Are you just going into a relationship with your friend or you intend to settle down with this person.

there are no garuntees in life. you can choose to stay friends and your friendhsip goes sour and you can also choose to enter a relationship which also can go bad. I say this to say if you are feeling someone go for it besides its better to start out as friends anyway

Well, you'll never know unless you try. If you don't try you will always wonder about what might have been. If you're afraid of ruining the friendship, take style to find out if your friend would ever go for it before asking directly. For instance, tell the friend a story about best friends who started dating and are now happily married (or something like that). Listen to the comments your friend makes about it to find out whether you can ask for a relationship or not. Good luck!

Its a question only u can answer. Same thing just happened 2 me, asked her out directly she said no and she's avoiding me like am d devil. She gave all d signs but I guess I was wrong. Though, 1 thing remains clear, if I had a chance 2 do it all-over again, I'll still ask her, coz now I know wat she feels instead of always wondering. Now she d 1 dat will be 1dering wat cud hv been if she said yes.
Good luck!

keep waiting na, when she starts dating someone else it will eat you alive
Re: Telling A Best Friend You Want A Relationship by slap1(m): 2:15pm On Dec 20, 2010
If he/she also takes you as a best friend, it's worth the risk. At least the out-come will be between both of you, not for the BBC. Why is he your best friend? You trust, love and care for him, and he probably reciprocates. What would you be needing from a relationship? Love, care and trust. Give it a shot.

@poster: wen we are faced wit difficukt choices, the best is always the easiest!
I tell U̶̲̥̅̊ from xperience, cos rite now A̶̲̥̅♏ rockin wit ma bestie and somhow, ill accept that its d best I've been in!
Eventhough she did d askin and I was a bit dazed, cos all d while I was kinda more concentrated on d friend us and rily never bodad to imagine us as lovers, I feel like I took d best decision by givin Ȋ̝̊̅† a try!
But be warnd, Ȋ̝̊̅† comes wit much more challenges, cos unlike d usual lovers, U̶̲̥̅̊ guys wud wanna ensure dat ur friendship stays intact!
And only those who don't know wud say dat lovers who are best friends have d major part of deir challenges conquered!
And, never forget; not all relationships wud lead to marriage, so stop beatin urself up and do wat has to be done. If Ȋ̝̊̅† works out fine, if not better!

just ask with love . .if you really want him / or.
