    Gee. I sure hope so., any relationship needs to have a friendship as the basis. So important for your partner to be able to make you laugh!

    isn't that the best thing? if best friends fell in love, it's like a match made in heaven. cuz you'd have a lotta common interests already and you share that special bond that no one else has. i think it's romantic.

    if you are best friends shouldn't you be able to tell what they think of you? if there's mutual feelings then you should get together but if it's only one sided it's better to not let them know so there wont be any awkwardness.

    Best friends becoming lovers is quite common and it always has two out comes, they are happy together or they become the worst of enemies. Myself for instance is in a relationship with my best friend. We got together a few months after her breakup with her boyfriend. Although we know each other's good and bad sides, when you decide to go beyond the boundaries of friends a lot of things changes. You either lose something in the process and gain something new, or everything could still be the same. Just be aware of the fact that you may see a side that you never seen as a friend in your new lover. The choice is yours and your best friends to make but just be aware of the possible outcomes. Plus, the biggest risk is quite possibly not taking one. No Guts, No Glory!!!

    How can this possible ? Best friend fallen in love ? Tell me something . That love in just 1 sided or both ? If both love each other and wait for a good time to express that feelings then its very easy. But for one side. I don't believe that its happen in real. If it is then no answer from my side. God Knows.

    More than 50% of all relationships starts from your inner circle (work, close friend, sportclubs etc) So it's not wierd to have a bf/gf relationship with your best friends.

    1. START YOUR FRIENDSHIP WITH THE END IN MIND. It is important that you, on the very onset of your friendship, set your mind that your best friend will always be your best friend, nothing more, nothing less. The 'mind over matter' rule could still apply. Make a personal rule that it is forbidden to entertain any thoughts regarding your best friend being your ideal partner, or else, you will always hold on to that mental note and eventually, label him as an ideal partner not as a best friend. Whenever your mind accidentally crosses that line, shake it off as soon as you can.

    2. CHOOSE NOT BE ATTRACTED. It is normal and sometimes inevitable to be attracted to your best friend. But of course, you have become the best of friends because you have seen qualities in each other that you find fascinating or plainly, attractive. So, don't feel so bad or sheepish whenever you feel attracted but learn to go back to reality. Whenever you see his best side, humorously divert your attention to his worst side. It helps. From being the good looking, almost perfect best friend to his eccentricity of burping like a frog, or farting like a pro, if there is such.

    3. VERBALIZE HOW YOU SEE HIM AS YOUR BROTHER (OR A SISTER IF YOU'RE A GUY!). This is again for your own sake. It is to season your mind that there is a red line between liking him and loving him like your sibling. Call him brother all the time. Associate him with your real brother, if you have one. Having a male best friend is so special and gratifying, because you could always ask him a male's point of view regarding anything, for free. It is expedient to run to him for an advice regarding your personal issues, whether this is regarding your relationship with other people, or sometimes, economic issues, to draw the line that he is, indeed, your brother who could help you, even in the most non-romantic ways.

    4. BE EMBARRASSED WITH THE POSSIBILITY. I suggest that you keep the cattiness, at least, just to not fall for your best friend. Just imagine how he could totally turn away from you, 360 degrees, if he finds out you are engrossing yourself with imaginations of things friends are not supposed to do. Well, technically, I would not know how on earth will he find out that he is involved in your phantasm, but just imagine how awkward would that make him feel that at some point, you have envisioned him being idealistically linked to you, in not so wholesome manner. Imagine how that would make you feel, too!

    5. FINALLY, CHOOSE TO LOVE HIM AS YOUR BEST FRIEND. Personally, I could give my life for my best friend. I could give anything for him. There were moments when I would actually ponder if I was attracted to him in some other ways or if it was more of being overwhelmed that I actually have a man in my life who cares and loves me like his own blood sister, even if I am not his family. That is just way too much of a deluge sometimes. A man who is so good to you and so believes in you like no other men do. Minus all the sexual thoughts and intentions. That is, let me say it again, overwhelming, nowadays.
