Sometimes the emotional attachment called love that exists between opposite parties may alter character.


One can not love one's besty the same way one loves one's girl/boy friend.
When you convert the besty to lover, it to a large extent becomes uninterestingly sour.

Only about 20% of besties become couples in life.

Mizk:
About 20%? This statistic is based on which study?

Bluezy13:


Pardon my unreferenced statistical estimation. It is strictly personal observation. I have modified it.

Mizk:
Your personal observation is wrong though

Alot of people feel dating your bestie is a time bomb waiting to explode and there is no way you come out of it unscathed, of course they are complications, people change, someone who is caring can become mean and unpredictable, but that doesn't mean it can't be one of the best decisions you ever made, you might think i can't date him he's my "best friend" that is just a label, you have history so changing your perception about him would change the way you feel, for someone to be your best and closest friend, they must be qualities that endeared him or her to you, the catch is how much they know you, you should take a leap of faith for the following reasons,

Your friend already knows your character and habbits, good or bad, they don't have to put up with it or tolerate it, they chosed you the way you are, with your flaws and bad habits, they have seen you at your best and your worst, and they're in a better position to help you through whatever you're going through.

They know what you want in a relationship, since you trust them to a certain level, you're bound to talk to them about your relationship, sex life, kind of partner, an observant friend who is interested in you will make it a mental note to avoid all your dislikes and refrain from making the mistakes your ex-partner made.

They know how to cheer you up more than anyone except family, since they have been through trying times with you, and they know what makes you happy.

They already value you as a friend, and won't mess around when you're more than a friend because they're scared of loosing you

For you to be best friends with someone you must
Have alot in common, including intrests, when your intrest align with someone else, your friendship never get boring, the spark will always be there and you won't get weary of each other, this is not the same when it comes to someone you just met, interests might differ.

You dont choose your bestfriend, it just happens, what more is sweeter than dating someone who isn't family but feel like family? They're closer to being your partner than any stranger you hope to meet

You enjoy their company and are within your comfort zone, they have been the shoulder you cried on, they were always there.

They know your family and you know thiers, and if they don't like him or hanging with you they'll tell you to stop being friends, but if they're cool with it, they'll be more than happy when you become more than friends.

So instead of thinking too much about how its going to ruin your friendship and how sex changes everything, concentrate on the advantages which outweigh the disadvantages.
