Lets say you had a really good friendship with a girl you were close to, and things started getting serious between you, would you risk that friendship to try a relationship?
Im in the situation were i can start a relationship with a really close friend and it could be awesome or it could go wrong and i would lose the freindship i have with her.
So what would you do?
I used to walk to school with a girl called Sarah. Everyday between the ages of 5 and 15 we would walk to school, hangout, go to the cinema, all the usual things close friends do.
When we reached 15 however, hormones or whatever kicked in and we became attracted to each other. We, like you were very concerned over losing our friendship for what might be a transitory and ultimately ruinous relationship.
To cut a long and arduous story short, one evening while under the influence of a bottle of thunder-bird we ended up ignoring all our rules and slept together (the first time for us both I might add). The following morning was awkward and tense, but close friends we were so we talked about it and decided 'what the hell' and went for it.
Sarah and I had a happy relationship for almost 4 years, but when I joined up and she went to Uni we decided to remain friends rather than have a stop-start relationship over distance.
Well, it has been almost 22 years since we split, I am married to a wonderful woman, Sarah is married also (not to me obviously), but we remain the best of friends to this day. Neither of us regret for one moment the decision we made and if anything it made us closer friends.
Never pass by a chance or opportunity, you never know, she may well be the one.
