Can friendship be the beginning of love 💕 ?

Question

You started as friends and might fall in love? Has this happened to you? From friends to lovers? Or you get stuck in the friend zone?

Yes. I’m not sure why it ever came to the not sure why it ever came to this situation we are in now, but that is actually ideal. My old man heard from his dad that “you can’t be more than friends if you can’t be friends.” My Grandpa was married until my grandma passed and my folks have been married since the 80’s. If you want a long lasting relationship with true love, check your so-called “friend zone”. Therein are some of the best candidates you’ll ever find.

Nope, once my friend, always my friend. I don't do friends.

That was me with Sunny. Until the CCP started cracking down on all the fun her and I were having. Then, she pulled the equivalent of a great big "never mind," and got the hell out of my life for the sake of her own safety. Around that same time as Laowhy87 on YouTube found that he and his wife had become the targets of ludicrous amounts of harassment by the CCP.

Basically, the CCP is shamelessly racist, and has a huge problem with Chinese women trying to date / marry white Americans. (Prostituting themselves to trick said men into giving away valuable intel, however, is apparently fine.)

So by losing regular contact with her, it felt like losing a friend, not just a lover. Bastards stole the whole package. And then they did a victory lap by shooting up a random mall in Hong Kong, because they don't like frogs. And then Blizzard Games started banning anyone in World of Warcraft that showed sympathy for the victims of the CCP's murder spree. Because that video game company is legitimately awful.

Sunny was my friend first. I helped her company out with some geography questions, so she could sell her robots and get promoted. The CCP didn't like that. My help was free. I gave Granfoo an unfair advantage over their competition, which had to pay for US geography advice. I even tracked down a thief in New York for them, but he gave everyone the slip. I told them I'd help them find an agency that could let them pursue charges on the bugger, but they declined, saying that some BS Chinese law prohibited them from doing so. So the buzzard stole a thousand dollars of equipment from them and vanished.

As you can tell, it hurt to walk away and let her go. I was willing to go to such lengths for her, only for the whole rest of China to get in my way and be like: "Fuhgeddaboutit!"

Ungrateful bastards. Anyway, she has a kid now, with someone else. So it's pretty clear she's never coming back.

I longed for a wife. I met a gentle soul, and all I got was heartache, and a PJW video about Pooh murdering Hong Kong shoppers because Pepe.

It's been pretty hard to move on from that.

This is the dumbest question I've ever heard I don't understand why why females even bother separating the two you're going to have friendship no matter what when you have loved so yes if you're French with someone it can be the beginning of Love!

Matter of fact I'm going to answer my own f****** question you know what this all stems from your f****** daddy issues this is why you're attracted to f****** assholes you don't want to be friends with them because they're f****** assholes but you're attracted to him because of daddy!

And look I don't care who takes offense to that it's the truth I'm going to tell the truth even if it hurts your feelings so go f*** off!

dynamicyandere · Answer

Every single one of my 7 long-term relationships started off as a friendship first. So, it’s definitely possible.

Perhaps part of why it has worked so well for me is that I’m spending them with them without trying to get anything out of them, I don’t have expectations. I’m not trying to make them my girlfriend, I’m not trying to get laid, I’m just hanging out and having a good time, genuinely. I naturally exude confidence and not desperation. I know how to be single, and happy.

Then, they know my intentions are pure and it makes them feel safe. If they are attracted to me, it may make them want something more. And, if the chemistry between us is good enough, things can progress to something more, at a very natural pace.

RavVid · Answer

Friendship can be a good starting point there is no doubt. But there has a spark of lust sneaking in from stage left.

I went through about three cycles with one girl. I was interested but she friend zoned me... ok we are just friends. Then she got interested in me but I had lost interest by then. However her interest re-awoke mine but by then she had lost interest. Went around this loop three times as I remember.

Important note: They may be a good friend but it doesn't mean they will be a good partner folk!

exitseven · Answer

Yes, i met a girl Freshman year in college. I thought she was funnny and different. She had a boyfriend who went to a different school. It did not seem like much of a relationship so i hung out with her a lot. I ended up falling in love with her and she broke up with the boyfriend and we got together.

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

If I find a girl romantically interesting, I directly approach her with the intent to get romantically involved with her, and not as her friend.

If I approach her with the intent to become a friend, there is a greater chance that I would be stuck in friend zone.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I prefer it that way, but i’ve experienced various results. My first girlfriend was a friend first. We were together a fairly long time for high skool sweethearts. I’ve also been friend zoned. I’ve even developed a friendship that eventually included “benefits”. Ell oh ell!

NathanDavis · Answer

it was for me, and twice...

with my two first girlfriends, in high-school then college

with the first, I almost "friend-zoned" her... and with the second, I almost "friend-zoned" myself, lol

but the hearts prevailed though,. and things just happened

dolemite89 · Answer

girls don’t want to be “ just friends” with guys they’re actually attracted to. If a girl friendzones a guy off the bat then she doesn’t really dig him and is using him for the attention. Any time I've seen a couple where she says they started out as friends it’s always the most spineless guy with a good job that you know she made wait to have sex with her 🤣

melanieeeB · Answer

It can happen, but I think it's more likely when there were a small mutual attraction from the beginning on... and yes it did happen to me, sadly it didn't last tho

globetrotter22 · Answer

I have never in my entire life become lovers with a girl I was originally became friends with. I would like this to happen. Seems ideal because you get to know somebody for who they really are. But it requires both sides to be attracted to each other while starting as friends. That’s very rare.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

Nope hasn't happened to me. That said, it happened to a friend of mine. So back when we were round 16 we went from an all girl school to a mixed school. She joined this manga / anime club and became friendly with one of the boys there. Anyways everyone knew they'll end up together and they still are.

