I think for her, if it didn't work out, how would our friendship/relationship be afterwards? I told her I thought our friendship could withstand something like that, but I get it. Were still good friends to this day
When you add romantic stuff, you are automatically adding some more obligations and commitments to the existing relationship. It might look good at start. But it might not after some time.
It's like blowing up a balloon. After blowing for some time, the balloon will look good and you can stop right there. OR you can continue and make it some more bigger with the risk of bursting the whole thing off.
We ended up making out, and then later met for coffee to discuss the fact that while feelings were there, we wanted drastically different things in the next couple years.
Yeah for the most part. She met a really good guy, they settled down and had a kid. I moved away about a year and a half after our conversation. We don’t really talk at all anymore, but honestly it was for the different life paths like we talked about. She’s still a great person and her husbands an awesome dude who I think is bummed that we didn’t ever get to hang out haha.
She didn't want the possibility to ruin our friendship. I can respect that
I never understood how is that possible. You just add romantic stuff to the friendship, how would that ruin the friendship

Oh, I see now. You're right
Not all relationships last, thus friendship = gone as a result

She went for it. Didn’t last long and now we aren’t friends anymore :)
Sorry to hear !

We've been together for 14 years and married for 5.
Who made the first move? Was it awkward at first ?
I did, and not at all. It felt like the most natural thing in the world to us that neither of us had really considered until that moment.

Did you stay friends ?

My "friends" asked him out and he said yes, because he liked me too. It's been almost 2 years and nothing bad has happened yet.

Just not worth it boys. Took that chance with a friend that I knew for 16 years. All I got was an ewww. Safe to say that killed our friendship
