I'm going through the same thing. There's this guy that rides my bus, and I've known him for three years. I had always thought he was annoying, but this year (8th grade) we actually became friends and talked on the bus. And just like that, something clicked and I suddenly had feelings for him. It's like, one day you realize that you can't wait to see him, and you're just like, "when did this happen?" I'm kind of sad because next year were going to high school and I won't be able to see him anymore because we most likely won't be in the same classes and I'll be walking to school next year...

Oh goodness. Story of my life. It's especially difficult because we do flirt a lot (verbally and physically) and we even briefly dated last year, and broke up in a very ambiguous way before being in other relationships (which are both ended now).

This is a bit of a late reply but, ah well, might aswell join in!

I ended up seeing a close friend of mine and we had been close friends for about 2 years before anything further actually occured and, well.. it didn't really work out. I mean the physical attraction was there but we ended up running out of things to talk about and the things we did talk about felt a bit awkward at times because we were no longer 'just friends'. It's difficult to explain fully what I mean but the moral of the (my) story is.. dont date your friends, it gets weird!!

Agree with Tasha.

My bestfriend and I have had feelings for each other since grade 9 .. we're both going into second year university now .. so quite a long time .. but everything we get close to being 'something' stuff gets super weird. I'm not sure why! But it does. Don't date your friends, it always ends up bad! haha

Ah, we've all been there. haha. Well, I went out with someone who was a close friend actually and I discovered that I didn't like being in a relationship with him. I saw a different side of him that I wasn't used to or comfortable with, so I broke up with him. We ended up being a lot closer afterward, but if I stayed with him any longer I probably wouldn't talk to him anymore.

SO, I can't say "don't date your friends", because everyone is different, but I will tell you to just wait and see what happens
