Friends before lovers?

[jerkbox]

it could work....but in my case i pretty much lost a good friend as a result....no, not good friend....a very very close friend.....ahh well....

i dated guys who were friends first...it never worked out. but, we were able to remain friends after we stopped dating.

well i asked a friend out i guess, but i only knew her for 2 months or so before hand...things are good now but i hope we stay close when the inevitable happens...which it will

i think it can be good, but if you let things get to the friends stage it becomes more hard to actually get her. i tend to have a disposition towars the friends thing, and hope she develops feelings....and decided not too with this girl and it worked.

so i'd say if you are interested in a girl, make a move quick, and if you become friends then go for it...if you break up amicably there's no reason you still can't be in each others life

crew9: no i don't like her but, if they don't work out it will be weird when i hang out with one or the other, and i'd have to watch what i say too.

you must have only 2 things for a good relationship
you got to be attracted to them
and the kitty has to be smokin

from zero was it mutual or was one of you pursuing the other when you got together with your friend, what was the reason for the breakup?......... what happened to you happened to three of my friends which furthers why i think it doesn't work

It was mutual. We both had feelings for one another, so we decided to give it a go. We became incredibly close. She was like my best friend and my girlfriend in one. Breakup is a long story, so don't worry about it. The bottom line is, I often feel like shit because of the whole thing ...

Friends before romance has never panned out for me. If I grow to think of a guy as a friend then that's where he'll stay in my mind even if we both decide for some reason to try to make it into something else.

And on a related note.....I find it impossible to really throw down with a guy once we develop a real emotional relationship. Its like once we really get to know each other and I care about his opinion of me I feel too inhibited to really kick it with him so the sex gets pretty tame. For me at least really hot sex and love are a difficult combo.

 

[kunta]

really hot sex alone is good enough for me

Friends before lovers absolutely rocks. I'm in such a relationship now, although she's out of state.

Sometimes, being friends with someone allows you to see what you would have previously missed out on.

Yep. I was friends with my 1st girlfriend then we dated for 3 years. I was friends with my 2nd then dated to 6 months. I was also friends with my 3rd and we're now engaged.
