my best friend and I both think we love each other beyond friendship, but is it worth the risk?

[Kim in Australia]

I have been very best friends with this one boy for around 5 years and we can talk to each other about pretty much anything and seem to just click in almost every way. Lately he has started suggesting that he thinks there is something more then friendship there. I really like him but I am more worried that we are only just past our mid teen years (I'm turning 16, he's a few months younger) and usually those relationships don't work out brilliantly for much longer then a few months and if it ended would our friendship be ruined?
Basically the question is, is it worth the risk to give it a try? Or should we just stay friends?


Your help would be greatly greatly appreciated!!

This is a subject you both are going to have to challenge. If you feel it right to move on then by all means move. Do it in small steps so you both can see and feel your way around to whats happening. Just remember to talk with one another about everything. With the feeling of moving your relationship forward can be a big step. Good luck and best wishes

As Stephen posted, I think it would be best to go in small steps towards making your friendship into more than that. Don't jump into it too fast. Best wishes!

If you both love each other than yes its worth the risk because first of all you already know each other alot so you know what he likes and vice versa. So i say to go for it

You miss 100% of the shots you DON'T take. Take a risk.
