Would you risk a friendship for a relationship?

If you have already done the deed and she hasn't chased you since. I wouldn't bother.

She feels the same way about me as i do towards her.

We both want a relationship together, were just bit wary incase it doesnt work out and we lose each other as mates.

Then it would seem reasonable to go for it and not have the "what if" hanging over you, if it works out then great, if it doesn't that's unfortunate but there's no reason you can't both be adult about it and remain friends is there?

Sure if it doesn't work out then your relationship will have changed but relationships do change all the time, usually in subtle ways that we don't notice, but who knows - maybe doing nothing could in fact lead to a breakdown of the relationship anyway. Remember the advice in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure "be excellent to each other" - it might not work out but if you're fair to each other then you've got a much better chance of remaining friends afterwards.
 
Last time i went from friendship to relationship it lasted just over a month.

We no longer talk.
 
My current relationship started as a friendship. Really good friends for a couple of years, went on holiday a few times, spent most weekends together. Now been in a relationship coming up to 2 years and lived together since January. Wouldn't change it for anything.
 
I have, and yes. Why?

Because the reality of life is people grow and move on. You might stay 'friends' with a select few but after school, you go to uni, after uni, you go where work takes you. You move geographical location and you make new friends.

There is no sense missing the chance on a relationship for somebody you may or may not be acquainted with in 10 years.
 
Friendship to Relationships are a headache. If you've got a great friendship leave it at that. Because once you get into a relationship everything changes, you get wound up about the littlest of things, seen enough people that has put me off it.
 
My best friend at 18 is my girflriend at 25. Nearly 5 years (started when I was 21) and very happy.

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?
