Because it's February (1): Four Reasons Why Falling in Love With Your Friend is the Best Thing in the World

I believe that in a relationship, the man and the woman should remember that above everything, they are friends. Having said that, I really think that the best relationship comes out from a well-established friendship.

I know a lot of people get scared when they suddenly feel like they are seeing their friends on a different level. Well, yes. You know, "What if it doesn't work out? I will lose a friend." or "It would be awkward.". And yeah, it's true but I still like to believe that it could be the best thing that will ever happen to you.

One good thing about falling in love with your friend is that you do not have to impress him everyday. He has seen you in your pajamas, sporting messy hair and specs when you were just friends. Though it would be nice to dress up for him from time to time, it's still nice to be able to just be your couch potato self and ironically look homeless at the same time, yet he will still cuddle with you.

Another thing, you most likely share similar interests... and vices. Compromising is important but wouldn't it be cooler and more enjoyable if you do something together because you genuinely like it, and not just because you need to compromise?

Because you are good friends first, you already know a lot about each other. There would still be good and bad surprises here and there in the course of the relationship but for the most part, you already know him like the back of your hand.
You could tell if he's mad, sad, happy, excited, scared, etc. and because of that you would know how to act around him. You would know when he needs you to keep quiet or when he needs a long tight hug. And at the same time, he knows you very well. He knows how to handle your moods. He knows when you need to just scream you lungs out when you are angry or when you need to be alone. He knows when you need a tub of ice cream and a One Tree Hill night because that's the only TV series that makes you feel better when things just get too heavy.

And isn't that what we all want? Someone we don't have to please every single damn day. Someone who accepts the chaos within us. Someone who sees the worst version of us and still think we are amazing.
