You think it's better to be friends first or to just establish a small bond before dating? I just know I've been in 3 relationships where I hardly knew the person outside of the 2 weeks I talked to them around my friends and stuff and then we started dating and after a week I learned more about them and I dumped them...and then I have had 1 relationship where I dated my best friend (still am) and that's been going on for 3 weeks, and we're both just as happy as before, as a matter of fact, we made love for the first time yesterday ... But it's nice dating your best friend, cause I feel comfortable with ANYTHING with her...like I had never given a backrub to her before, and I remembered when I was in Pre-K we used to make things for father's day that were coupon books for like, "Free Lawncare Service" and such...so as a little side present with her real birthday present, I gave her one for, "A free backrub- Not Valid in Nevada" and I had never given a backrub before, until yesterday...and it was nice cause she told me everything she liked and didn't like and it wasn't the least bit awkward What do you think?
Definately try and become friends before you start going out with them. I think it works out better in the long run. There might be little things about them that you dont know until you become a friend with them. Little things that just get on your nerves and drives you insane. so get to know them first. but thats just my opinion and I might be wrong.
so far in my experience dating your friend isnt a good idea, i lost? a good friend because things just didnt work out
I really go both ways on this. I love dating my friends because there is already that connection there, and you just need to strengthen it. I always think you wouldn't be friends with someone if you didn't like them. But the bad thing always is getting back to normal when(if?) things go bad. I've also found it can become a problem with other friends that you hang out with. I think it all depends on the person, because things change when you date and you have to be able to put everything into it.
Yeah, I really see a big plus in knowing that you hang out with the same people too, so there's no problem as far as losing your good friends
well, hmm If he/she is a good friend before you start dating, you have a lot of foundation, but if you guys break up, you lose an amazing friend. Me, I like dating guys I'm not good friends with first. I like getting to know people, I like when things are new and fresh. And i find it easier to be friends after the break up But, everyone has a personal preference
