best friend

While I have always been a proponent of being friends with someone before you date them (it worked for me!), it might be risky if you date your best friend though.

If you grew up with someone who is now your best friend, perhaps there has been a time where you thought that maybe the two of you should date.

Arguably, it's harder to get over losing a best friend than it is getting over a boyfriend or girlfriend.

If you've caught yourself thinking about your best friend in a different, more romantic light, you may be wondering if it's a good idea to date your best friend or not.
