Guy friend to dating

<p>

Considering that girls only have best guy friends who are fat/ugly/nerdy (otherwise they wouldn't just be best guy friends), no.

<p>No. Just no. My best friend is not ugly/fat/nerdy. I've just always had a boyfriend, and he's mostly had a girlfriend. It's just nice to have someone there, outside of your significant other. Honestly, I think the best relationships come out of friendships. </p>

<p>I know my boyfriend and I were very close (not best friends though) before we started dating, and 3 years later, we're still in a very healthy relationship. You just have to value your friendship more, and know when to step back and say "this (dating) isn't worth it, remember when we were friends?" when things start to get harder.</p>

<p>That being said, before I dated my boyfriend I was (shamefully, I know) hooking up with the before-mentioned best friend and we were a "thing", but stuff happened, I met my boyfriend and it didn't work out. Still, I think if the stars had aligned, I think we would have been just fine.</p>

<p>I say 'go for it'. Honestly, what's holding you back?</p>
