Falling in love with a friend
It’s a tricky subject – what do you do when you like your friend as more than a friend? For many people it has been possible to make the transition smoothly from best friends to lovers, while for others once that can of worms was opened, the friendship was irreparably damaged.
Would you tell your friend that you’ve fallen in love with him/her?
Kerriann:
No, I wouldn’t date a friend. I would be setting myself up to lose that friend and I wouldn’t want that. Plus my friend would have known all my secrets, and that’s too much information for a boyfriend.
Kadiann:
I think it would be risky but I still would tell him, because the person would have known who I am.
MT:
Hell no, I wouldn’t! It would definitely change the entire friendship and I wouldn’t want to damage that.
Sophie:
I would. Some say it’s not safe, but if you think of the logic behind it, it makes perfect sense. The person would have known you and loved you for you, so you wouldn’t have to pretend because the person would have known and appreciated the real you. I’d rather play it safe than play stupid.
FC:
I think it is a bad, bad idea. I did it and I lost both a lover and friend. Everything I shared with him, when we fell out, it was advertised on social media. I would tell everyone that it is a bad idea.
James:
I’d be scared to tangle up the thing because it can turn into a nightmare.
