He Slept With His Best Friend From Childhood, And Then She Said That She’s In Love With Him, But He Doesn’t Want To Date Her

This 26-year-old guy has a female best friend from childhood who is 25, and they have been close since forever.
His mom and her mom are best friends too, and he suspects their moms got pregnant within a similar time frame because they wanted to raise their kids together.
So, since he can remember, his best friend has been with him every single day pretty much. They would walk to school with one another, and spend time together when school was done for the day.
“She’s my best friend and she means a lot to me,” he explained. “When I hit that age of realizing women were attractive I was attracted to her. I still am attracted to her.”
“She’s pretty and we get along. I do have a thing for her but it’s like I’ve been pining for years . I see her as a sister and would never want to do anything that would make it awkward for us.”
But, when she turned 13, she admitted to him that she was only interested in girls, and that’s all she dated until high school was nearly over. Because of his best friend’s confession, he pushed down his feelings for her.
As he and his best friend grew older, they never grew apart. They each have been through some tough things over the last several years, and that has only brought them closer together.
He and his best friend take turns staying over at one another’s apartments for weeks on end; that’s how close they really are.
“We’ve always been nice to each other and saying “I love you” or “love ya” is not uncommon,” he said.

“But lately it’s been more. Not to sound like those people but we’ve literally laid in the same bed facing each other just talking about how much we love and care about each other.”
They even ended up kissing last year, and have kissed a couple of times since then as well. Not too long ago, he and his best friend wound up sleeping together, and then she said that she’s in love with him.
“I told her that I love her but I don’t know if us being in a relationship is the right move,” he continued.
“She agrees but seems like if I were to ask she would say yes to a relationship. I’m just really worried. We’re both at low points.”
“And we both really need each other as friends more than every right now. I’m just worried about losing another close person. This loss would hurt more than anything else. I don’t know what to do.”
Do you think he should take a chance and start dating his best friend?
