I'm currently going out with the girl who was (and still is) my best friend. We have our ups and downs, and things were really rocky at the start... but we pretty much live together now. It all depends on your situation. I had liked her a long time ago, but I put it away and even set her up with one of my friends. They went out for a year and eventually broke up. We got closer, and one day she just came out of the blue and told me that she liked me. (Actually it was one night about 3am we were working on a project together before the end of the semester, and she phoned my house. Angry dad inquired in the morning XD;;) I've learned things about her that I never even knew. She's made me the happiest person alive. Sure, I don't hang out with some of my friends as much as I used to but... she's worth it. I know it seems like this won't get sorted out for some of you guys, but sometimes there are happy endings to this stuff. Just hang in there!
