What to do with my best friend?

[Jalinta]

Ok well I told my best friend the other night at a sleepover that I'm bi, and I've known that she is as well for a while (though she likes girls more than guys) - I just always thought before it might make things awkward? But anyways, she got really excited and everything cuz I guess this is the first opportunity either of us have ever had to have a relationship with another girl.
I think she wants to go further than us just being close friends, she got drunk the other night and said a lot of things to me on facebook... But I know we're both really scared of screwing up our friendship..
So my question is, do you think it's worth going for it? Our friendship is super special to me - I trust her more than anyone else and everything kind of just feels incredibly natural and in balance with us which is why it'd be so easy to make it work, but then if things didn't work out our friendship mightn't ever be the same again, and I don't think I could cope without her.
So yeah, I'd love any thoughts, advice or previous similar experiences if you guys have any because I'm just so confused and all tied up in knots :S

Well it sounds like you really are good friends.. I'd be scared to mess that up too. But if you both feel like this is a great opportunity then I'd go for it! Sometimes, it even propels your friendship into something better and makes you even closer.

I don't think it's worth it if you sacrifice the friendship, if you think you could preserve the friendship then go for it :)

Don't do it...u said she was drunk and posted stuff.

Out of personal experience your friendship will go away.. Fast.

A romantic involvement, which can't last long-term, is a bad move. For sure.

I don't know from actual experience, I don't do that yet. I have a gay support club at school and I see this come up time and time again among the kids there. If you two can pre-approve some specific physical activities, then I wouldn't think that is a problem. No seduction, everything up front and a bit clinical. But a relationship is filled with so many undefinable characteristics, and the expectations would certainly lead you two astray. Just an opinion.

That would be up to you. As scary as it seems, that kind of relationship could either make your friendship better, or a whole lot worse.
