Can you marry your best friend? - Page 2

No unless I have romantic feelings for the person.

I think everyone is "in love" with their best friend, its a different kind of love though, the kind you have for your dog, mom, or and old class friend.

And if you begin to develop romantic feelings for your best friend, then they are no longer your best friend....Now don't jump to conclusions...THINK ABOUT IT...

You are beginning to develop feelings for your best friend...do you tell them? NO! You wait, right? You begin to become more aware of yourself in front of them...you no longer complain to them because you don't want to sound like a whiney turd. You no longer tell them things that make you seem like a complete loser...right?

If anyone disagrees, they are totally lying!!!! LOL. Once you start feeling romantically toward your best friend, they longer remain your best friend because you begin distancing yourself. You dress better when meeting them... wearing jeans rather than your sweats, you put on make-up, wear your hair down instead of in a bun, and you wear your heels rather than your beat up sneakers...

See what I mean? You hope and want them to feel the same way you do before you completely put yourself out there, hence you "probe" into their feelings by asking questions like "We're good together right?..." or "Can you imagine us in the future..." leaving open-ended answers...hoping not to hear a "buddy" or "pal" at the end of their statement...

Best friends have their place and significant others have their place, its best not to mix the two...thats my 2 cents...

i duno, i feel like a best friend is like a sibling, its really awkward seeing a friend in place of a lover or vise-versa.

soo agree with that.

I think it varies for men and women.
For men they might marry coz of the physical and personality aspects while most women marry for security and comfort. So it doesn't really matter if he or she is your best friend, at the end of the day if you think it can work and you are ready to make that commitment as well as live with your decision, so it all depends on you.

i wouldn't mind marrying my best male friend, because at the end of the day, i always wanted someone to be able to just understand me, and even if there is no love in the beginning, we could always start to fall in love during the time we would spend together...

the whole idea of your best friend wanting to marry you is soo ewwww and icky,specially if you have NO feelings for this person.in our country people believe in only 2 kinds of relationship between a grown up guy and a girl-either siblings or bf-gf...why dont people realize that "Friendship" even between opposite sexes is possible?and it doesnt mean you have to feel a certain brotherly affection for him or imagine him to be your potential BF?whoever said that friendship is the first step towards love is an absolute spiffing moron.if i fell for every friend i have,id have multiple BFs all at the same time.awkward,much?so i have no issues about Mahi rejecting Shiv in the first place even though he is gorgeous and a thorough gentleman and every girl's/gay guy's dream man.if she doesnt see him that way,its not her fault.

But as Roshni explained to her,she cant view him as a backup option just coz her other options are running out.that is simply mean,and poor Shiv doesnt deserve it.like the old adage thats applicable for Shiv.. "never make someone a priority if that person treats you as an option"..For Shiv,my advice is move on.No point pining over someone who doesnt feel that way for you.For Mahi,keep looking,there's someone who will finally understand you.Gradually she might even develop feelings for Shiv and reciprocate his feelings,as long as he waits for her(which is a possibility,since Shiv himself admitted that he wasnt ready for marriage yet)
