they are both important things and huma n natur demands both[/b]
True, though I could name a couple of people who will deny it completely. It wouldn't be the first time I would get in a discussion about that reason.
but personaly i would have to say it depends.. there are alot of factors to think about like how good of a freind you are with that person [/b]
Exactly. That is one of the most important factors. Try to imagine this as a situation of yourself and try to imagine it with your best friend.
wether you think freindship or love is more important i think there is no true "right" answer it is all about what you think and not what other people think
[/b]
I am not asking advice, I am asking the opinion. If I had a similar problem, I would never base my answer upon the reactions of people I don't know all that well.
Theoretically both are in my book a friendship-kind. In theory, and my opinion, love also occurs after normal friendship. But then the question comes to me as well, would I pick the girl I love over the people I've hung out with since I was a kid? The choices remain hard.
The question of the thread remains a fact that you'd have something with the sister of one of those/your best friend.
my best friends sister is really ugly, fat and four years younger (im 18), also i don't think my best friend would care much at all. so no prob with me there.

The sister of a friend who is closest to my age is seven years older than me.
I don't mind ages differences much, but seven years for someone like me goes a bit too far. Not to mention that I like
younger girls. ("You're almost an old geezer.", "oh shut up, you're only a year younger than me.")
i personally, consider love more important then friendship. but then again, im single at the moment and have never had any long term friends (over 4 years). [/b]
I guess that makes the situation a little harder.
The people I consider my best friends are people I've known for quite some time. One of them for more than fifteen years, another for more than eleven years and one other for about six. The statics drop quite fast, but that's how it is for me.
As for the girls I know... well, I don't need any statics to get an average there.
so if these guys have been friends for a long time and still are friends, then he should seriously consider the value of that friendship before any drastic measures are commited.[/b]
For about a year of time, I used to use the nickname at MSN of 'People in love can do strange things,' which is something that is true. The name was related to myself at that moment, but eventually I learned that it worked a bit as a motivation to a few people who had a rough time at that moment.
don't even consider keeping it a secret, it will be found out, then you will have burnt that bridge to it's foundations.[/b]
Well, I, for one, wouldn't be able to just tell it to my "best friend" straight in his face that I am having something with his sister, despite him ruling it out more than once.
Love doesn't come around as much as friendship.[/b]
You could also turn this backwards. Good friendship doesn't come as often as love. Though they aren't really my words.
Besides it isn't your friends choice, it's yours. AND it is his sister's life too, if she likes you and you like her, thats unaminous (sp) Majority rules
[/b]
But are you willing to test and/or break the friendship with one of your best friends for something like that? I don't think he'll like it much if you would tell him you were having something with his sister. Most people aren't that fond of it upon hearing something like that.
