Having a Best friend from the opposite gender could be a blessing in itself. They can help us in every situation, give us emotional support and could be our therapists. But, all this is good until one of you starts falling for the other person, as turning a good friendship into a romantic relationship could be very complicated. Falling in love with your best friend can cause you to feel confused and trapped and could break your bond, too.

Here, we’ve listed a few reasons why you should never fall for your Best Friend.

Take a look:

Ruins the friendship

One of the major reasons why you should never fall in love with your bestie is that it can ruin your age-old friendships. Understand, just because both of you are good as friends doesn’t mean you will be good as a couple, too. Switching to a relationship will eventually lead to more expectations from them, which could affect your bond.

You’ll End Up Being Alone

Whenever you had relationship problems, you discussed it with your best friend. They helped you overcome your stress. Both of you would spend hours joking around how men are devils and females are witches, but in the end, you would know that there’s one person of the opposite sex who is not like that.

But after switching to a relationship, whom are you going to share your relationship troubles with? You might end up feeling lonely.

There’s No Going Back

When any one person confesses his/her feelings that’s the end. There’s no going back to friends again and things will not be normal as it were if the other person doesn’t feel the same way. If you’re lucky and the other person also feels the same, then this could be the best thing that could happen to you.

Insecurity and Jealousy

If you develop feelings for your best friend, you may develop feelings of jealousy and insecurity whenever they talk about someone else, making you feel less worthy. It can also lower your self-esteem.

The Worst Heartbreak

If things don’t go as expected, you just don’t lose a boyfriend or a girlfriend but a close friend too. No pain can ever define the heartbreak of losing a best friend. Agree? You will find yourself missing your friend who made you laugh your heart out and the one person with whom you can share anything without the fear of being judged.

Affect Your Emotional Well-being

Developing feelings for your best friend can lead to unrealistic expectations from them which can eventually break your bond and affect your emotional well-being.

Think twice before confessing your love to your best friend.
