Friends to Dating

When two people are friends for good amount of time, boy and girl I might add, they grow very accustomed to the other person. I'm talking from personal experience. Sometimes friends is all they ever will be and sometimes they become more. Now I've been best friends with this girl for four years, it's not super long but in friend years is a considerable amount of time.

Anyways, not only have we been friends but we've always had a thing for each other. It has always been harmless and never got into the way of our friendship. Now I've always had a girlfriend so the possibility of us dating was always very slim. Don't get me wrong I would have loved to date her but I can't really explain why I didn't because I don't really know myself.

Moving on, just recently we both got out of relationships where we had been dating the person almost a year. She still isn't over him which I understand because she was completely happy and he cheated. Now me on the other hand I very unhappy and I decided to end things with my partner. So at this point I'm happy where I'm at and trying to have fun. We start hanging out more because we have time for each other now. Then something happens, it has happened before but to me it felt different and more passionate this time, we kiss. At first it was just a peck and we went on about our business, no big deal.

We then go back to my place where we are enjoying ourselves and having a good time soaked in each others company. I begin to laugh at something she said when all of a sudden we become extremely close and begin to passionately kiss. I'm about to jump off subject for a minute so bare with me. In the four years we've been friends we say "I love you" because, we do in fact love each other. It's a friendship love, and a lot of the time a dating sort of love. Now speaking of love we're not in love but instead just love each other.

Okay, back to where we are kissing. When we are passionately kissing I begin to realize how I really feel about her. It begins to make me very nervous. Now mind you I've been with a fair share of women so I really don't get nervous interacting with girls in any way. I become confused as to why I am nervous, it's not just love anymore. I am IN love with this girl, falling if you will. When I realize this I get this overwhelming urge to date her.

But remembering back to earlier, she isn't ready to date anyone and I probably shouldn't because I just got out of the dating scene. So jumping forward to this week, I begin to be in very shitty moods when I don't get the chance to see her, when we talk on the phone I become very giddy and annoying to be people around me. Almost like a 13 year old girl would when she's "in love". This is very odd for me because I'm not usually this soft but it's refreshing because its a change in feelings. To conclude, I have become very frustrated in waiting but I need to be patient and ruin things by speeding them up. As a closing quote I was once told "Friends to lovers means no secrets. It will work if both people are ready".
