I was just wondering but doesn't it feel weird that you're dating your close friend or someone you have known for quite some time? I just feel pretty awkward to me? Opinions?
I wouldn't be able to tell you :/ Imo, there's not a HUGE difference between the two things. One's just slightly more intimate and shows a deeper level of affection.
Honestly, it's going to depend on the individuals involved in the relationship. If they make it awkward, it'll be awkward, but plenty of close friends that I know have ended up in a relationship together and they make it work. It's different for each relationship. At a younger age, I think it's probably more awkward for the participants because of the lack of social experience that comes with being older.
I dated my best friend for 6 months and then we broke up and we are still best friends. I'd known her for a year before we dated and it's been almost a year since we broke up. We're still close as anything and for us it's never been awkward. I have a new girlfriend now but my best friend is still my soulmate! I'm no longer sexually attracted to her but we just click in a way that I haven't with anyone else and I wouldn't abandon our friendship for the world. I love my girlfriend and I love my bestfriend in different ways. It's not awkward and it never has been, so I think sometimes it can work even if it's just for a while!
It depends on the people, and how comfortable they are with each other. Things are only as awkward as you make them I don't think it should be awkward in the first place though.
