    My best friend asked me if he could be my boyfriend. I thought he was joking because he used his serious face and voice(he would do that with jokes before). I then saw his reaction and I felt bad for laughing. I told him I did not want to loose our friendship. He then explained why he wanted to date me. It was hard for me at first, coming from a bad relationship. This relationship was very different in a good way.
    We have been happily married for 5 years. We have a 3 year old and a 1 and half year old.
    Even when we argue or disagree (not often, but happens) about something instead of calling a time out I say I need to talk to my best friend...he says the same..lol it works.

      I don't think the romantic type of love is special. And I am started to think that the romantic type of love isn't real. I mean about more than half of romantic couples either break up with each other or divorce each other, while most platonic best friends remain friends until death.
      I think that having a platonic best friend is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse is. Having someone who's like a sibling to you is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse. Also, you are more likely to be much more closer to someone who's like a brother or sister to you than you would be with a romantic partner or spouse.
      People tend to fight with their partner or spouse a lot more than they do with a platonic best friend, and you never fight with your best friend the way you fight with your partner or spouse. Partners and spouses are just temporary. If you break up or divorce them, it's hard to go back to them. With your platonic best friend, you're going to make things work, because they are your best friend, they are your go to partner. It's always easier to make amends with them than it is with a romantic partner or spouse.
      Romantic relationships are pointless, while platonic relationships are not.

      What is there to write down? You can hear this cliche shit in literally EVERY romantic movie, and in 99% cases it won't work in real life. Don't get delusional. These TikTok videos are deceiving. A girl can take that cringe soy choice of words if she likes you initially. But then again, you don't need to use them in this case, you can just casually say you like her and the result will be the same.
      I personally don't understand why do you have to ask her to be your gf. If she likes you everything comes off naturally without excessive words.

      I hope and pray that you will overcome your illness and regain your health. The God has power over everything, and if He does not want it, not even a leaf will fall to the ground without His permission. So don't lose hope. Maybe He gave you this illness so that you could seek and find Him.
      If you really want to thank The God, do not associate anything with Him. If you want to live on the right path until you die, put your forehead on the ground like all the prophets and Jesus did and ask The God to guide you.
      If you really sincerely want to find the truth and insistently ask The God for help in this matter, He will definitely help you.
      May The God Almighty heal your body and soul and give you all the best in both world and protect you from tormenting of the blazing fire.

Through God’s Holy Spirit, The Blessed Virgin, Mary, was conceived of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is therefore God made man. Incapable of sin because of his divine nature. It was imperative for God’s purpose that in the form of God The Son, that he should possess both human and divine natures. So that he could walk among us as one of us knowing and acknowledging all our human frailties without succumbing to them. God used His Beloved Son as The Way, The Truth and The Life to teach and convey to all God’s children that the only path to Him, God, is through believing and following the teachings of his Son, Jesus Christ. The most important being, that we should love our fellow man as we love ourselves. Without love, we are nothing, because :

    Excellent story. I’m a middle-aged man. Been through a lot of different relationships and situations. My advice for anyone crushing on a close friend falls under two categories:
    If you only kinda like them, just forget it. Enjoy the friendship, maybe try to put a little bit of distance to maybe help you like them a bit less. Unless you have reason to believe they have feelings too. Then just go for it.
    But if you REALLY like them, might even be in love with them, you HAVE to tell them. For both of your sakes. One of two things will happen:
    1 - They will reject you, and you should end the friendship to be able to move on and eventually get over them.
    2 - You will find out they like you too, and you can get married like this dude.

I need to see how you treat homeless people, admirable people, peers, what does your love look like when you’re really comfortable and stop wearing “pick me” masks. Are you demanding? Are you submissive? Are you spiritually led? Are you above pool chicken-fighting the frenemy couple from down the street? How do you win? How do you lose? Are you my intended? Will you go to extremes to make sure that our domicile is one of peace and love? Can you cook? Will you learn? If we go on a day hike, are you down to clown 100yds from the path?

