9 Things Nobody Tells You About Falling In Love With Your Best Friend

The first thing I said when I realized I was falling in love with my best friend was: “F**k”. It happened right before my eyes: the guy sitting across the table turned into the person I wanted to kiss at the end of the night. It was an electric feeling… an explosion, and I suddenly realized that everything was about to take a new turn in my life.

When you start dating your best friend, you have a lot to gain: a protector, undeniable trust, and a feverish determination to make your relationship work. But you also lose a lot and learn a lot. Read on to find out why taking on the challenge of dating a friend is a difficult feat, but at the end of the day, it’s totally worth it.

1- You will know exactly what the other person is thinking

You don’t have to worry about trying to read your own best friend’s mind because you already know what he or she is about to say. So, while a relationship with someone new often involves a lot of questions and moments to get to know each other better, with your best friend you can cut a good path because you already know him more than anyone. You won’t have to play the guessing game this time.

2. Intimacy is funny… at first

After exchanging so many stories about intimacy you’ve had with other people, you probably never imagined you’d be doing it again. But you’re comfortable enough to laugh at the fact that, yes, it’s happening right now, and you feel very safe. But after you’ve been intimate a few times, the laughter will subside, the romance will ignite, and the intimacy will likely be pretty good.

3- You will wish the day had more hours

Time: you’ll want more than that. At first, you won’t be able to get enough of each other. Now you can do the things you’ve always done as friends and things people do as more than friends. While you will want to spend the entire day together, there are other people in your life who need your love as well, like family and the rest of your friends. Never forget that!

4- You won’t stop having fun with each other

You already had a lot of fun together when you were just friends, who will say now that you are best friends and still boyfriends. Life will be much more beautiful for you right now and it’s time to make the most of it together.

5- You will have to find a new best friend

When you were best friends you relied on him for support in times of sadness in your past relationship, but now as you are boyfriends you don’t have that best friend you can talk to and it reminds you of looking for a new friend or tell your family members.

6- Planning a dinner will be totally fun

“Want to order a pizza instead of going out to eat” “Yes!” and you guys agree to stay at home and watch a series on Netflix together, things you already did before but now with a little more intimacy 😛

7- You already know each other a lot more than you think

You’ve never been afraid to tell this person how you feel, and that’s not about to change now that you’ve entered a romantic relationship. If you’re angry about something, you’re less likely to hide it and more likely to open up to him. Your best friend already knows what pisses you off and when it’s time to stop. And you won’t hesitate to remind him, lest he forget.

8- You will worry about things that weren’t so important before

Your best friend has probably seen you without makeup quite a few times. Because really you never cared so much about producing yourself when you were next to him. But now things have changed and he is also your boyfriend as well as your best friend and you will worry about looking beautiful for him, with makeup and very sexy! You will have so much fun together!

9- It’s worth it

No one will ever tell you to go ahead and fall in love with your best friend because of the risk factor. If everything goes wrong and things go wrong, there is a chance that you will lose someone who is a very important part of your life. But you will also never have a bond as strong as the one you share with someone who truly cares about you, supports you, laughs with you, and is also completely in love with you. There are a lot of crazy decisions you are going to make in life, one of which is to give in and let it go. It will be worth it!
