 Topic  Dating Friends 
 Message  As usual, I am quite gone on one of my friends. We’re pretty good friends -- we trust each other, talk a lot, enjoy each other’s company. So... what are you guys’ thoughts on dating friends? What about once it’s over? Does friendship completely fall apart? Can it continue?

 Message  It all depends on whether u both have same motive for gettin together as more than friends. After ur choices are made, it happens that there may be regret or... wierdness, because that someone may realize that there is no way to think of u as more than a friend, so i guess u gotta see through the skin and feel whether the person really appreciates u beyond the word friend.

 Message  the fact that your asking means that you’ve already decided and now seek approval. the fact that you mention "Once it falls apart" means that you already realize it will subconciously, at least.

And I wish I could tell you that you can be friends again, but you should know by now that there is no going back in life.

peace

 Message  It depends on how you weigh it. There is a very real possiblity that if you date, your friendship will be soured. As yourself: is it worth the risk? If you think it is, go for it. But if dating this friend is just an open option out there and you don’t really feel deeply about them... then friendship is good without complications. But if you really feel that being more than a friend is the right way to go, then trust your instincts! They ware the least likely of anything to fail you...

 Message  actually, i think it’s a wonderful thing if friends move into a deeper relationship if the feelings are there. becoming friends first is the best way to nurture a possible love relationship. isn’t that the point, to be friends? who’s to say there will be an end? life is too short, i think. if it feels right, i say go for it! stop projecting and worrying about all the "what if’s." life’s too short!
