For the sake of boredom, conversation and an attempt to combine a bunch of different topics...
I understand that my approach to relationships and friendships may differ greatly from yours, maybe not. Either way, at what point does an opposite-gender friendship become a potential intimate relationship? Is it worth it? Your significant other is, ultimately, your best friend, so would such a friendship make for a better relationship? Do you have one friend (of the opposie sex) in your life that you could see yourself with? |

rambling. this makes me think of musiq soulchild - half crazy
in my experience, dating a friend was always more fun. there was no awkward getting to know each other stage, we were already comfortable. but as well you think you know someone, you'll always learn new things about them. the aftermath, if there is one, is never fun to deal with. it's hard to continue friendship after that, especially if it ended on a bitter note. it's actually usually difficult for me to cross the line with friends. most of the time, i don't want to ruin what we already have or it's hard for me to see them in that way. as of right now, i can't see myself ending up with any of my very good guy friends. it's hard for me to see what's already there. but imo, i think it's worth it if you do end up falling for them. you'd want your lifelong partner to become your best friend eventually or at least i would. |

Now that I think about it, I've never fully crossed that line with one of my friends. I've had a short-lived fling, that was only meant to be a one night stand, that, somehow became a really close friendship. That was interesting. There may have been physical encounters as well, but never have I pursued a relationship with a friend. |

The thing is, I only have one friend that I could ever see myself falling for if she and I got too close. Other than that, it hasn't been much of an opportunity. As far as meeting new people; it gets boring after a while. I'm a reformed serial dater, so to speak. I've had the most fun meeting a girl on facebook, who coincidentally lived one building over from me in college, got to know her through IM and emails, and finally ran into her, after a month, at the mess hall. She transferred schools, we still keep in touch, as friends, but it never materialized into any beyond that. For now, the idea of crossing the line will remain as, nothing more than, an idea. |
