Who would you rather date: a friend or a co-worker or a stranger? And why?

[Pinay_ako]

Friend

Co worker/classmate

Stranger

I don’t do date. Just wanna smash

None of the above

Others

[justabuddy]

Co worker is the most risky. I use to be on with it but with the wrong girl that could be career destroying.

Friend you risk losing a good friend.


Stranger you know nothing about them.


I guess to me either of the last two.

[dale73]

I wouldn’t date a friend, but I would date a coworker you got to know your coworker what they do and don’t like

[AviatorTom]

Of those, I'd rather date a stranger, though I'd prefer calling her someone I don't know... yet.

A friend is probably going to remain a friend, nothing more. And there are some serious risks in dating a co-worker.

[pinkchampagne97]

Friend 😅 I wouldn’t mess with someone from my workplace, I don’t have personal experience with this but I see my colleagues and none of them are able to maintain a long lasting relationship here at work
Friend is the best option I think, since you know each other from long time and you know what you’re getting into and you accept it and agree with it and you both already understand and cope with each other’s antics and habits and all. So this is somewhat a base for a long lasting and strong relationship, since your partner is not only your lover but your best friend too

[GoodManDave]

Out of those options, probably not a total stranger, maybe a friend of a friend, but not close friends.


I have had crushes on “friends” in the past, (”friends” meaning people I was not close with, but I was friendly with them, and we spent some time in the same groups), so I can be open to the idea of dating that kind of friend.


With strangers, at least if there’s a break up, I probably wouldn’t lose a bunch of friends on the breakup, and if we were strangers before, I’m sure the ex would not start showing up in my life after that. So the chance of running into each other would be small.


With friends, you always run the risk of losing mutual friends, or seeing her constantly if she lives in the area.

[molonski2]

Of those options certainly a " stranger " although I don't think this is correct use of words , no one wishes to live in a pathetic bubble , if you are saying friends , its just same same , nothing different , when you run a company the company has to grow to succeed , if its stagnant , its going to be all over at some point.. Life is the same , explore new don't limit your horizons with just the same circle..

That's not taking a risk , that's not expanding , certainly " someone I do not know at this point " , but , guess what , I know them now , people can be so insular , there is an entire world out there to explore , don't limit yourself.

[mono_gram]

I’m the type of person that takes some time to get close to someone + would only date someone that I’m close and comfortable with. That person may start out as a stranger, but we’ll eventually become friends.

I also always liked the friends to lover trope in stories or movies.

[Xoxocutekitty]

Stranger.

Dating a direct friend usually makes your social group smaller, rather than expanding it. Some mutual friends don't like it, also the friendship may not be as deep as you once thought.

Dating coworkers is usually a bad idea unless they're on a situational project and you may not have to work directly with them 24/7. It's nice to have your own stories at work and come home and spill the tea.

[Seinna]

Ideally a stranger recommended by a friend/family member. If not, then a stranger. If not then a co-worker/classmate, if not then a friend.. But in most cases I'd rather stay single than date a friend.

[itsclearlynicholas]

I couldn't make up my mind so I said others. Stranger sounds daunting, a coworker sounds like trouble, and a female friend, uhh I'd rather just keep my small group of male friends happier by not throwing a woman into our friendship circle. So I just said Others. However, regardless, ain't no women flirting or having a sniff around me, so I'm sitting pretty 😍🥶 merrily 🎄🎁

[AlexEfron]

Friend - because I'd be more comfortable with them.

No Co Workers - it messes up your professional life. Never to mix up professional life with personal life. It leads to unwanted drama.

No Strangers - I wouldn't trust a stranger. And if it's someone online then I'd probably not disclose any details about me. Not even my real name

[avery58]

A stranger who becomes my friend then partner. Dating a coworker is so messy, I really don't think I'd do that again

[menina]

Realistically speaking I couldn't date any of my friends. Not to mention that it would be weird Lol

So, I would rather date a stranger, specifically a foreigner stranger. Why? It would be more interesting, relaxing and exciting.

[m4_07]

i would date a friend, because you know him very well, you can trust him, and since you're good friends, you would probably have a good relationship as lovers. but of course, it depends on whether you like him more than a friend.
co-worker might be risky, because you'd have to meet him every day even though you didn't want to.
stranger is also risky, because it would be hard for me to trust him/her. you never know, what was his/her past like.

