Transitioning from long time friend to dating...
I'm debating on whether I should do it or not.
Background information:
I'm 22 and i've know this girl since I was 12. Basically when we first met there was instant attraction but of course at that age due to immaturity and a number of other factors we never got together. However we were really close friends for those 2 years we went to school together and kept in contact ever since. There have been a lot of ups and downs which I won't really get into that much, but anyways the point is recently we have now been in the same area and she and I are both thinking about giving things a try...
If we get together it could potentially be something very special that has a wonderful friendship as a base. But on the other hand, if we were to get together and it didn't work out what would happen to the friendship?
