well i don't think there's friendship between men and women, so go for it. You're already thinking about dating.. I don't think it would ruin it unless one of you fell in love. If it won't work out just stop seeing each other for a while to cool off. I say go for it

YES I would. But it would have to be something we both agree on > that we are going to give it a try... and it would be nice if we could make some kind of pact that if dating does not work out that we could return to being friends there after.
And aside from that I don't see why if dating somebody doesn't work out that I could not be friends with them after. I just don't see why not.
But for some reason after we tried dating if for some reason that going back to friendship wasn't so easy to do. I still think it was worth it to try the dating.
Because it is hard to find a great relationship in life.. so I think you should give it a shot with anybody you think it could possibly work out with.

Probably not. My former administrative assistant and I have known each for twenty years and we both had disastrous marriages. We helped each other out through the rough times and got to the point where were about to start an affair, but she pulled back when we were kissing and said, "isn't it going to be weird to be see other naked?" So eventually nothing happened, but it strengthened our friendship. I went to her wedding to her second husband.

Yeah I've done it, and I'd do it again. If they stay your best friend then that will be a relationship for the ages. If not then try again with someone else.

If there were romantic feelings on both sides, yes, I'd risk it. Real friends will find a way to work it out if the romantic relationship hits a dead end.
And why think it will destroy the friendship before anything even happened? What if it turns out to be something wonderful? You won't know until you try.
And to turn it down just because you're afraid of a negative outcome... this way you should be afraid of everything. But then - what's the point in living then?

I see no point in dating or marrage. If you enjoy eachother's presence that much, just live together. I don't see a difference between a good friendship and people who are dating. it seems the only difference is that dating couples are more controlling over eachother. Just my personal opinion.

It might be a great match. I would try it. If it feels weird, you wont be automatic enemies. Do it.

No no no! Confronted with this, I have said no even though it sucked to do so. My friendships are worth too much to destroy with sex.
