Did you ever end up dating a best friend?

I used to hang out with this girl in middle school and highschool back when I was a little guy. We were great friends, and often talked to each other about the people we were into. I eventually started to get feelings for her though, and it became tough to hang out with her because of it. Eventually, in high school I confessed my interest in her and it in turn destroyed our friendship I believe. At first it wasn't bad, because she kinda accepted it and then was like, it's okay, we can still be friends. But she slowly stopped talking to me and then we just never hung out again.

I knew it was because of me confessing my interest in her, that she no longer bothered to hang out with me. It sucks looking back, because she was an awesome person to hang out with, and was a great friend to me. But I blew it by sharing too much. I often think what would happen if I never said those things to her. Maybe we would have been friends to this very day.

Have you ever confessed your love or interest in a friend? How did it go? Did it destroy the friendship or change it in some way?

Yeah, my first real relationship was like that. We were best friends for a long time and we ended up having feelings for each other after awhile. It was fine at first but we ended up arguing a lot because we were both going through some tough times with our families. It's really sad because it completely destroyed our friendship. We were so close, if feelings hadn't gotten involved we probably would have been friends for a long time.

You were in the friends zone and scared her off.

I've never dated my best friend because I don't date my male friends. If I want you I'm not going to want to be friends with you.
