And how exactly is it possible, if you both already have lifelong best friends that you've known since you were little kids, and are extremely close with? Never in a billion years could I imagine sharing a deeper friendship with my SO than I do with my brother-de-facto, and I think it's the same for her. Yet our relationship is very strong, and we're very happy that we're with each other... so I don't think that it's that important.
@Maxim245 agreed maxim i know this site is about honesty but you can't get mad at women on this because they don't know they're lying on this they really believe this is possible in their mind.
@Maxim245 I think I live in your reality lol all the couples I know started out being acquaintances (hardly know each other to be considered friends) then one person pursue the other romantically, they get to know each other in the chase.
None of the friendships/acquintances I had that I wished would become something more, didn't... But then I went on tinder again, just wanting to have some fun, nothing serious... matched with this lovely girl that i'd never seen before, and BAM - 8 months into the (happy) relationship now.
I’ve never seen that happen tbh. I see people who get merged into our friend group and get to know everyone but get particularly close with one person, and eventually start pursuing that person romantically after being friends for a while.
Well, we DID start out slow, tho... getting to know each other really well before even having sex (4!! Months in) So yeah, we kinda became good friends fast, along with the bf-gf stuff
@Maxim245 A teaching assistant, lackey of the professor to conduct tutorial and recitation sessions. After that encounter every email I sent her about our assignments could be interpreted as indicating sexual interest
@IlyaTheImpaler Nice Did you send her random dick pics? Like, I would've done something like... whenever she's expecting a serious e-mail from me and sitting in the teacher's room, I would've just out of the blue sent her a huge, screen-filling picture of my cock hidden as a hyperlink

Yes it can and its not extremely common but not rarely common but honestly its probably great
Yes that's actually pretty common. And a relationship is friendship. Team work.
That's the BEST way
Friendship is the first level of a true relationship in my opinion.
It is very possible and common. i mean you date someone who is your friend first. Dating random stranger is risky.
Who the hell dates their friends?
Risky? Wtf
Ha ha ha you both somehow are right
It's always smart to date safe
Yes! I think it’s important to be best friends with the person you’re dating.

Friendship is friendship, romance is romance.
Or, alternatively, you could call it partnership... probably better than "romance"

Yup... if both are ready for it... otherwise it ends up being a one sided affair
It doesn't work the up losing their friendship at the end
Sometimes of he likes you to but of you breakup don't make a fight try to keep a friend
Well, yeah, its common thing even though it doesn't end up well always
It definitely is... It happened to me. Friends for 2 years; then made 3 years together. ♡
Sometimes. In my opinion, this is a better start for a relationship becuz u two know each other well
That’s probably how most relationships happen tbh
I have to be living in a whole different reality then...

Life's been strange for me

@Maxim245 yay Tinder magic! good for you man, I tried Tinder last year and got matched with my TA lol
But yeah, when people ask us how we met... uhh...
Someone once asked us how we met, and I jokingly said Craigslist
Wasn't the best idea...
@IlyaTheImpaler
Not a native speaker, sorry, I don't know what TA is supposed to refer to, lol

@Maxim245 no bruh that will get me into serious troubles, plus I like her too much to do that
Yes it is very possible
Of course, I think that happens a lot
Sure, I think this is pretty common
It's possible, but rarely happens passively.
Most of the time this is how it’s gone for me.
Of course it's very possible
Quite rare and not worth the wait
That’s the best kind of relationship
