We spend most of our lives searching for ‘the one’ – that person who accepts us as we are and loves us despite our flaws. Could it be that this person is actually much closer than you thought? Assume your best male friend has feelings for you and wants to take things a step further in their friendship. What would you do if you had the opportunity to save your friendship?
In this article, we explain why a relationship with your best friend can be beneficial to both parties.
1) Understanding at a profound level.
It’s impossible to match the depth of understanding between the two of you. The days of bickering over trivialities like who had lunch without whom or why your phone calls went unanswered are long gone when you’ve known each other for so long. If that wasn’t enough, he won’t give a second thought to any of your odd habits that others find cringe-inducing. He’d probably find it endearing.
2) He’s already seen you get irate.
In the beginning of a relationship, he already knows how you respond when you’re angry. This will help you both get over your bad temper faster and smooth things out faster, whether you cry or throw things. He’s more likely to understand how you behave if you do both.
3) He has no interest in the past.
You’re less likely to be embarrassed about disclosing personal information about your past when talking to a close friend. Actually, he may already know all of your secrets and even better, he won’t judge you. You’ve probably met each other’s ex-girlfriends, shed a tear or two, and moved on with your lives. You can now focus solely on one another.

You don’t have to worry about being judged for the things you share with your friends, as you might with someone you haven’t known for as long or as well. You can even share your wildest fantasies and random crushes on teachers. In addition to keeping your secrets safe, this can help you two become closer.
5) As a team, you can be each other’s best critics.
With him as your friend and lover, he can give you the best advice. And he’s always there to give you some honest feedback, because you can trust that he only has your best interests at heart. He’s the best person to judge you because he knows you best, and you know him best because he knows you. Furthermore, the assistance that you two can provide one another would be greatly appreciated.
6) Respect is an essential part of any relationship.
Successful relationships are built on mutual respect. This takes time to develop, and you’re already halfway there with your best friend by your side. In a relationship, knowing that the other person has a great deal of respect for your values, morals, and principles can make all the difference. Moreover, the duration of the event.
