You'll probably get a lot of different answers to this question. But all I can say is why not? My personal opinion is GOOD friends make the best relationships if romance blooms within it. I can't imagine anything better than having someone who you desire romantically being your very best friends. Imagine all the things you could do together and be completely comfortable with each other?
That's just my opinion though. I wish you all the best and hope your heart finds what it desires!
