georgym Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Now i've been in 3, and each one has started off as a friendship.I feel it just helps the relationship if the 2 of you are friends first.Im not saying it wouldn't work if you weren't friends... like if you jump right into dating someone, and then relationship.But i do believe that in order for a relationship to work, the 2 must be good friends as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastyt Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 You definitely have to be friends with your lover if it's going to go anywhere. But you don't have to be friends *before* you start dating. In fact, I'd be really hesitant to date anyone I'm good friends with... I wouldn't want to fuck up the friendship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't HAVE to be friends beforehand, but I definetly think it helps circumstances a great deal.Sometimes, there's just that undeniable feeling that you two need to progress the relationship. Sometimes, it's just a fact of life that all relationships, friends or more, just aren't meant to last a lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanna11 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Any relationship has to have friendship to some degree. But I see now that relationships sometimes require a complementing compatibility. A similar compatibility one might share with just friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A similar compatibility one might share with just friends This sounds interesting...Do you mean like one half offers one side, and the other offers a different, yet complementary in a good way side?/?
