The best relationship I ever had was built from a friendship. She became my best friend and then my girlfriend. And then she dumped me for another guy, lol. Ahhhh.... love is fickle. laugh laugh

I believe starting off as friends is a way to start a relationship, that way you get to know one another likes and dislikes.

It should be, but often friendship is lost from sight, by one party or another. Too often are elements separated when they should be united, alas I can only pray the union will be true someday.

"many people" are wrong



... Many people believe that the best relationships start out as friendships. What are your thoughts on that?

Actually I did too. Seems when I've met people they either went into the hmm maybe category or friend category. I don't think I ever cross sectioned. laugh

Friendships takes time to develop ...


Attraction can be immediate and then blossom into a deep fulfilling relationship...

I don't have that much time.

I don't think you have to start out as friends, friendship can develop.
It's more natural and flows better if your friends first... doesn't mean it can't work out...all relationships grow as they continue, hopefully :smile:

But isn't it worth it to put time into a relationship? No relationship can stand on "I thought you were hot" alone.

So those in the hmmm maybe category you went right for? Isn't it good to know someone for who they are as a person before jumping right into the whole relationship thing?

Well, I guess in that way you could say yes, friendship came first. But it went right into more if it was going to. Otherwise, they stayed a friend. flowerforyou

I dunno. The best crush I ever had lasted two years because for one reason or another we couldn't be together. But we were friends, and we hung out in a group, and we flirted like hell. But we couldn't date. For two years. It was amazingly delicious when we finally hooked up.

Waiting can be good. drool

And? What's worth your time? If a relationship isn't, you probably shouldn't be in one.

friendship = commonality + empathy

sex + friendship = intimacy

intimacy - friendship = sex

I prefer that there be a sexual spark from the beginning . . .
