<p>Do it. I was in a similar situation as you. I had a really good girl friend whom I wasn’t “in love” with, but did have feelings as more than a friend. I wanted to be something more with her for months, but never had the courage to do it, and even had girlfriends while her and i were just friend. However, one day near the end of one of my relationship with another girl, I was with the girl I liked, talking to her about how I was distressed, etc. and knew that my relationship with the other girl was over. As cliche as this sounds, right as I was complaining to her, we kissed. Neither her nor I know who did it first, it was sort of mutual, but it happened.</p>
<p>That was in September. Her and I broke up a couple weeks ago, the third time we had done so since September. However since we’ve broken up before and gotten back together, I’m hopeful that we’ll get back again. Trust me when I say this, but being in a relationship with your best friend (or in my case, very close to it) is the most amazing thing you can experience. It really is too much for words, but if it works out half as well as mine has, it’ll be amazing. Words really can’t describe it. </p>
<p>It really is a chance, a big one, but one you have to take. You can gain as much as you lose. You can forever change your life in a good way or bad. The only thing left to decide is if your want of her as more than a friend is greater than your fear of losing her as a friend.</p>
