We must to look for friendship before to look for love in a dating scenario.

Do you agree?

Nope. Don't agree. I think that most formulaic dating "systems," get in the way of building any serious close relationship. Even "rules" that do make good sense, such as waiting for sex until it's an emotionally good idea for each person, can backfire if it is artificially applied.

I do agree. The beginning stages are the same as building a friendship in a way. You would be friend zoned anyway if the chemistry isn't there. I wouldn't date someone I wouldn't want as a friend. If you are good friends in the first place and then try to turn it into more that doesn't work well but if it is someone you just met or are distant friends I think it works very well

Do you agree?

If you're the type of person that doesn't believe that men and women can be "just friends" and neither you or anyone you date has any opposite sex friends, then I would agree.
People that are really bad at communicating need to analyze their relationship and determine "where they stand" by externalities and benchmarks


If you're the type of person that believes men and women can be "just friends" and you, and/or they, have lots of opposite sex friends, then I would disagree.
People that are really good at being "friends" are going to have greater incentive and momentum to not look for love in order to avoid damaging the "friendship," and to validate the belief that men and women can be "just friends."

i.e. if you believe men and women can't be friends, then looking for friendship behaviors and attitudes becomes a means of understanding the relationship to overcome crappy communication.
If you believe men and women can be friends, then looking for friendship behaviors and attitudes before love becomes a hurdle.
