Should we stay best friends or chance it for more?

hey..okay ive gone through this sooooo many times! im a junior now, and i've been best friends with the same guy since 7th grade. in middle school we were together for a while, that never lasted, but we are still best friends. Last year and this year i dated 2 guys that i've been close with, and it ended badly. Honestly, once you start dating your best friend that's a guy, things change forever! Sometimes its for the good, and sometimes its not. Just remember, chances are that you are not going to stay together forever because most couples don't, and breakups usually aren't fun! But, if you like him enough and he likes you enough, its a chance worth taking because you're always gonna have the "what if" in your head if you don't take chances! AND..if you like him a lot your probably goin to like him for a while and it's going to drive you crazy until you finally do something about it. BUT, if he's already in a relationship, have him break things off first before you start anything with him. And GOOD LUCK!!!! I hope you can post how things turn out.

thank u sooo much for the advice! it really did help alot. i have decided to try things out because like u said i know i would be thinking in the long run about how things might have worked out. if we decide that things arent working then we have promised that no matter what we would still be good friends. well i just thought i would tell u that and thank you for all of your help!

well this question hit home alot well i just got out of a relationship with my bestfriend and know she is scared that our friendship will be no more b/c she feel that
