Stay friends, don't date, no sex
If she doesn't believe in premarital sex and you do, it will never work. She will probably regret it if she gives in and has sex with you. She might resent you for it. Stay friends.

i could not date a close friend.. at least not yet.. :P i agree wih Godiva.. don't date her for the sake of dating.. why make things more complicated if you already have a beautiful thing going on? unless of course both of you have something more special than just friends.. then that's a different story. IMO, people often fall for friends..cos they know each other better.. most of the time it doesn't work..whether or not it works out.. i think if he/she is a true friend, the "failed" relationship should make your friendship stronger and more exciting..

word of caution
Well I don't think you should date your friend just for the saking of dating. It certainly doesn't sound like your desperate for a date since you're dating others. So unless you're both having some strong romantic feelings for each other, I wouldn't do it. I have a male friend who I've known since childhood and I think there were times in-between relationships when we considered dating each other but fortunately that never happened. I'm married and he's married with kids now and we're still really great friends and our spouses are totally cool with it for the simple fact that we never dated. I really don't believe we would still be friends had we dated. I have not remained friends with a single ex-boyfriend/lover who once was initailly just a friend. So I'm just saying think it through if you truly value the friendship.

I think dating a friend is the best way to go, especially if you really feel like both of you are mature enough to handle things if your relationship should go sour. I think you should go for it!!
