Dear Shyann,
Some Say It's Taboo
Dating a friend is a touchy subject. Some say it can be the natural
next step in a relationship, while others believe it to be taboo.
As with every scenario, it all depends on the people involved.
Also, it helps if the two involved gravitate towards taking the
relationship to that next level. Do you want him to be more than
a friend? Does he want the same?
Dating a Friend Has Its Advantages
In every relationship, feelings are the main player, and who better
to understand how you may feel about something than a good friend.
One advantage to dating a friend is that they tend to know what
you mean and where you're coming from most of the time. They were
your friend first, and a lot of friendship is understanding the
other person; an idea a lot of relationships tend to lose or are
without entirely.
Also, a friend is USUALLY someone who likes to be around you and
spend time with you. Another plus relationships go without. The
list goes on and on...not that I'm trying to sway you in any direction,
just showing you a lot of qualities good friendships have...and
maybe some you look for in a guy.
Give It a Shot
It sure seems like he just may have what you're looking for –
why don't you give it a shot? If things work out, they will and
it'll be great for you both.
If things don't, well, he was your friend first and should be your
friend last, too.
Besides, would you rather be kicking yourself wondering what if
years down the road...?
– Ren
