unexpectedly falling for your longtime/close friend success stories

Has this happened to anyone here, or anyone you know of?

 

You're close friends with someone of the opposite sex for a long time and one of you two unexpectedly fall for the other... and find out that the feeling is mutual from both sides.

The heart doesn't choose who to feel for and love. However, you two need to decide if the friendship is worth more than a relationship that may not work out. We all know how break ups go.

lol.. I'm not in the situation, but am just wondering if there are any success stories from this happening.

Well, my bf and I were "online friends" for like, 3 years, and never met up because he was firstly the friend of my now ex-bf, and we both didn't think it was appropriate to meet up even as friends, while I was still dating my ex. My ex never bothered to introduce me formally, as his gf, though we dated for 3 years.

 

My bf and I never even exchanged phone numbers back then. We'd only chat in online games and via MSN. It wasn't until I was dealing with a break-up with my ex that he gave me his number and said I could call or text if I needed him. We finally did meet up, about 2-3 months after the break and did started dating within the year.

 

I do believe love can blossom between long time friends. Good friendship is the basis of any good relationship, I feel.
