should you date a friend?

[Preepy Princess]

I have this friend Aaron and I used to like him then I thought about it and decided he was more a friend then anything. Everyone says he likes me and that i should go out with him I don't want to ruin the friendship. I know it will because he went out with his best friend and they broke up and now he hates her but has no really good reason for hating her except that they broke up. Should I take my chances?:confused:

I know exactly how you feel. I have a guy bestfriend and basically I've been told that he likes me. It's flattering and all but just the thought of risking our friendship on the line scares me. My friends have told me over and over again to just give hima chance. But my conscious is telling me no, because I don't want to lose a friendship over a relationship like that. So just ask yourself...is having a romantic relationship with your friend worth over losing him a friendship?! I'm not saying to not do it but just ask yourself that. If anything happens between you two...would your friendship for each other still be there. All that I can say is to follow your heart. Listen to what your heart tells you to do and just do it.

Princess-
I believe that the best relationships are born out of friendship, but i also think that you two really have to like each other for it to work...if your second guessing about hooking up with him...chances are that in your heart you really don't wanna get with him....i say this from experience, and the girl whom i once "loved" i can't bear to talk to for more than 5 min...so your best course of action would be to step up to the plate and make a desicion..."Do i like him enough where we could have a nurturing relationship", or..."I don't like him enough tobe his girl,but I like him as a friend due to the fact there's not commitment and we can just chill"... You hold the key, which door shall you open?
