Is it worth the risk to date your best friend
Hello everyone, I really do not know what to do and because everybody I have asked have given me so many different and confusing answers I’m now turning to you, people on Reddit because I don’t know what else to do, heres the deal:
I (16F), have a best friend (16M). We have been best friends for the last ten years and he is one of the few close friends I have, He knows me better than almost anyone, is one of the only p that understands me and makes me feel like I could really be myself and I believe he is the most amazing person ever.
But a couple of weeks ago he wrote me a letter, it was a letter in which he declared he love for me, that he believes he loves me more than just as a friend,he made it very clear that it was the first time he ever felt that way and didn’t really know how to explain or put labels on his feelings and he in no way at all wanted to put pressure on me in having to respond, but I want to because I feel he deserves to know how I feel and all tough I have never been in love either and don’t know how you’re supposed to feel, I unfortunately believe I love him to. He gave the letter to me on the last day of school and next year we won’t be attending the same school after nearly ten years of being in the same class. now it has been a couple of weeks in witch I’ve really thought about what to say and do but I’m still not sure and as I’m seeing him again in a few days I’m starting to panic, so now I asking, Is it worth trying to date your best friend.
And before you answer here are some more information that makes the situation even more complicated, yay:
We both have twin sisters, And we all are really good friends and have been since forever. His sister was my first friend and for a really long time me, my sister and her were and inseparable trio, today I would say though that I’m equally close to both of them. And my only other friend is best friends with him, so this means that by dating him I’m putting all of my friendships at risk, and possibly ruining them for my sister as well as possibly making them feel awkward when we all hang out, but honestly most importantly it feel like a betrayal to his sister, could I really do that to her, could I really go and date my best friends sister? I don’t think so but I really need help in what to do, please tell me down below, Thanks in advance//