    My best friend since middle school asked me to make a pact with him in 9th grade, that if we both weren’t married by the time we were 30, we’d marry each other. Well, when we were only 18, right after high school he had a horrible accident. He fell 12 feet onto concrete while bike riding and broke his neck in 2 places, fractured his skull and had bleeding in his brain. He very nearly died. We were inseparable from the day he got home from his 8 week stay in the hospital, we began dating and were married just 6 months later. It’s 15 years of marriage this year and we have 2 sons. The “friend zone” is sometimes just a really comfortable and natural place to be that builds a genuine relationship and core friendship that will sustain much longer than any other kind of relationship. He’s still my best friend. 💜

Sounds to me like his accident made you realise what you could have lost and made you look at him as more than a friend.
      Glad he's ok tho and something good came from his horrible experience.

And the other guy who she had dated for years and broken up with but was still talking to, told her she should be with him. And she said she knew it was me but that kind of sealed the deal in her mind. As soon as he said that she called me. We were married 6 months later and have been married for 7 years now.

If he tried it and then tried to manipulate her into marrying him so as not to break his heart, he would get a rejection or just pity. He said his piece and told her it was OK if her feelings were different or if she wasn’t ready or if she decided not to marry him. He left the choice entirely up to her, gave her time, and continued being her friend. He loved her and was also a true friend to her.

    Great to hear. This is similar to my wife and I. We have known each other since kindergarten. Never dated throughout school, matter of fact, never really even payed attention to each other. About 5 years after school, and I had done military service, we ran into each other at a mutual friend's wedding (to be honest, it was a subtle setup). For a year or more, we hung out as friends, filled in for each other when we needed dates for events, just had a blast hanging out with each other. Util one day, I looked over at her and there was a whole different feeling, my heart fluttered, I just felt different. I knew I had to tell her, and if she didn't feel the same way, we needed to back apart. Wow, she felt the same way. This October, we'll have been married for 30 years. We've had a few squabbles, but no fights. We've been through some real tough times and some real good times. We've done it together. Good for y'all. I truly believe that marrying your "best friend" give you a real strong foundation to build your life on. I hope your next 30 years are as happy and filled with love as ours have been. Looking forward to the next 30!!

      Wow. Seeing comments like this make me wish I had smartened up a lot earlier in life, and maybe, just maybe, given the good guy a chance. The kind of guy who would say things like that 👆🏼☺️ God bless you and your wife, may your marriage be filled with everything you need ❤️

    Awwww that’s so cute congratulations
    I just got friends zoned
    To everyone who got friends zoned try to not be sad but de happy to stay friends
    Because if you are still friends is that you are enough mature to realize that the person love you as a friend and that won’t change no matter if you tell them that you have feelings for them

      @@myriamlegault7122 Just curious, since I can't see Honda's response to you. Are you saying your 15?
      If so, let me give you some general advice. I'm a woman who is married to her best friend, and I was the one who asked him out. I dated guys before I dated my best friend, and in general I found when guys are younger than 25 they tend to not want to marry, many want serious relationships, but when marriage becomes a reality they get cold feet, can become resentful, or just straight up realize you aren't the one they would want to marry.
      I would suggest in the pre-25 years to build friendships, focus on learning about yourself and learning to love yourself, so that when you do date and/or get into a serious relationship you know your own boundaries.

    He is one of the fortunate ones because the majority of the time even when you lay your feelings out just like this...you still get rejected and kept I'm the friend zone if you allow it. I'm happy that his story worked out, but I wish that this could be true for everyone.

      What do you mean “and kept in the friend zone?” So you were just there in her life as a predator and not really a friend 🚮
      Possibly why you keep getting rejected

      @@MM-we4no first of all I'm in the same relationship that I've been in for the last 8 years so rejection isn't an issue. It's also pretty bold to assume that desiring someone's time and attention is "predatory". Sometimes the feelings for another person are so strong that rather than risking losing their presence in your life you would rather suppress your own feelings for fear of driving them away. So let me ask you this...Would it still be "predatory" if the roles were reversed? Or is it just because this specific instance is predicated from the male perspective? Is it wrong for someone to want to be loved and try to build a bond with someone before actually getting into a relationship with them? Is it wrong to try and build trust before opening yourself up to another that could hurt you? Is it wrong to be nervous about rejection? You may need to lay off the feminism and come back to a more rational reality.

    My daughter is now two years into a beautiful relationship with best male friend from school. It took them 8 years to realise they were perfect for each other. Its a great decision and they are really happy.
