Childhood Friends

Not sure what you're asking exactly... if it's having interest in a purely platonic relationship with a childhood friend, sure, I see no reason to burn bridges that don't need burning.

If you're asking about a... different kind of relationship... I'd say it's cute, but simply basing it off the fact that you've been friends since childhood is kind of idiotic. If they have other qualities that are kind of prerequisite for that kind of relationship, then yeah, go for it, you'll already have a foundation to build off of, which is awesome.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you haven't seen them since childhood, it could be a little awkward doing ANYTHING with them, let alone dating them. However if you've kept in touch over the years, or especially if you've stayed friends with them over the years, and you both have enough romantic interest in each other to date each other, that wouldn't be awkward, it would be... well, it would be my favorite kind of dating relationship, where my girlfriend is also my best friend. That way (at least it's worked this way for me so far) if we break up, we're more likely to remain friends.

In short, it would be rad.

I suppose you could say I've had this happen... a girl I've known since we were 5 and whom I've shared a mutual attraction with since 14, I've gone on a couple dates with her, held her hand once when I was like... 16... hahah. But she lives so far away that it's tough to find any time together, and completely pointless to try any kind of romantic relationship - we'd just be limiting each other if we did that. So I've SORT OF been there, but ... not really.

EDIT: Domino, this is totally unrelated, but I see you play Battlefield 2. What's your player ID? That's the only game I play anymore, and I don't play it that often, but when I do I like to have competent soldiers on my team Normally I'd ask in a PM, but some people aren't in the habit of accepting PMs from strange forum browsers.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
