I got married to a friend who was was known to me for 8 years. We were good friends for 4 years, but after 2 years, I started to feel that she has all the qualities that I was looking for, in a partner, but was nervous to check if she felt the same. We disclosed this to each other after another year and then started the real test of our life which took away 4 years of our precious youth. But we were very clear that we will not get married in the absence of our parents or without their knowledge. Once we got married, another phase began and everybody knows how a working daughter-in-law would be treated. Nevertheless, we are happily married now for 8 years. I always feel it is good to get married to a good friend if it is acceptable to both. If you get married to someone else, it will be difficult to carry on with the friendship unless you have a very understanding partner and you will be risking both the relationships.

Hello Nepoleon!!!! Good to know about your experience.i agree that your best friend can also be your wife too.But for this certain small wet tests are there: before going ahead to propose her look for the qualities you want in your wife..then take decision and for few moments till you have come out of the dilemma hold on your emotions not to impact your decision.Once you are through then again life is good as usual.At least you saved two lifes/friendship by realising it prctically if your friend doesn't suit your hopes. Just think buddy how romantic you will feel when you will have your best friend-now-girlfriend-now-wife in your embrace and thinking of the happy times.It fills in a very powerful energy with in us.I think little brian with a pinch of hope and a bookay of emotions will make your life full/content and happening. And when you have done this much ground work you have to wait when your partner understands it,spare sometime boss for this and you will reap fruits in your coming life.Else use body alnguage..and then tell her frankly how you wanted the relationship to grow.And the girl will have two options then only.No third to confuse you more as you have done the ground work.She will agree or deny and go back.In that case also don't worry ans let her go back because there is someone elsr for you.And guys if you realy loved to read the topic & you are not the type who use & play with girls..stayaway from boyish bettings to do s'thing which you'll regret later.
