Is it okay?

[celine5-5]

I have this friend who is really nice. After my x and I broke up, she revealed to me that she had liked me for a while. I told her that I was not ready to begin a relationship, because I was still "in love" with my x. I am not physically attracted to this girl, and I know that sounds really shallow. But nonetheless, I still like her because she is very nice. We even talk on the phone a lot, but we're not going out or anything. When the subject of her liking me came up, I explained to her that I thought we were too good of friends. Which is true. In my last relationship, I dated a close friend. She cheated on me, lied to me, and made me miserable. Our friendship was essentially ruined. More than anything, I miss the frienship we had. But I feel so guilty, I know she likes me, but I don't want to go out with her. And, I mean, she's so nice. She's even kind of introduced me to someone who wants to go out with me, this person is really attractive, nice, etc. But I can't help not feeling guilty for not going out with her. But I don't want to waste a good friendship on a riddiculous high-school relationship. I mean, if we were to break up, it would be because we're sick of each other. Isn't that the reason why people break up and divorce anyway. And I kind of have this intention of doing what I want, and what I feel like is best for me, which doesn't involve dating what could be one of my best freinds. So, should I feel guilty. Am I a horrible person? I want to be just friends, is that alright?

Friendship is a wondeful gift ... there is something special about having a friend with whom you can be honest ... someone you trust ... someone who trusts you as well ... someone who cares enough to tell you if you are making a mistake when everyone else just agrees and/or encourages you ... I have been fortunate to have those friends in my life ... and, quite honestly, friendship has been the starting point for the more serious relationships I have been in ...

If you believe in a long lasting relationship (friends, or more than friends), then my best advice to you is to follow you heart. Speak and think with your heart, not your mind. If your heart feels for the other person to be more than just friends, you should go for it. Follow what you believe in. Don't let others decide for you. Don't let others change your mind. Be your own person and make your own decisions. You know yourself best.

You're taking one experience and making it seem like future experiences for you will be similar. Relationships are risks (and I'm going to use a cliche), but if you don't take try, you will never truly know. My suggestion is... GO FOR IT!
