Would you risk a friendship for a relationship?

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?

Just drunkenly stumbled across this..........I would say go for it mate. We are all only around this block once so why waste an opportunity of being with someone you care for? If it is only friendship for one of you it is worth the risk for the other to see what the story is.............why the hell not?

Good luck

Girls are not here to just be friends with. Its either sex + friends or nothing. Being just friends is a complete waste of time, what can you gain from a girl friend, that you dont already have with one of your buddy male friends?

So give it a go, or really you are just wasting your time!

Who is your closer friend now? Sarah or your wife?

I hope its the latter...

The relationships are not comparable directly in that way. I think my wife found the fact that my closest friend was a woman awkward early in our relationship, but it has never been an issue. If it ever were to be then my loyalty would remain, as always, to my wife.

Neither Susie (my wife) or Sarah are the type of people who would feel threatened by one another so the question is moot in any real sense.
 
Life's full of risks.

I was in similar position but also worked with the lady in question - went for it and we'll be 10 years married on the 29th.

Sometimes you have to take a chance - it all depends on how much you want something or someone.
 
mates are easy to find, but great gf's are not.

Worst thing... You could loose a mate, not hard to get more.

Best thing.... You have a great relationship with somone you already know so must now if you already like her

Been there it lasted about 2 months, we no longer talk.

Not saying they never work but if they don't it's very hard to go back.

Ditto although I'd say go for it, I did and it was an awesome two months :D Hardly talk now but neither of us have any regrets, you only live once and it might well work out long term.

And if that were true,(which I highly doubt) the fact that they place more importance on their respective relationship with myself than their own deep-seated animostity toward each other is testament to the strength of each relationship. Don't you think?
 
well i was once in this situation with a girl i had known for years i had not seen her for some time and then we started to see each other a lot drinking going round to each others houses etc i then started to get feelings for her but unfortunately she did not feel the same was a bit awkward at the start dint see each other for a few weeks then after that back to normal and still best of friends..

so just go for it as long as you feel you can carry on being friends if the worst happens!

Maybe it is a natural progresion for you friendship to blossom into true love ?

and if the relationship didnt work out whats to say that you wont still be friends ?

Same thing happend to me yeears ago. I was friends with a Lovely lady for months and then we got it together and had a relationship for about 6 years.

We split up but are still good friends I always pop round and see her every few months or so to see how she is.

If you have a connection with somebody and your both mature and rational minded then it will transend everything.
 
I nobbed one of my close friends years ago, and only to nob her again not so long ago and then she fell in love with me.

Then she wanted me to leave my gf - (I know I know I'm a bad man) but I wouldn't so we no longer speak.

I nobbed another one of my close friends, which made her leave her boyfriend not for me (Phew) and then she met another man and bought a house and is getting married all this in less than a year!
