I have a childhood friend. We’ve been really good friends for years now, although we hadn’t seen each other for about 6 years, but we used to communicate once in a while. So recently, we met, and since then, we both started having feelings for each other. Or maybe it has been there, but we never acknowledged it. At first, I tried so hard to kill the feelings because I was really scared of losing the friendship, but not anymore because I was certain I won’t mess up if we got into a relationship. Imagine, I don’t even find talking to other guys interesting anymore. I used to be the type that says, “Girls, keep your options open,” but bruhhh, I can’t even hang out with any other guy again. I just want it to be him. I want him to be my best friend and everything. Love is crazy.
We both know each other so well, at least we both know what we can’t tolerate, although you really can’t know a person’s true color until you get into a relationship with them, I’m willing to build a healthy committed relationship with him. Besides, I think friendship is a good basis for building a relationship. We started talking very frequently since we both found out our feelings were mutual, and he said he wanted a real relationship with me, but he was trying to take things easy. I know he genuinely loves me and wouldn’t want to do anything that’ll hurt me. I used to always say I could never date my friend because I was the type that believed not all friendships should lead to a relationship.
I always turned down my friends who wanted to date me, but this one is different. I’m ready to risk it all for this guy. If someone had told me months back that I’d be feeling this way for this guy, I’d have laughed so hard because I never saw him in that light. For the record, we have never had any form of intimacy, and we’re both single. Guys, I really love this guy so much, and it’s not even infatuation because it’s been years since I felt this way for someone (he also said the same). I’ve been feeling this way for weeks now, and never for one day have I felt different about it. But what do you guys think? Is it normal to date a friend? Do you guys think it will work out? Should we give it a try?
