Date Girls

Many times the relationship between two friends may blossom into something deeper and more significant. Dating friends is certainly not a new idea as there are numerous instances of this in novels and movies. However, people are often skeptical if the romance between two friends is romantic enough! Let’s discuss some pros and cons of dating friends to find out if it is a good idea or not.

One-way ticket

The first thing that you should consider while dating friends is that it is a one-way ticket. Friendship is a platonic relationship and when you start dating a friend, it goes up to a different level from where there is no coming back. If for some reasons things don’t work out between you two, you probably won’t be able to get back to the previous ‘friendship’ level. A good friend may make a very bad ‘ex’girlfriend. One of you two will feel awkward to face the other (it may not be you) and thus the relationship will end completely.

Knowing a person inside out

When you date a friend, you know your partner inside out. This can go for you as well as against you. There will be few occasions to surprise your friend, especially if your friend happens to be very intuitive and is well acquainted with your habits. However, you can even take help of this situation to do something really romantic that only your friend can appreciate. For example, suppose you hate the color green and your friend knows it. Now your friend happens to have a fascination for green. You can wear a nice green shirt when you go on a date with her. Your friend will appreciate this gesture a lot as she will know why you have done this.

The final verdict

Finally, there is no way to know from beforehand how things will work out when you are dating friends. A good friend will make a wonderful life-partner. If everything works out, then you two will be the envy of a lot of other couples, as you will share a very special bond. If things don’t work out, it may be the end of your friendship.
