Think about the pros and cons before you make the first move. You must be sure that you want to date your best friend. Once you move from friendship to a relationship, things can change completely.

  • Step 2

    Find out what your best friend thinks about you. To avoid an awkward conversation with your best friend, get a mutual friend to bring up the subject. This way, your best friend doesn’t even have to know that you think of her as a possible partner.

  • Step 3

    Take things slowly when you date your best friend. Go out to dinner and get to know each other in a different way. Wait until at least the third date to go to the movies because of the intimate setting.

  • Step 4

    Talk to your best friend after your first date. Find out if the date lived up to his expectations and express any concerns that you have to avoid problems in the future. If both of you decide that it’s better to stay friends, don’t go on any more dates. You can salvage your friendship as long as you don’t try to force a romantic relationship.
