When the idea of dating a good friend is put to us, the following thoughts often materialise: "Friendship Zone", "He/She's just a good friend", "I don't like him/her like that", "He's hubby/wifey matter, but not for me"... etc. Well, two good friends have decided to date under experimental conditions. Fatigued with the conventional way of finding partners, they thought to give this a try. Both have been good friends for years. The rules: 1: We will see each other every day for forty days. 2: We will go on at least three dates a week. 3: We will see a couples therapist once a week. 4: We will go on one weekend trip together. 5: We will fill out the daily questionnaire and document everything. 6: We will not see, date, hookup, or have sex with anyone else. By rule, you'd also need a willing/able participant and (for ethical reasons) try not to be psycho. But this experiment has actually bore fruit; they will actually start dating post-experiment! Take *THAT* friendship zone!!! Participants need not be infatuated with each other from the outset. They need only a willingness to try. So, the next time you try to date your friend, why not present this plan to them to optimise your chances (hehehehehehehe)   Read more about the original story here (not my blog ): http://fortydaysofdating.com/[size=3pt]... and that makes 5pm! HOMETIME!! Hehehehe!  [/size]2 Likes |

maxwello.yg: Dating most of my male friends would be incestuous!! But they are good men. Hmmm, maybe it was never the right time. For me, for them, for us; it was never the right time. However, I don't believe I could grow to love all of my good friends. Impossible. But I think we can often give open chances to the wrong people and stifle the chances for others who are perhaps more deserving. I think this experiment is interesting and maybe a consideration for those who have problems sustaining relationships. It's a model for commitment but it won't work for everyone. I'd personally wish to omit the therapy rule! |

Flytefalls:Why wouldn't you wanna visit a couple therapy? Yeah, I understand the fact you don't imagine yourself falling in love with your guy friends, that's one effect of friend-zoning a guy.(how much I hate being friend zoned by a girl I love) I also agree, this idea may not work for everyone because ideas differ from person to person. However, I know that as much as somethings don't worth experimenting on, this one worths it because so many people fall in love with the wrong partners and for the wrong reasons with hidden secrets. It's best when two partners come out clean and say what's on their mind and give a stipulated given time and see if things can work out fine and peacefully. |
