I always cringe when young men start threads about the "friend zone" and how they don't want to be put in the "friend zone" etc...They don't know what they're missing. And finding the "right person" and a life-mate isn't as easy and simple as shopping for new clothes or a new car etc...It can take a long time to find a "good match." And being friends first with no pressure or hidden "strings" seems like the best way to find out what people are really like. (Versus rushing into a love relationship "sight unseen" with "unknowns" lurking all over the place!) This is how I feel anyway. Good Point! |

Toodygirl...I honestly believe that my marriage lasted and survived all of the "storms" because it was built on a solid friendship...My husband and I couldn't stay mad at each other for too long because it was more fun to go back to being best friends again and "playmates!"

I would marry a best friend because she would know all my secrets. Most single men, do not even have a Lady Best friend. I mean a platonic friendship, not one with benefits. If it was platonic she'd know all my secrets, who better to marry? Point is, You would have to find this woman and then be friends for years platonic friends. Why be friends for years and marry, why not sooner? |

Why be friends for years and marry, why not sooner? Friends aren't made over night, takes time to really become good friends. |

Couples should start off that way; maybe less divorces in the country. |

Close Friendships first may help in finding that match.  Many people just break up after dating a short time and many divorce, after a few years of marriage and move on. |

You never Really know a Person Online. It is the one on one that lets you know them. Spending time in the Past with those I met Online is how, I really got to know the Real Man. |

If a Older man has a lady best friend, would she be the right one for him, should he decide to get married some day? I say No, men rarely marry a best friend, especially if he has known her for some years. Men like excitement and she is not that. If an older man (and/or an older woman) wants to marry at all, a best friend is probably a good choice. Being friends is an important part of a relationship, IMO. But then again...what do I know? |
