: I have had some platonic relationships that I wanted to go beyond friendship. Which pretty much enevitably ruins the friendship when the other party does not reciprocate. For me, it was hard to keep the line between friendship and more because I looked for a best friend in my signifigant other. And happend to find that.
: But, I also have some that are strictly platonic and I could never see myself with. There is just no attraction at all. 2 in particular. I've known them for 13 years and have never, ever thought of them in any other way. They are like my brothers.
:::It will almost always ruin a friendship when you take things further. I did that once and promised myself to never do it again. You just end up losing someone you respected. It sucks. You can have a best friend in a significant other, but I have always found that it happened after being in a relationship for awhile. We eventually became best friends.
