There are two sides to every coin. Do you agree? We had done a story on why it is best for women to keep a male best friend as just that, a friend. Then we got to thinking on the flip side and all the reasons why the risk would be worth it. Take a look and let us know if you agree or disagree.
There is no need to hide the real you or pretend because they already know you
A friend is familiar with you – your likes and dislikes, your opinions about various things in life. All this makes the person much more compatible than any random person will ever be.
They know your past, whether it comes to education or relationships. **sigh**
When you date a friend, you know exactly what he or she likes or dislikes. You are also aware why their past relationships bombed. You are almost spoonfed on how to woo the person in question and you also know what can be the cause of woes. And in case you realise that you have made a mistake, you would know how to get 'dumped' by choice. **wink**
The feeling of being truly comfortable when in someone’s company is the best
Since you have known each other for a while, there will be absolutely no awkwardness and you will be quite comfortable in each other's company.
Your family knows them and vice versa
You’ve already met and slayed the dragon, who probably likes you now. So a small battle won there. Dating a friend means your family members are also aware of your partner and his/her family. If you are looking for a meaningful and long-term relationship, this is actually a good thing.
You both have a lot in common
Dating your friend means you will be having a lot of things in common. It will only make the relationship more smooth because you will want to do the same things when together.
Well, that’s a lot taken from Shah Rukh Khan movies. Plus, it doesn't change the fact that these are all good reasons to give this idea a shot.
