Debbie! I have done it and lucked out that we are still best friends to this day. However that's not usually how it ends up.

It never sounds like a good idea.
My best friend of 5 years just poured his heart out to me the other day. I'm worried our friendship won't be the same....we shall see....

Yes, I have had friends come to me with problems and many times they transfer those feeling into something else...even women friends. Thanks for everyone's opinions, much appreciated.

Personally, I think that depends on your friend and YOU. No matter WHO a person is, I have learned NEVER jump into any relationship unless you have a LOT in common; REALLY Know Each Other. That includes Interests, Values, Religious Beliefs, Outlook, etc. BOTH must be completely honest UPFRONT to see if there is something even available to work with. BOTH must be willing to compromise as long as it is for the Long Term best interest of BOTH. And while opposites attract, they DO eventually push apart. Consider the compatibility of a North and South end of magnets. They DO wind up pushing apart... Do your homework and ALWAYS proceed using Common Sense. And WATCH OUT for the Sales Persons who only represent THEIR best interests!
BTW: Where the heck you been Debbie? Long time now see you around here!!!!

Go with the flow and it gonna be awesome if your guys still in friendship after broken-up.
You are scared of losing your friend then you might miss the opportunity having a good partner

Only if there was a mutual attraction and we had similar goals...
From experience the attraction was one sided or we had different goals so I'd have to pass on that.
