it can... depending on how both feel about one another. but youll sorta be risking ruining a friendship if the love doesnt work out well.

I was BEST friends with this guy all through out high school, and when we separated for college we realized how much we missed each other and that there was something there. So in essence, yes I feel like platonic friendships can grow into relationships, but also you should know that there's no turning back from that point. Our breakup was horrendous, 2 years later im still not 100% over it.

It can be hard to go from a platonic relationship to a romantic one. there is a big difference and it may seem awkward. it's not uncommon for one of the parties involved to have a crush on the other, though. You can ask the other person how they feel about it and if the answer is I would just rather be friends, then let it go. Don't take a chance on making them uncomfortable and losing your friendship. Good Luck!

I've been in the same situation..an I actually talked with her about it..but we decided that it was best to keep being friends and I agreed because knowing her she had a lot of problems and had been hurt a lot by guys..so were still friends an its one of the greatest friendship I ever had...I seriously wouldn't trade it for anything in the world..

There could be love because you know her so much..but would u take the chance to hurt her? Or be by her side an try to help her unconditionally when she needs you?

Talk with her about it maybe she feels the same way.. Good luck

Absolutely! In fact, I have found that the best relationships start as friendship. Being friends mean you already care about each other, and love can grow in such fertile soil. My husband is my best friend and we've been married almost 12 years, with our devotion still strong and growing stronger. I love him very much and I know he feels the same way about me, and neither of us would ever do anything to hurt the other. I wish you luck and love.

YES! the best relationships start off that way but i will warn you to becareful because there is a point where that person can only be a friend because yall have know each other for way too long and if you cross that line you can never go back to the way things use to be.

Sure thats the best way to start a relationship! Those are the best ones because you know each other well and all etc. My bf has a best friend who is a girl she is very nice he is very fond of her and I can see why she is a nice person. I wish to one day have that kind of friendship within our relationship and I think the success of our relationship so far is really just we are friends first.

Most relationships start out as friends. I take it your asking somene you've been friends with a long time. I have had that happen to me. I also think many times people who hand't thought about someoen that way after years of dating kind of realize the person I should be with has been in front of me this whole time so yes I do think this can and doeshappen.

The one thing I will say is I also think theres people who are friends with someone in the hopes of them developing feelings for them over time and I wouldn't count on that happening. YOur basically just going to be torturing yourself and its not like its going to work out that way in most cases but it does happen.

He definitely fell for you, Hon. Now all you have to do is to keep in touch using letters, e-mail, fax, etc. For the second question, you're right, Hon, but sometimes this is not the case. What if he had a accident? Or maybe misses you so much that he doesn't know what to write (foggy mind)? So, if he doesn't write for a while, don't give up. Anything is possible. I hope I helped!

Ok the definition of Platonic friendship means that neither side has feelings for the other. If someone develops feelings it is no longer platonic.

I would say yes because I was friends with my girlfriend for a year before we started dating two years ago. It has worked out well for me but I have seen friendships get ruined due to it for other people before. It can be risky, but love is worth it. So yes, friends can most definitely fall in love.
