Okay, here's the scenario. Your best mate who is the opposite sex to you just told you they really like you, and have for a long time. Now, you have really liked them for god know's how long but have never told them, hence they don't know you like them back.

However, instead of jumping on the bandwagon and liplocking the said person, you refrain from doing so because in the future both of you know of something that is inevitable and will happen which will result in the two of you breaking up or having a weak relationship.

So do you go ahead and give them the best, passionate kiss you've ever given someone knowing full well that in the future there's a high possibility that you're not going to be together, and risk such a great friendship might I add.

Or do you, put your urges aside, and take the friendship route knowing well that, even though this thing that will break you guys up anyway if you had a relationship will not effect your freindship.

Now, what's not an option is, having the relationship, and if it ends up breaking up, going back to mates because that will not happen due to this even which will break you up anyway. It sounds contradictory, but if you go out with this person, you can't be friends after you break up. But, if you don't you can be freinds forever.

Requires a bit of thinking but, answer with confidence!

seems stupid to not do something just because something might go wrong. on the other hand, it could be the start of the most perfect relationship either of you could ever want. go for it.
 
I'd give it a shot. I could quote 1000 cliches but you've probably heard them all before.

If I had a chance at love I'd jump straight in with both feed.
 
well instead of trying to guess what the future holds just get stuck in there, if it doesnt work out then boohoo, but if it does well :D

you wont know unless you give it a go
 
Ive been there and came out still being good mates on the other side and ive been there and ****** it all up, so you might as well give it a go
 
Dude, your life is Dawson's Creek, and if I've learnt anything, it'll never work. From what I can decipher, the reason for this is the fact that there is no mystery and so there is not getting to know someone period, which is integral to any relationship.

But bare in mind I am basing this on an American teen drama :o

Good luck :)

The first six or so replies - give it a shot. My first reply when I spoke to a good mate and conscillierie (you joining this forum you should automatically know what that word means!) was give it a shot.

Might just do that then.

Thanks
 
do it mate.. if it doesnt work out, then if shes really upset and that, just say to her
"im sorryy, seriously im so sorry.. tell me now though, I know im a **** boyfriend, but was I a good mate" *preferably with music playin in the background*
 
Personally I find it unlikely Feek would ever say anything like that to me (despite his penchent for hiding behind me...)...

Mrs Feek on the other hand...

Rawr :D
 
Even the best of friendships can end as quickly and awkwardly as any relationship between 2 people. I would say, take it slowly and see where thing's go. If it's just a case of lustful thinking then it's doomed to fail.

Only you can say whether your frienship is solid enough to move to the next level, if your in any doubt at all then remain as friend's.
 
Definately do it. Seriously, you need to worry about what is going on at the moment, not what *may* happen.

If you don't do it, i think you may always regret it.
