I'm sort of in a dilemma...

Post Reply New Topic

I have several close friends at my school, and one of them is this guy. I've always thought he was very... well... erm... -handsome. Of course, I'm not really the type of person who would want to initiate a relationship with a close friend.

But he called me last night, and told me that he was "falling for me." I don't know what to do, what to say, nothing.

Advice? Please?

if you're attracted to him, date him. a date or two is not a lifetime commitment. take it one step at a time and see what happens. i married my best friend. may not be your story, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Thanks.

It's not that I've never dated a friend before, I've just never dated a CLOSE friend.

I say go for it. I was in a relationship with a close friend last year. It wasn't successful, so now we're back to being close friends again. While it is possible you two may end up in a relationship, have it end badly and then not be able to stay friends afterwards, it isn't always the case. If you find him attractive and he's attracted to you, a couple of dates won't hurt.

As long as it doesn't end in complete heart break for one of the parties I don't see why not. Just take it slowly and see what happens. It may turn out great or you both may laugh at the idea in a year or two.
