Is it bad that I flirt with my best friend?

Yep, a year and going strong :love:

. Well would you be able to stand it if he went out with another girl? No harm in trying :rolleyes:

Congratulations! :smile:

I wouldn't be able to tell unless it happened, if you know what I mean? I'd probably be upset, and definitely jealous, as I wouldn't be able to see/talk to him as much. I understand what you're saying about no harm in trying, but what if it went wrong? I never want to lose him :frown:

Well that's what happened with me and my boyfriend, (Rob). We were best friends said I love you etc everything and one day he got me to admit I liked him and he admitted it too. But i was scared too and I told him that. Then he said the smartest thing ever. He said that there's no harm in trying because we can't go back to normal now anyway as we know there are feelings involved in this friendship, if it doesn't go right we'll be able to be friends. I guarantee it will go right, if not, you can still be friends. It won't ruin anything.

Being too scared isn't an excuse :rolleyes:

A moment of silence for our fallen compatriot.

Though the friend zone may have taken him, he will always remain in our hearts.

My best friend and I are, well, best friends. Neither of us feel anything more for the other, and we both like other people, however, we flirt quite a lot and tell each other we love each other (in a friend-type way). It's just that I'm a girl and he's a boy, and while I wouldn't even think about it with my friends who are girls, is this weird?

This:

He is obviously dying inside and wants you, when he says he loves you he really means it. When he says he likes other girls he's lying. He knows he's been friendzoned and being friends is the only way to maintain a relationship with you. Simple broscience really.

By virtue of the fact that you posted this you are either unsure about his feelings or somewhat less than certain about your own...Maybe you are both friends but I suspect that he secretely fancies the pants off you and you are in denial about your feelings for him.

Anyway, if you don't believe us then get really drunk with him (just him) and see what happens :rolleyes:

Edit: Yeah, just read the rest of the thread...We did try to warn you!
Unless you really aren't attracted to him at all I think you should give it a shot, you've let the genie out of the bottle now anyway, might as well have some fun with it :tongue:

I wonder if it's ever possible to maintain a really close friendship between a girl and a boy without at least one developing feelings for the other?

It is possible, if, to be blunt, the guy thinks the girl is ugly.

If he thinks she's hot, then you're gonna have a bad time.

Well she/he has commented on a couple of my threads, but I've never actually had a conversation with them. I get the impression that a lot of people don't like this person?

It's a she. Well, it seems so; I don't dislike her, I just find a lot of what she says misinformed, naive and a bit silly. And she was ranting on another thread about this kind of thing.

Honestly I don't think she even needs to be hot, as long as she isn't completely unattractive then it will happen.

Was that supposed to be a double negative or not? I'm slightly confused by what you're asking considering the context.