ChiTown33 · Answer

That's really the only way I trust women when it comes to matters of the heart. I'm no Brad Pitt. And when a woman comes on to me without really knowing me I know it's just a game of some sort. Doesn't mean I haven't been the victim of a long con or two 🤣. Live and learn. I figure if she's willing to wait on my trust then she's a keeper. If not, we go our separate ways. Everybody's happy.

macjets007 · Answer

Yes for women, most likely no for guys. It's simple; if your guy friend is attracted to you, he 99% would consider dating you. It's part of the reason why your friendship has added value. For guys it will just lead to the friend zone lol

Bubbles16 · Answer

Yes this happened to me recently because me and my then best friend Alex have been super close since the 6th grade but earlier this month while we were texting he told me that he liked me more than friends and I liked him too and now we're a couple

ElvenMr · Answer

Yea, pretty sure it's possible and it's a good way as well. You can't just force love out of nowhere. You have to be "friends who are kinda dating" first so you can get to know each other better.
Even if the intention was friendship at the beginning, it can turn into more i think.

BLP11520 · Answer

Yes, my wife was a friend at first... after kissing and her rubbing me down there we knew there was more. Married 36 years 2 sons. We aren't perfect. She can be a bitch and I can be a dick.. I work 7 days a week and since 2019 >covid life has gotten harder.

youngmix · Answer

It definitely can. I've seen this happen many times, and my parents started their relationship as friends.

Sun_Kim-Ai · Answer

This is what happened for me and my wife. Friends for over ten years, I was a kid when I went to her home for homeworks - she tutored me - and playing videogames together.

_deeznuts · Answer

yeah lol, I think my best relationship is the one that started off as a friendship. Probably because I already knew what he was like as a person and he knew me. We only broke up because he moved, and log term wasn't working.

Apulu_Imback · Answer

Maybe. Few friendships leads to love relationship but not all. Me and my male (most closest friend) best friend are good with that bromance and sibling type lol.

PolyGamer · Answer

yeah maybe, but it's not a consistent science lol. I'm ethically non-monogamous so you could imagine how interesting my friendships could get.

Blueeyes81 · Answer

It's the exception not the rule. If this is a persons dating strategy then they will be sorely disappointed.

Iceangel08 · Answer

For some it can happen and for others it doesn’t work out. In my case I married my best friend, and we have married for 14 years now.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

A wonderful friendship could be the beginning of many wonderful things to come & when it comes to love some people fall in love over time.

tanvishah123 · Answer

I had been in both situations. Transition from friend to boyfriend is smooth if the feelings are mutual at that level if not then you will get stuck in friendzone

JDBSLAOQ · Answer

itll be better if it is. but its also easy for it to be one sided if it starts from a platonic relationship

Guy13 · Answer

AS long as there is some Action involved in the friendship then sure... it can be the beginning of love ;-)

TheMajesticKing777 · Answer

I think that's probably the best way to start a relationship, getting to know the person takes time, not 2 or 3 dates

altaboy · Answer

Absolutely I believe it is possible. I also think friendship first should be preferred. After the passion is gone, you need friendship to carry on.

Spiritofn · Answer

It happened a lot for me… especially in high school. I’ve had a very shitty and abnormal life since My senior year though so I might not be the best example.

Mgtow1990 · Answer

No that's is a absolute waste of time never be friends with the opposite sex

beebella · Answer

Of course, it happens all the time. It's just never happened to me. 😅

MTC29 · Answer

Honestly, love had ruined a lot of friendships. Proceed with caution.

Jltakk · Answer

Yeah, I'm perpetually stuck in the friend zone. I blame myself mainly

Rockstarrrrr · Answer

Never happened to me.. I don't know if it'd be as exciting as getting to know someone from scratch and liking them from the start...

Alex8736 · Answer

There's some where you are friends forever and other times out of left field I have seen things escalate to more than friends but every situation is different so it is not always black and white

FilmGuy93 · Answer

Yeah. I think friendship is an essential first step for love.

jammcm · Answer

Friendship can change to love. You just have to wait and see. I have had love change to friendship because the feeling was one way.

neoagent1 · Answer

I had a friend with benefits turn into a girlfriend a couple times but neither worked out into marriage.

GreatnessBack · Answer

I think the best relationships start as friendships. Not all will turn into love obviously, but it's better than just cold dating an unknown.

dragoblack · Answer

Absolutely. True love/romance/healthy-relationship is literally just best friends with romantic benefits

Guardian45 · Answer

It has happened to me, and that's how I prefer to start my relationships. IMHO SOs should be friends before they become more.

soe11 · Answer

Just candy friend no one knows how we ended up on another?

daph_neo · Answer

Yes. It can actually be the foundation of love, if you think about it. 😊

gayeki · Answer

Yess. I think when love begins with a friendship, it is better most of the time, cause you know each other as a friend as well.

captain_voidwalker · Answer

Nope, women just keep guy friends around for free meals. They're basically the irl version of only fans pay pigs.

Jerre · Answer

That’s how my fiancé and I were 20+ years ago. We started off as friends, the bond gre until we became engaged. You know the rest of the story.

Wise4myage · Answer

Yes, isn't that how relationships start out?
