After scrolling through limitless losers on Tinder, it’s no surprise that a number of men and women turn to their best friends — not for solace, but as potential romantic partners. In a study released Thursday by Bravo Media, more than 1,000 people between the ages of 18 and 54 were polled to see if the risk of dating a best friend is worth the possibility of finding true love. Turns out, of the 76 percent of respondents who said they’d struck up a relationship with their best friend, 29 percent resulted in marriage. Sadly, only 51 percent got their best friend back if the relationship went sour. Men, perhaps not surprisingly, seem to be more game for the possibility of a romantic rendezvous with their BFF than their female counterparts. Seventy-six percent of gents are open to a romantic relationship with someone they consider a friend, while 73 percent have had sexual fantasies about that person (versus 58 percent and 51 percent, respectively, of women). But getting intimate with an acquaintance can cause more harm than good. Sixty-five percent of participants confirm they’ve seen friendships destroyed by attempts at dating, and 60 percent have seen entire friendship groups dissolve by the same. Fifty-four percent of men would hook up with a friend if it came with no strings attached, versus just 22 percent of women. In fact, 42 percent of women would rather be celibate for the rest of their lives than have sex with their best friend. The one thing men and women can agree on? Planning to woo their friends in case this whole “dating thing” doesn’t work out. More than half of the respondents would consider marrying their best friend if they’re not married by a specific age. Want to see these stats in action? Tune in to the premiere of Bravo’s upcoming social experiment, “Friends to Lovers,” on Monday at 10 p.m.

Who is the longest couple in we got married?

Nickhun (2PM) and Victoria (fX) They were the longest lasting couple ever on We Got Married, lasting 456 days!

With news that We Got Married will be coming to an end in May, after a 10-year run, I wanted to take a look at some of the best idol couples on the show!

Yonghwa (CNBLUE) and Seohyun (Girls' Generation)

The Goguma Couple

They were the first idols to get paired together, on the show, in early 2010. Known for their sweet but respectful relationship, the two instantly became many viewer's favourite. Yonghwa wrote a song for Seohyun called "Lovelight," and many K-pop fans still ship them together.

Jo-Kwon (2AM) and Ga-In (Brown Eyed Girls)

Who would have thought this couple would work? Jo-Kwon being loud and sassy, and Ga-In with her cool, chick presence. Ga-In opened up to Jo Kwon’s unique style and showed off her more feminine side.
