someone they become your best friend. When you get married your spouse is your best friend.

Valdemort · Answer

Sure, though can't say it's happened to me and I have quite a few close guy friends. Most of them I'd really rather not see myself dating lol

Miristheiss · Answer

Why was he just a friend all of this time leading up if he was boyfriend, relationship material?

Nikki1989 · Answer

Yes, but you can love many people.

katiesmuff · Answer

Absolutely that can happen and I think it could happen pretty easily.

lucas262 · Answer

I do not believe in being friends with women. Your either a love interest or an orbiter no in-between.  Any man who settles being in her friendzone I almost blame him more

David318578 · Answer

Of course  How do you feel about him sexually?

David_beckham · Answer

Is it possible? Well, it's a big world; it would have happened in some corner of the world for sure. But in your case, it depends upon you two.

scott04sa22 · Answer

Its Possible, you can wake up one day and have feelings for him

dragoblack · Answer

Yes, but you do need to hear how he feels, by asking him directly.

Tstrbrainer · Answer

It's more likely that he's friends with you in the first place coz he's into you.