[HawkPerception]

I've never dated a friend. I've always made my intentions clear from the get-go that I'm romantically interested. So our of those options, I choose stranger

[Xia1994]

A friend because you know a friend and they are a friend because they share similarities with you. In the dating phase with a guy I befriend them first and then it grows into something more if we’re compatible.

[Dinklex3]

Coworker/classmate.

I have to be familiar with them in some way so no strangers. & I don’t date friends. Once you’re a friend in my head, that’s it. Otherwise it feels weird.

[laurieluvsit]

I don't date strangers.

Friends and friends with benefits are best for me.

What do you like?

[DancingQueen16]

A friend because my current boyfriend was actually one of my best friends before he told me he liked me asked me to be his girlfriend

[Puppystarfish23]

Dated a co worker and I regret it so much. Strangers have no attachments if it doesn't work out there's no awkwardness

[blueonblack22]

Ideally you get to know someone’s true character platonically then move on to romantic.

But that’s not how it works most of the time.

[LiamJHayden]

Stranger. Friends are friends and I do not cross that boundary. My co-workers are all my subordinates because I own the company, so that would open me up to all sorts of litigation when things fall off the rails.

[relax24]

I would say a friend. as you've had more time to get to know them as a person. It could possibly blossom into something more. where, as with a stranger, you don't know what their true intentions are.

[thegreenyogi]

I think I'd rather date a friend because it would be cute in the first stages of dating to discover how much you like a friend.

[skidawgkc22]

Honestly, any of the above. Coworker is the most difficult to pull off of the three, followed by friend and stranger. In that order.

[RebelinSteel]

A stranger, as when it all ends it does not impact friendship or working environment

[Nifrayu]

With a friend I would already have a good idea about our compatibility. With a stranger I don't know what I am getting. I've never been interested in a coworker.

[DishLady]

I don’t date coworkers… and friends are friends for a reason.

[CriticalCatDad123]

I don’t do female friends and I think it is a really bad idea to be in a relationship with someone you work with. So many things could go wrong.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

For me it'd just be friend or a stranger, so friend.

[MrPickles13]

It could end a friendsbip or a few of them if it goes wrong. It could cause minor to major issues at work if it goes wrong. It's not as likey to occur with a stranger I guess.

[Darkest-Knight]

I'd want to date a co-worker as there are a few nice ones. I can't date a friend because I don't have any. As well i don't know how or where to meet people so dating a stranger isn't possible.

[Olgamasha]

Dating your coworker can be a bad idea. One coworker wanted to see me but I never gave him the chance

[bannacookies]

Friend. I did before.

No way I'd do a co worker.

[Booklover_90]

I wanted to date a co worker not too long ago. I couldn’t because he’s my supervisor. 😆

[jack1924]

It depends. But for sure not a co worker, Don’t shi…. where you eat.

[Kelly6]

@Pinay_ako Any of them can do as long as we have good chemistry

[Bklynbadboy12]

I believe you should always be friends before lovers

[dolemite58]

A stranger, I only believe in having female acquaintances not friends and it’s not a good idea to date coworkers

[IWILLPLEASEYOU]

I DATED A FREIND AND WE FELL ASLEEP ON MY BED AND WAS ABLE TO GET A CLOSWR MORE INTEMANCY.

[Nicollette1984]

I like to start as friends and let grow from their.

[MsBubba]

I will take them all for one night.

[Fuentes]

Smash them all lol

[Pinay_ako]

Lmaoooooo omg it doesn’t matter who eh

[Fuentes]

It's all good with me

[NathanDavis]

you...

[Pinay_ako]

🤣 oh come on now 😝

[NathanDavis]

as long as they're great... the rest are just details...

[LaurenM1997]

Not a stranger a friend

[GOLDFISH_smile]

Friend. We already like each other.

[Portmorsbi]

I'd date a girl I liked the most.

[Peridot25]

I chose friend because they know me better.

[scott04sa22]

I'm not ready for dating

[Dongie]

A friend. Could have the best of relationships.

[renodnol32]

Stranger. No complications if it doesn't workout.

[msc545]

A friend, or maybe a stranger. Or nobody.

[Rico777]

Wood smash them all twice !

[Simslover92]

A friend.

[jshm2]

That is not how dating works, dearie.

[Amur8711]

Friend

[eagle1951]

stranger
