you cant love someone before you know them but there has to be a romantic spark there to start.

Sometimes that spark, fireworks or whatever that tells that you could be the one, just aren't there, and it is easier to be friends because we are comfortable with you. You wouldn't want us to lie to you and say sure maybe, and then nothing happens, would you?

i guess it's a lack of experience at a fairly young age, but all the men i know only want to be my friend. and frankly, i'm kind of getting sick of it.

Sometimes it happens like that. You aren't going to find the one for you easily, trying to find love, a soulful, intense kind of love easily. It is going to be difficult, sometimes maddening and other times you will want to give up. You can't, you have to hang in there and just build your friends up.
Hang in there.

I just replied to a couple of guys on the mutual match.And came right out and said I need to be best friends first before I can go any further.Have not heard back so I guess they wanted more, then to start off as friends.I think we all would like to find our soul mate.But for me it's friends before passion.Good luck to you.

yeah i don't understand after you talk with a guy they espect that one thing from you right away but you tell then you just want to start off friends first then they stop talking.. its hard i trying again an most of the people are either one too old for me cause yes im sorry but age is a probably with me or that they are really too far from were i at so its tough this time around some reason...

I agree pkh, if you can't learn to be best friends, how are you going to get along when it is just the two of you when you are old? You have to be friends first, as the relationship grows, feelings tend to grow with them.
I would love to meet my soulmate, if there is one out there, I can only hope that we are friends first.

Age isn't that big a deal, but I am have a set group in mind and don't usually deviate from it. My ex husband was 7 years younger than me. The last guy I dated was 5 years older than me. So I figure, 5 years above or below is safe.

HI CANU!!!!!!!
