Has anyone out there actually fallen in love with their best friend of the opposite sex?

How did it work out? Did the relationship last? To clarify, I'm not talking about falling in love with someone and then realizing the relationship works because they feel like your best friend. I'm talking about being someone's best friend for a while first and then later falling in love with them. It seems like movies and books always portray this type of relationship and yet I don't ever seeing it working out in my life or the lives of others.Has anyone out there actually fallen in love with their best friend of the opposite sex?
Me all over! My best friend was named Tim. He asked me out, and I realized I do like him too. I said yes and we are going to the movies the weekend %26lt;3Has anyone out there actually fallen in love with their best friend of the opposite sex?
Nope, this is one of the most common fantasies men have. They think that if they get really close and become great friends with the girl that ONE DAY she will realize what she had right in front of her nose all along. However it never works out that way, and leaves the guy angry and frustrated because he had feelings from the beginning and they were never reciprocated.





Guys will, and often do, fall in love with their female best friends. But I assure you, 99.9% of the time it is a one way gesture.





The trick: Don't be friends with a girl unless you are comfortable being 'only a friend' and 'like a brother' for the rest of your life.
It happened to one of my friends. He had two female friends, one of whom was a bit flirtatious. He ended up 'falling in love' and dating the flirty one, and it ended horribly. If you value your friendship, don't do it until you are older and absolutely certain about your feelings. Some people are able to rekindle their friendships, but a lot aren't.





I definitely wouldn't do it in high school, since dating there mostly ends up in break-ups.
Ha, ha, ha.





I have to laugh at that one....I had a girl that was a friend, I loved her but at the end, I figured it'd be best to just leave her as a friend cause if you enjoy them as a friend and the both gotten together and it didn't work out then best chances are the love would be lost and then the friendship would be lost soon enough.
I dont know if it's ';LOVE,'; but my best guy friend %26amp; I have an amazing friendship and love each other dearly.





I think I might be ';in love'; with him.


However, for him, he insists it's merely a platonic love for me.





We've lived 2 years as if we were a happy monogamous couple (and ';family'; as he has a kid), without the formal title......yet, he refuses to have a real relationship with me. So, I moved out.....but we're still amazing friends. My feelings remain the same.





This kills me every day. :(
yes i have recently. he told me he liked me too and we would always go to parties and have a great time with friends and he'd sleep over every weekend. it was great. we did not have sex though. then after we had our kiss he ditched out and completely stopped talkin to me and was an a$$hole to me. so guess what honey i moved on and he is no longer my bestfriend. bestfriends of the opposite sex remain bestfriends.
Yes i have. He loved me too. But he took too long to ask me out and I ended up having a boyfriend. So now I love my boyfriend and the guy that loved me and was my best friend doesn't talk to me anymore because it hurts...
i did, we were best friends. we always hung out and text all the time. then i fell in love with. we have been dating for more than three years, its amazing.
I wouldnt call it love. But I definitely wanted a relationship with her because we got along so well. But it never happened.
I did and we got married 16 years ago. Life is good.
Yeah but it didn't work because he was gay.
No. He's just a friend.
no
