reader, anonymous, writes (12 April 2011): Don't worry, I found myself feeling exactly the same when I became an item with my best friend :) When you've had a platonic relationship with someone for a long time it can take a while for the dynamics of a romantic connection to replace those of simple friendship. Don't try to force it, the feelings are there beneath the surface for both of you; you'll find it becomes more natural to relate to each other as boyfriend and girlfriend over time. Even after months my boyfriend and I often behave towards each other as we did before when we weren't together, but it doesn't change the fact that we're in love - it's more of a habitual response than anything else. It's early days for you so just relax and do what comes naturally. Good luck and take care!
