A slim chance that it will work. A very strong chance that you'll never speak to each other again.

Why have a relationship when I get the benefits without the commitment/costs?

Ladder theory is for losers...literally. There are no ladders, or zones, or whatever some people tell themselves in order to feel better. You just don't meet some girl's dating standards. That's it, end of story. I know, it feels better to tell yourself that you could have had her if you had just made your move earlier, before you got stuck in the "friend" zone. Sorry, but no. There is just something about you that makes you undatable by that girl.

Why do I say this? Well because "jumping ladders" happens all the time. Of course some people actually care more about friends than relationships, so they don't want to "risk it", but it doesn't happen often enough to base an entire theory off of.

The only reason why a guy hangs around is because he's trying to get laid. I'm just keepin' it real.

That is completely UNTRUE.

You CAN be friends without dating.

My wife and I were friends for 3 years before we started dating, and then dated for 3 years, and have been married for 1 1/2 years.

^^^^ wise man.

If you insist on looking at things through the ladder theory though, then yes. Both my relationships were "jumps" from the friend ladder.
