How did dating your best friend turn out?

[Cadanance00]

I dated my best friend last year and it didn't turn out so well. Her family and mine were friends since we were little and we've been friends most of our lives. Then when I turned 15 we decided to make it a sexual relationship and we both had different expectations so it only lasted a few months. Now there are hard feelings and we're not such good friends any more.

Yeah that happens buddy when there's strong emotions. When there's heartbreak they may not feel comfortable any more ya know? I know many people that have pulled off being friends with an ex.

My tip is to act like nothing ever happened and go back to being friends. After getting everything of eachothers chests if that is necessary first.

Yeah I agree. I think it'll just pass over in time, especially if you were good friends before
I've never dated my best friend, but we have mess around a few times. But I think it's different with guys. We can just do something because we're buds, and move on. Most girls aren't like that's

I dated my best friend when I was sixteen. He ended up cheating on me with three other girls. No surprise but that completely destroyed our friendship as well. It made me realize I was purposely putting myself in shitty relationships because I was so unhappy with myself. So in the last year, I've worked on improving myself and my life. Right now, I can say I'm pretty content with how my life is going.

I used to date my best female friend and we still date occasionally. I'm more or less her boyfriend when she can't find somebody else so it's really more of a friends with benefits thing. It works well and doesn't destroy our friendship cuz we are always honest with each other and don't have too high expectations.

I wish I could work something like that out with her. Tell the truth I miss the sex and someone to hang with.

I started dating my best friend sophomore year of highschool. You could say it worked out well cause we're still dating and we're both in college lol

To be fair it wasn't like we grew up together type best friends but we were best friends for a year before we dated and good friends for a year or two before that.

2 months ago my bestfriend asked me to be his girlfriend, but i said i need times to think, after 2 days i went to see him and i said no. i guess it didnt change our relationship at all

i mean like we still hangout together, and we're okay.

Look at the alternative - never date anyone you aren't close to in case it goes wrong? O.o

How does that work?

I understand what you mean. In your first post you talked about different expectations I guess as long as you don't find a common ground it cannot work out but may e time will help to fix it wjo knows.
I guess for my friend and me it works fine cuz she is literally the only girl in my life I'm usually into guys and she's the only female I have and had a sexual relationship with, dunno it's kinda weird I guess.

She wanted a non-exclusive arrangement, which is okay I guess if that's what the expectations are but I couldn't live with her seeing another guy when he came home from college on breaks. Like I was second choice. Now she broke up with him cuz he's got a gf at college - har har.

I suppose I shouldn't be bitter. Now she wants to be friends like befor maybe I should be forgiving. Dunno.

I often wondered what it would be like to be bi, but I'm not into guys. It's okay if you can do it. Seems like it opens a lot more doors.

Yeah, it leaves you withva lot more possibilities.

but you are right you probably shouldn't be bitter. maybe her coming back and wanting to be friends is the first step. she maybe understands now how you felt after losing her boyfriend to another girl.
so does kinda sound like a second chance doesn't it.

The way I look at it is like this, you double your options and chances really. And if your wondering what it would be like, then maybe your curious lol!! And nothing wrong with that.

Second chance? Yeah, maybe, I wouldn't ignore any opportunity at all. Stuff like this does t have like a rule book or anything, so it's real all about what your ok with and what you like and want, and willing to experience.

I guess I can say I'm dating my best friend because she is my best friend, and an amazing partner. We got to know each other right as college started and a few months in we were dating. Come to think of it though, I never had many friends that were girls, all me close mates were guys. Huh.
