Need help with dating a friend!

[greenmonster50]

Ive been friends with this girl for well over a year now. Shes a few years older than me. Our friendship has been great. We have gone a vacations together and had good times. We can talk about anything and have lots of common intrests. I told her how i felt in the past but she was dating someone. recently things have moved from "friends" to more than "friends". she has stayed the night and there was kissing and cuddling but nothing any further. We talked today about it and she said it was weird "dating" her friend. She said that she had to remind her self to show me more affection now that things are diffrent. I feel like she shows plenty. she said in past relationship she never did that but had also never dated a "friend" what can i do to figure this out? i really connect with her and feel great when we are together i just want this to work out.

Dating a friend could always be hard. That's what I know from my past experience.

one thing you need to think about is whether you would want to possibly risk losing this friend, it's really not easy to do
