My vote is still up in the air. My ex-best friend and I tried dating, and we barely made it to the starting line. He ended up driving me crazy, and god love the guy but he's very...Disney, for lack of a better descriptive. I'm still not quite sure he lives in the real world, but as we no longer speak to each other, it's not really an issue for me anymore.
I picked up a new best friend over the course of a few years, and we can tell each other anything, he's one of few people I'll let haul me out of bed at 2 in the morning for anything...and he has a girlfriend. I'm HUGELY impressed that I'm not an issue for her, since we spend way too much time together.
And here's my dilemma. Do I really want to date myself at the end of the day? We have a few different interests for example. I would never listen to his music for one, and he can't believe I'm into Patrick Dempsey like he's a religion (In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit *wink*). But ultimately we lead the exact same life more days than not, and honestly it just sounds a little...boring heh. Maybe it would be nice when we're retired, but in our 20s? I've got a planet to conquer.
So I'll weigh in as: I think if I get married, he'll grow into my best friend, but I'm not sure I could date an existing one. And that's all I have time to say since it's taco night.
