Its a cool idea depending on how long you two have been friends babes esp should be careful because some boys can to every to win a womans heart even pretending to be their friends you know a cool guy you can count on,a great shoulder to cry on etc and BAAAM he gets it and scrams.But if both of you have been true friends then what the hell keep the flame of love burnning it will be a good relationship.To me o the devil i know can never be better then an angel i don't know how devil go take give you peace when you date am?I mean i prefere to wait or look for that angel out there than to tie myself with a known devil whom i know nothing good will ever come out of.Same thing goes for the guys.

it depends on the type of relationship you are having with the friend, as for me, i do sleep with all my female friends.  Cheesy

i believe friendship should come before a relationship i.e. if one is not first your friend how can he/she become your lover.

so if he's your friend already then he can be your lover

Relationships start from friendship. So its ok to move up one level and become lovers from being just friends.

Who else would you lprefer to date? Your enemy?

The reason a number of people shy away from dating friends is because they know you too well and hurting them or being hurt by them cuts so deep.

Love dies when the thread of friendship ends. Most relationships today cry for help because guys (especially) change their position from friends to senior colleagues or bosses or better still employers of labour.

Absolutely! Back in school, I was simply friends with a certain girl for about 2+ years before a relationship broke out between us and it wasnt pre-meditated at all. The relationship was fantastic! The understanding was super and the compatibility was near-perfect. The r/ship started growing from day 1 because we had the basic rapport and understanding issues under the belt already. Though its been over for 2+ years now, it lasted a 5 blissful years and we're still friends! (we talked yesterday).

If a foundation of friendship exists before the bricks of love are laid on, it acts as a cushion when the love is tested or strained.

Therefore Ive found it difficult to enter relationships if I don't have the time to build a proper friendship with whoever it is, and with the status quo. . . God help me!

yea its good to date ur friend not ur enemy.

what if ur friend wants u guys to be friends and not lovers. again we u go into a relationship with ur friends, it seems as if u do not know her again,that u are just trying to know her.

what do u think of that. because it happens

But sme friendship can't be mixed with romance, friendship has different levels, and u knw romance attimes has a sour after taste, sme people r better off as ur friends dan being ur girlfriend/boyfriend,  u can av a friend,  and u can also have a friend in ur spouse, this are two different things,

if ur girlfriend/boyfriend is ur friend, den ur lucky, because so people arent so friendly with der spouse(this is quite deep)

but reallly, der r sme of my friends i can't date, because its either der nt my ideal type of spouse of that we r too close to date,

its a personal thing and principle, so only u can figure it out, Good luck!

Depends on how you see it, but it's risky. I mean, either you get a great relationship, or you lose a friend. because there is no way things will be like before in case it doesn't work out. So you decide what the odds are. I tried that before, didn't work out for us and lost a very good friend (we don't even talk now, unless it's compulsory, though we see eachother every day!).

I think that's the best thing that can happen for anyone
Dating your friend,gives you the opportunity to talk about most intimate things
, But arrangee dating is nothing to write home about Shocked Shocked

u see, that is exactly what i was talking about, der r sme friendship u shdnt mix romance with,  u could loose d friend and also d r/ship, sme friends are best kept as friends and not lovers,
