Don’t Date Your Friends

Asking out a good friend is not a good idea. It can be extremely awkward for the receiving party and possibly sabotage the existing relationship.

You may be thinking, “you know… we have so much fun together and she would be perfect for me. We have the same friends, I know her parents, and I know that ‘The Notebook’ turns on the water works.”

If you unveil your emotions or “true feelings” to your friend it will most likely result in ruining the friendship and her avoiding you for a while. Hopefully she will forget shortly and your now strained friendship can resume.

If the foundation of the relationship is not based in a sexual way then the emotional unveiling will not work. The vibe of your friendship will have forever changed, even if she assures you after rejecting you that it won’t.

It may sound like I am being negative, but I am only trying to prevent you from damaging a potential life long friendship. From past experience and talking to other women who have gone through this – it’s a bad idea.

What you need to do:

1. Don’t talk about your emotions to anyone on this subject, don’t give it life..keep that crap inside.

2. Go to a website like http://www.plentyoffish.com/ and check out 20 hot single girls to remind you that there are in fact other single women who are looking and available.

3. Be glad you have a great friend and leave it at that

    Dead on, bro! I have had several mail friends (of little chemistry) try to date me, including a friend of 8 years. It completely destroyed our friendship. I wish I had been firm in my convinctions about remaining friends only.
