Falling in love with my best friend was "utter nonsense!" But it actually happened right before my eyes: the person sitting across from me who knew so much about my embarrassing past became the person I wanted to kiss tonight. It was an electric shock; I felt like I'd been struck, and suddenly realized that everything was changing on a massive scale.
When you start dating your best friend, you gain a lot: a bodyguard, undeniable confidence, and a passionate heart that keeps your relationship going. But you also lose a lot and learn a great deal. After reading this article, you'll understand why taking on this challenge was a difficult decision, but in the end, you'll find it's all worth it.
To accurately understand his/her thoughts at every moment
You no longer need to rack your brains trying to guess what he/she is thinking because you already know what he/she wants to say. Therefore, starting a relationship with a stranger usually involves a lot of headaches, because during this time you have to participate in this game of guessing what the other person is thinking.
A sex life that starts awkwardly but ends interestingly
After sharing countless stories about your sex life with others, you probably can't imagine doing this with yourselves anymore. But now you have every right to laugh at the fact that yes, it's happening, and it's pretty wild. After a while of intimacy, the silly giggles will fade, romance will kick in, and the sex will be absolutely amazing.
Is there really only 24 hours in a day?
You want more time together. Now you can do things together that you always did as friends and things friends couldn't, so you're no longer satisfied with just the two of you being together. You want to be together all the time, but there are other people in your life who need your care, like your family and friends. Don't forget them!
They just couldn't stop teasing each other.
If you're always teasing him about his obsession with childish video games and he's always picking on your weird shirts, then don't stop now! The only difference is that the playful fighting will end with a warm kiss on the forehead instead of a playful punch to the arm.
The unease and fear residing in my heart
You might lose the most important person in your life—your best friend and your partner. If you argue, you might seek help from family or other friends. And you try not to think about what will happen if these suggestions don't work, but as tension and anxiety creep in, you sometimes can't help but overthink.
Incredibly simple dinner plan
Your planned first date dinner might turn into "Want to go to that pizza place we used to go to?" "Sure." You might tear up the bill like before, or you might end up with crumbs all over each other's faces like in the past, but it feels incredibly comfortable.
Arguments are easier than you think
You've never been afraid to tell this person how you truly feel, and that won't change even after you become a couple. If you're angry about something, you'll tell them the truth instead of hiding it. He/she knows what makes you angry and when you'll calm down. You no longer need to worry about reminding them in case they forget.
Start paying attention to your clothing
Most of the time, he/she sees you without makeup and wearing a sloppy sweater. Because you never put any effort into dressing up, but now, in front of this important person, you've developed a great interest in your appearance. You'll enjoy this new change.
But it was all worth it.
No one will ever tell you to boldly fall in love with your best friend because of these uncertainties. If things go wrong, you might lose someone very important in your life, but you'll also never know that there's a strong bond connecting you to the person you love to share with, someone who truly cares about you, supports you, teases you, and may even love you. You'll make many crazy decisions in your life; if you encounter one, let it happen.
