Best friends make the best lovers. You have already created the base that is part of true love,communication. It is easier to get through the hard times because neither one wants to see the other up set. I say go for it

Exactly my situation too......& it works FANTASTIC.

The only thing wierd (besides our mutual friends declaring "Well, DUH...you guys are perfect for each other, we've always know that!") is catching 'that' look from her across a crowded room & having a momentary shock of "Holy c**p, I can't believe I'm in love w/ 'X'!"

Takes a while to get past that....

I suppose it COULD happen...

I however, feel more comfortable keeping the two separate....

I'm convinced it can: I've had male friends whose opinions were always initially that they only thought of me as their friend, but it eventually bloomed into more.

I can work out. Google the ladder theory. You were probably on his relationship ladder, He was on your friendship one. Now that you see him in a new light, he has moved onto your relationship ladder making a relationship with him beyond friendship possible. Men only have one ladder the relationship one, and how desperate he'd have to be to have sex with you determines what ladder you are on.
You hear all the time of people that meet again after many years, or at a high school reunion and marry, so give it a shot.

oh yes im sure it can.and thoses people are lucky cause when u have known someone all your life for example and then start dating them there is no surprise cause u know that person inside much more than someone new that u meet.its way easier to fall in love with them.

Absolutely...happened to me...although to be honest way back when there already was some attraction/curiosity but I sure as heck would have never expected it to develop into full blown true love down the road...but no it didn't work out to happily ever after altho he had suggested it twice...but I hope it works out for ya

Absolutely; it happens all the time; a relationship is friendship so this is a great way to have something happen in life.

I think that's why internet dating can be so treacherous. The relationships move so fast and many are lovers before they are friends.

yes. but he is just separated and in the stages of moving apart from his wife. I wouldn't be getting all excited about the possibilities, just yet. He needs to be free first, emotionally and mentally.

I hope so. I like a few girls and i'm thinking of asking them for group orgy. I'm not sure if they are ready for that. I am considering becoming a muslim because they can marry about 4 wifes. Girls go for that. I believe in lie and lie more. I hate how this goes on the message thing on my profile and the girls might just read this. Just imagine the fun and games. It would be full on porno sex every night. OH well i guess im too old for that every night. I think if i win tattslotto i would live a double life and father 200 children just like me.

No, not ever, people never go from friends to lovers, just doesn't happen. And who would want a friend for a lover, I mean come on.

I guess he's not a close friend, since you didn't even know he was separated, and while it could very well turn into a romance, the fact that you jumped from a nice talk in the park (what's a timmie, were you drunk?) to what a great husband he would make, well that's kind of scary. If he shows up, don't assume too much, maybe he's just looking for sex or maybe he's just looking to talk. How long has he been separated, and how is he feeling about his marriage ending??? There's way too many unknowns for this to go from casual friendship from the past to your love of your life come true, in one afternoon. Take it slowly and see if you are both interested in each other and also, make sure his marriage is really over, if it's just a breakdown in their marriage you don't want to be the I Was On A Break! girl who interfered while they were trying to work things out. If this is something that can work out, then let it happen at it's own pace, if not, be careful of making a fool of yourself.

Is love not supposed to grow from friendship to begin with???????????????????

I sure hope so, because I have become good friends with someone I care a great deal about and am hoping above all else it does turn into true love. We have expressed some romantic feelings for each other in the recent past, but are going very slowly so she is very sure it will be good and I won't be anything like her last abusive bf.

Personally, I would be concerned about the potential for reconciliation with his wife and/or that you could end up his rebound relationship; that's why I won't even consider dating men who are separated. But if you can manage to stay "just friends" until he's legally divorced and seems truly over it, who knows... Personally, I don't believe true, lasting love is possible without frienship.

The worst relationship I have ever been in, was with a man I had never developed a freindship with. We never sat around and just talked.

I have to agree, that being friends as well as in love is the best combination.

just be careful and start off slowly. he's been separated and going through some emotional rough patches at the moment

Yes, friendships can turn into love if you guys have strong compatibility between the two of you.

Good luck!
