Aw, man. Those can be great and terrible. Losing a best friend because the dynamics didn't play as an SO is really a shame. Not to say all relationships that go this way die completely, but it's hazardous. Ideally you're SO _is_ your best friend, but so many other things come into play. As Monk would say, "It's a blessing... and a curse."
