if you end up going out, be prepared to face the fact that you may break up. if your friendship is as strong as "family", could you still be friends if you broke up?

it's kind of all or nothing. he's your best friend, what do you stand to gain? does it outweigh what you could loose?

good luck

well, if you are good friends and he is into you, and you like him back, then my advice is go for it, most relationships are based on trust and without a good friendship or foundation a relationship won't go very far. Obviously you already have a basic foundation for an amazing relationship.. and on those terms i would say yes-go for it!

The idea of him being seen as family is good in one aspect- you're parents and family know him/of him and won't ask so many questions about him, wont feel the need to interogate him-if he is already like "famlily" then they have already aproved him.

I think you should go for it if you do like him.

But be sure he likes you back so it isnt akward!

you're friendship won;t be ruined if you are good friends, but it is highly understandable that you have concerns.

For that reason i think you should be completely sure he likes you back, and then take the above adive regarding building on the founsdation you already have in the relationship.

I hope this helps..
