Would I be an idiot to not date my best friend?
(100% DEAD SRS) (no homo)
I've been friends with this girl since gr9 (so like 5 years now) and she's my best friend. She's so sweet, innocent, pretty (she works at Abercrombie), and simply charming. She's definitely wifey material but not really girlfriend material... that's my biggest problem, like she'd make a perfect mother and whatnot but as a girlfriend to mess around and do stupid stuff with, she doesn't meet those needs. I mean stuff like drinking (she takes some type of medication that doesn't allow her to consume alcohol, plus she wouldn't drink anyways), clubbing (I go clubbing at least once or twice a month), and just doing stuff you'd expect a girlfriend to do. She loves me, she wouldn't stop telling me that (probably not in love with me), but I don't [i]love[/i] her, although I [b]care[/b] about her a lot.

no shes too good for you.
"definitely wifey material but not really girlfriend material"
lol strong
so you're looking for someone to date, expecting to break up sometime later? what's the point then?
you're not even looking for something to last so just leave the person you care about out of it
use ya head it's obvious
[quote=NoobCake]just doing stuff you'd expect a girlfriend to do.[/quote]
you have a pretty messed up idea of what a girlfriend is supposed to do lol
and because of that, you seem immature - she's out of your league
That sounds like true love to me. But you don't think she's girlfriend material because she doesn't do certain things, and I'm not the one to judge that. If you don't love her, don't force yourself.
as others have said, right now it wont exactly work. keep in touch with her when the time comes for you to settle down. who knows, you might luck out if she's still single with this personality.
nah don't date her. Clearly you're still at the partying and clubbing stage of your life and she's not. I doubt your relationship will last. When you're ready for that kind of relationship and if she's still available then go for it. If she's taken by that time then too bad for you.
@NoobCake Let me ask you this then. If you weren't worried about clubbing and getting drunk, would you want to date her then? Or rather, is she someone you'd want to be with once you get all that out of your system? If so, you may want to try dating her now and tone it back a little. You don't have to stop completely, but you have to make time for someone you're dating while at the same time realize they don't have to enjoy [b]everything[/b] that you enjoy.
But if you're wondering if it could work, but you don't actually do anything about it, it may very well be something you look back on and regret years from now. Because there's no guarantee she'll stay single on the off chance that you'll want to date her 10 years from now. Choice is yours though, if you feel like it won't work out then keep doing what you've already been doing. But if you're curious, then no harm in trying.
Wife/ mother material at 18/19? What the butt is wrong with teenagers </3
OT: Don't do it. If it doesn't work out it could potentially ruin the friendship. My last ex was a good friend for years before we were anything serious and after we called things off the friendship was pretty much donezo..
@kcwt:
@Fluxxxxx:
uh i posted knowing that but thanks for the input i guess
yo dont you dare get yourself into something with one of those muslim browns like everything about the way they're raised will restrict anything you do with the girl
You don't need to drink and club with her really...I thought you club to find girls.
You should get her. If she's really your best friend, then you're already quite compatible, and you know a lot about her. So it'll be easier.
Also, many married couples describe their spouse as their "best friend". It seems ideal.
I don't think every relationship starts with love i think it's just liking being with a person being happy just being around her/him, you get to know the person more with time and know if you two love each other. But if you don't want to risk the friendship over this don't do it. And if your planning to "mess" around with her don't do it ,but at the end you said you cared a lot about her so just think it over more.

do it with me...
@Fluxxxxx: When one leaves the page unrefreshed for 5 minutes.
And yes, sometimes I secretly wait for you to stalk me again.
I wonder how one gets ninja'd after I leave my post there for a good 5 minutes. @kcwt , and off topic, you are my senpai still. I wonder if you remember my stalking. <3
[quote=natalie]so you say she's like a mother but are you looking for a mother? would you date your mother? would you want a second mother? do you have to date someone that you like right now, or can you also date someone you could see yourself maybe liking in the future?[/quote]
I'm pretty sure he meant that she would make a good mother for their kids should they decide to have any.
EDIT: @Fluxxxxx 'd

I don't think OP is talking about mother as in somebody who would care for and nurture him. He's probably talking about the ideal wife. But what I've gotten from his post, he wants a girlfriend at the moment, but is not ready yet to think about marriage.
I say stay friends until you are passed that stage of going out and partying. I mean keep her close as a friend because you never know down the road if both of you don't have a current bf/gf in the future you can go after each other when you're ready to settle down. The worst thing to do though is to lead her on and keep her waiting that long, just stay friends. if you can't do that without wanting to be bf/gf then cut her off if you don't want to ruin her.
so you say she's like a mother but are you looking for a mother? would you date your mother? would you want a second mother? do you have to date someone that you like right now, or can you also date someone you could see yourself maybe liking in the future?
do you start all your threads with
100% DEAD SRS
and end with
discuss.
@Fluxxxxx: lmao wow that totally flew over my head
[quote=TheZigen]@NoobCake: i didn't know how old u are. Maybe like ten years then[/quote]
I thought that it was obvious from his post. He said he knew her for 5 years, and that he was in grade 9 at the time.
But in all realism, I don't think you would get along as a gf and bf from what you have written.
[quote=NoobCake]Nah she ain't Asian, she's brown
5 years down the road I'll be 25. Hell ya I'll be clubbing and drinking, you nuts?[/quote]
Brown as in Indian or Paki?
If Paki, forget about drinking with her.
@NoobCake: i didn't know how old u are. Maybe like ten years then
if you dont love her dont date her i guess
[quote=RitoPls]"(she takes some type of medication that doesn't allow her to consume alcohol, plus she wouldn't drink anyways)"
Oh no.
I only have two deal breakers: obese and doesn't drink alcohol.
Is she Asian? If she's Asian, maybe I'd consider it. But then I read the last sentence of your post and no, just don't do it. Like on one hand, you don't need to love someone to date her because you should fall in love with her over the course of your relationship with her. But since you said you care about her, I wouldn't.
I need to know: is she Asian?
Oh my God she's probably an Asian qt. Go for it![/quote]
Nah she ain't Asian, she's brown
[quote=TheZigen]Like five years down the road ur probably not gonna want to be clubbing and drinking so if that's what u want right now then get a girl who will do that with u. Maybe things will work out with ur friend down the road if she doesn't find herself someone who fits her bf criteria
Don't waste ur time and don't waste hers[/quote]

if you genuinely care about her it is probably in your best interest to remove yourself from her life
you are eventually going to ruin her innocence is the impression i am getting from your post
lol
to hangout, sure.
its not like being a friend is bad.
*deep stare*
dnt do it
