My best friend, and mother of my children, is upstairs asleep right now. So yes, to answer the original question.

Ummm, was she your friend before you started dating???? 😕
 
no, usually i am attracted or not. I never plan on being friends with someone just to get closer to them. If you want to get closer to them, you should just flat out ask them up front!

Ummmm... you must not have a lot of friends then. 😉

If I am interested in a girl, I will ask them out, but otherwise I have no agendas when I try to be friends with anyone, other than being a friend. If the friend is a girl and things happen, or I start to feel differently, then I will ask them out. What is the problem with that?
 
They way I see it is you have to become friends before you date. I mean, you have to get to know them anyway, just test the water before you know what is going to happen. And if you become friends then you'll probably stay friends if the dating doesn't work out.

It's a smart idea; and in my and many other cases, you aren't even attracted to the other person in the first place. I met her in a class, we became friends, one day I was suddenly very attracted to her. It gives you a good starting point in a relationship.
 
I find it interesting that in the YAGTs, people say that it's OK for their GF to hang out with a guy "friend", because they're just friends, and that there's no harm in it.

But now in this thread, it turns out that over 70% of people have ended up dating girls that were "just friends".

It sounds like those who worry about those "friends" of their gf do in fact have something to worry about.
 
My wife and I were friends in high school, we started dating after college. I don't think a relationship will work long-term if you're NOT friends first. Because once the boobs start to sag and the beer gut comes in, there has to be something beyond physical attraction to keep you going.
