Author Topic: Just started dating my best friend, how to make it less awkward? (Read 4049 times)

we both like each other and really want this to work out because otherwise we will have to meet people and form new relationships which is something we both hate doing. We have a crapton in common and are extremely compatible, the only thing is it's kind of awkward because we are such close friends and have been for a long time so it's just weird. Any tips on getting past this weird phase?

Close friends should stay close friends.

There's a stark difference between girlfriend/boyfriend material and best friend material. i'm sure you're already getting a feel for this considering how awkward you say it is

dont take any offense from this, but you should stop dating them asap or your friendship will die with your relationship

Don't be, feel the love, atleast be thankful that she didn't Friend Zone you.

Smash her right in the ol' behind, you guys will feel way more compatible after that.

just stay chill with each other and don't try too hard to make it like you're dating. let things happen naturally.

If you're not having love with her then it's just going to be awkward 24/7 until one of you break up.

I don't date people if there is no love involved.

You're exactly right

stick it in her pooper

Merging relationships with anything else ie. business or friendship is a recipe for disaster. when the relationship fails, which it does about 60-70% of the time, you'll lose valuable business, or in the case of friendship, a valuable lifelong relationship

its a real gamble to meet one person and say 'damn im going to marry this person and live with them forever.' planning to live with a partner forever after the first week of dating is so loving foolish you have to be a tween to conceive of it

I think most relationships start off awkward regardless of who it is. Give it some time and continue to be the bestest of besties.

AND THEN forget
