i asked out my first boyfriend. We were good friends at the time, he told me that he was planning on asking me out on the same day which is why he invited me over. We always joked around about me beating him to it. First kiss on the same day
it worked out nicely for us. Second and present boyfriend was also a best guy friend, one day he let me know that he liked me, i took awhile to get back to him, worried about friendship and what not, i said yes awhile later and we're still going strong.
it's great when your best friend becomes your boyfriend.
