Dating after been friends
« on: November 27, 2007, 06:21 PM »



Is it always better to be friends before relationship.  I think some women feel comfortable knowing a

guy as a friend first. Me personally, i don't believe in the friendship before relationship thing.

Is either we are friends or lovers. What do you think?

u should stick to your belief if it works for u. there is no universal procedure for starting a relationship. its a matter of choice. Wink

Sorry I can never "date" a friend.  If we have been pals for over 6 months and "nothing" happened  you will automatically become one of  my "brothers" somehow--for lack of thrill--- and can never look at him romantically.  Can't imagine getting in bed with a "friend."   He will even start looking like my father or uncle. That kind of sex will suck to the high heavens!----Yuck!

I date first then we can become friends in old age---not before please!  I got too many friends for that!

Friendship?  ---  Please that is for old age, in marriage----no rush to befriend a potential lover abeg!

What type of friendship are we talking about here? Is it dating a friend i called my main pal?

i once had a good friend; he was my confidante, someone i could tell my worries and secrets to, then something happened that got him consoling me , and before u could say -  jack robbinson, we got kissing and , (use your imagination)
Anyways, we eventually started the dating game , and it was rosy for awhile, but not long afterwards the communication line started developing faults, we couldnt gather the momentum anymore, eventually we broke up, and the once wonderful friendship was lost - we just couldn't find it again!!! Cry

My advice, if you are so attracted to someone the first time, just go for it, and leave the hollabaloo of , "can we just be friends first?, " You re either lusting after him/her or just genuinely want to be friends! Focus on the reason!!!

Am in a situation right now, where am friends with this very interesting person lady, that really like she wants

are you aware of the saying . . . . .  'friends for a reason, a season or a lifetime'

You can have a friend for a reason and that reason is because you two may be going somewhere. You get what i mean?

None of the friends you have are on the same level, so you should not be afraid that if you become friends with someone then that's where they would be stuck.

I am a 'friend to relationship' kind of person. Yes . . .  there are some guys that I have started out as friends with and for whatever reason it never got to the next stage, we are still friends. Its not a bad thing.
