Talk it out with this person.

And think to yourself,
"Do I really want to risk our friendship, for a relationship that might not even work out. And if it doesnt work out, would we ever get back to normal?"

You have to take all things into consideration, they might be worried because if you guys do date, and you break up, where does that leave you guys? Probably in a very awkward situation.

Having a best friend that is the opposite sex (or same sex in some situations) can be a problem, especially if you start to realize that you like this person, and want to actually be with this person instead of being just the "best friend"

Discuss the pro's and con's. And try to talk about what if you guys do break up. Tell them where you would stand in that situation, and be honest about it. If you break up and think that you would stay away from that person, tell them.

But dating your best friend doesnt always have to end up bad, sometimes it ends up the best thing to have happend to you.

Take me for instance, I am dating my bestfriend. And we are totaly happy.
But it does have it's down falls, you cant go to your bestfriend and talk about your boyfriend/girlfriend because they are one in the same.

It can get complicated.
But if you are truly willing to risk your friendship, talk to them about it.
