This is the worst of the Catch 22 situations. If you date her and things don't work out, you may lose your "best friend" If you don't date her you'll always think, What if?

Start with a pro and con list. Seriously! Literally write on paper a pro side and a con side and see which gets more answers.

And then if the pro side is fuller I think openly discussing this with her would be a good. But then, if you do talk this over with her, the cat will be out of the bag and there will be no turning back.........so choose your words carefully!!!!!!

And bear this in mind.......when you date or marry someone, you date and/or marry their family. There is just no getting away from that fact unless you and she move miles and miles from where the family is!

Good luck hotrod.........I am not sure this helped or made things worse!
