Question

I would rather date someone that knew me well , because they know what they are getting into, instead of starting completely over with someone new that doesn’t really know 2 shits about me , even though I am not against meeting someone new, knowing someone already would be the easier route for sure. Why I prefer FWB’s with some strings attached when I meet someone new , instead of rushing into it without seeing the big picture

Someone who knows me well already

OlderAndWiser · Answer

1. I am married and 100% faithful to my wife, so I would not date anyone else at all.

2. If I was single. . . in the past, I have twice approached women who I already knew and expressed my interest in exploring more than just friendship. Both times, I heard that lame, infuriating response: "it would probably be wonderful but I don't want to take a chance on ruining our friendship." I am not inclined to repeat that experience.

Of course, in retrospect, that was probably a convenient lie to tell me rather than simply stating that she was not attracted to me, or she was a lesbian in the closet, or whatever.

3. In an ideal world, dating someone I already knew would be ideal. A successful romantic relationship requires lust, love, trust, and respect. If a girl is already a friend, we have trust and respect. If I have asked her for a date, then I am physically attracted. So we already have three our of four of the essential ingredients. That means we have a much greater chance of developing a good relationship.

I would rather date somebody that is willing to grow with me that understands my flaws and is there for me in the bad times and is willing to stick around if I'm down and out

Love is not always when things are going good you have to be able to understand the person you're with and say it's okay everything will be okay no matter what you have to go through with the person you have to be there for them stand right next to them hold them up as well as the good times

I would rather date the person that believes in me understands me and understands that not every day is going to be the greatest it's going to be close and life is a battle and you have to battle together as one

HawkPerception · Answer

Tough question... I think both appeal to me.

On one hand, I would have a clean slate with the new person. No mistakes from the past known to them. No baggage or small grudges from my past choices. They would just get to know me for who I am now. It's nice to have a fresh start.

Then when it comes to the person who knows me well, they'd know about all my past and everything that's made me who I am. If they're still willing to be with me and love me despite knowing all of that, they're definitely a keeper.

If I absolutely has to choose one, I think it would be the person who knows me more, simply because I think we'd already be comfortable with each other and a relationship with them might feel surreal.

I don't personally have any girls like that in my life though, so it's not an option for me 😂

Dating someone new, as it is worth building a new friendship and romance together, to me, as it doesn't stress existing friendships.

The risk may not be worth the reward. My first wife was part of my friends group and that didn't go so well when we divorced.

usernameobvious · Answer

Sometimes I wish I'd dated when I met someone knew or even coworkers past or present
😜 That way I avoid the total sicko women I know nothing about. Dating apps has always been mixed.
Sometimes randomly in person either meeting a stranger in a safe enough setting like coworkers or ex workers or sometimes sure - even the waitress or helpful other sorts of interactions. Never the nurse flirting ✋🏻

When I was younger, I somehow thought you had to date someone who already knew you well. That's not the approach for everyone though.

MissSunshine2 · Answer

Well, I like someone I don't yet know very well. So for now, I'll go with someone new. I'd want to know him really well before anything serious were to develop I think, but you don't want guys getting too complacent I suppose.

RFC1872 · Answer

Know me well ofcourse. Why would I want to go through growing pains all over?

One of the best things about being married for so long is that you are together so much you start to think the same thoughts.

It's so much easier and nicer.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

Hummm... I've never thought of this. I could go either way. Although it is always fun starting from scratch and getting to know each other over time.

midnightmoon05 · Answer

I am happily married and my hubby truly analyzed me inside out better than myself … so I am keeping him. before him… hummm…. It was fun to get to know…

Twodogs0525 · Answer

I've dated both types and the one's that knew me fairly well lasted longer. However, my wife and I barely knew each other when we first went out.

Anonymous · Answer

Who can predict me yes.
I would choose someone who knows me

I am positive that women would like to choose someone who knows them but will fall in love with someone who won't ever try to know them as it's more attractive.
Just something I observed most of the time.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

The second one! I don't know how American people can date complete strangers they know nothing about. The funny thing is, when I tried to date classmates before they rejected me for not knowing me. Americans are so confusing

@dishlady I’d rather date someone new

MaddieTru · Answer

You should date someone that you know very well, I believe that your partner should also be a best friend. Therefore most relationships should start with natural camaraderie and change into a romantic relationship.

Iron_Man · Answer

Brady · Answer

Someone that knows me very well. U don't no what a person may do that u don't no very well. There r many times there were true dating horror stories.

AlperHan · Answer

I think it’s not about how long someone has known you, it’s about their character. Sometimes the person who knows you best can still hurt you. A good heart and respect matter more than time.🙂
