Most times, you get these feelings unexpectedly, and you won’t be able to track when or how it started. You often feel like spending more time with them and get jealous when they spend time with the opposite gender.

Developing feelings for your best friend is challenging; you’ll be scared of them not feeling the same way and wanting to remain just friends. However, if you manage to pull it off, your relationship will blossom because of how well you both understand each other. Below are some things you should consider before dating your best friend.

Is it a good idea?

It is not wrong to date your friend because all relationships start as friendships. In addition, your history as friends will positively influence the relationship because you’ll know their likes and dislikes. Finally, your trust in each other will also facilitate a healthy relationship.

How long should you remain friends before dating?

Although it’s essential to be friends before going into a relationship, there is no specific friendship timeframe. The more you spend time with them, the more you’ll get to know them, so what’s important is understanding each other.

Don’t enter the friendship with the sole aim of developing a relationship because you’ll analyze their characteristics more to decide if they’re a good fit, and that can make the friendship short-lived.

How to transition from friendship to dating

Transitioning from friends to lovers can be fast and natural. Of course, it begins with you catching feelings for them and confessing these feelings. After you tell them how you feel, they might not immediately answer you. However, watch out for subtle signs that show that they feel the same way.

If the love is unrequited, you don’t have to blame them or yourself for anything. Instead, be grateful that you found out on time instead of chasing a lost cause. Finally, talk to them to know if you can remain friends and if you can’t; it’s best you part ways.

The only Relationship Advice you will Ever Need

 The Only Relationship Advice You’ll Ever Need Danstel 24, July 2020  You may already be rolling your eyes at the vast oversimplification of this title… and if you were to go back to read the many articles I’ve written on relationships, you’d know that I don’t think the secret to romantic success can be boiled down to one simple piece of advice. However, if people ask me what is the most important action we can take to improve our relationships and stay in love, I do have an answer, and that is to  just be kind . Yes, the suggestion seems obvious on one hand, but it’s actually really hard for most couples to take at a certain point in their relationship. Many people I’ve talked to resisted the recommendation, responding with statements like “I can’t do that, or “why would I be nice to him/her?” To understand why we have this resistance and why we often find it challenging to simply be kind to our partner, there are three important concepts to consider: Fear of Intimacy ...

What's Ruining your Sex Life?

What’s Ruining Your Sex Life? Danstel17,2020 Sexuality invites us to be in the moment, connected to our body, our senses, and to another person. Yet having a “ critical inner voice ” sounding off in our minds during sex is a little like having an extra person in the room critiquing everything from our desirableness to our performance. These critical inner voices take us out of the experience, remove us from our bodies and leave us disconnected from our partner, robbing us of the precious aspects of sexuality. It’s probably no surprise to hear that research has shown that having higher self-esteem and a more positive body image is correlated with increased sexual satisfaction. On the other hand, negative thoughts toward ourselves heighten our stress levels, which can  decrease sexual satisfaction . One recent  study  showed that measures of self-esteem, autonomy, and empathy were positively associated with sexual pleasure, ...
