been in a relationship that started out as "just friends"?

Does it ever really happen or just in the movies?

Can friendship "grow" into something more, or, once you're friends, does that tend to be it :?:
 
... The Pup's started off as enemies, (2 years), friends (3 months), Landlady/Lodger (2 months), a couple (7 years), married (8 years).... phew!!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Of course it can . . . me and Joey were mates before hand.

I prefer to be mates with someone before hand, makes sense and you can get to know them and see if their boyf/girlf material.

Agreed - I like to try before I buy...... in fact, I dont think I have ever had a relationship with someone I didnt already know for years.....
 
I think it depends on what kind of friends you are. If you're the flirty kind of mates, it might happen, otherwise it's unlikely..

Has to be some kind of attraction there from the start, even if neither of you are that aware of it.

lol :lol:

No blow out...just interested in the idea...personally I'm sceptical but you do here of loads of people who end up going out after they've been friends.

It never happens to me though, cos the girls get to know me too well....!!

I would give RT a call but I deleted her number....why, have you got it??
 
i liked a guy who was my mate once. i found it difficult to know what to do about it tho because of that very reason, he was my mate. we weren't beat mates but at the same time i didnt want to risk ruin the friendship we did/do have especially when i wasn't totally sure how i felt. in the end i just forgot about it. i convinced myself that i didnt fancy him enough because every time i met someone new i didn't really think about him in that way. and i also thought i mite of been confusing friendship feelings as i had never had that many male friends before. i think you do need to be a bit more sensetive with these kind of things but maybe not too much because if its that good of a friendship you should be able to put it back on track again. maybe a kiss instead of a full session would be a good idea for testing the waters! not so embarrasing in the mornin then if you realize it wasn't the right thing to do!

Sync, last summer my friend got married with a common friend, they grew up together and one day they started to go out and they ended in the church ;)
 
Awww Synch I am flattered you are thinking about me all the way across the Atlantic...And I do think that friends can become something more. My boyfriend from five years ago was purely a friend and then one day we just started flirting and one thing leads to another...you know the routine. :D
 
My boyfriend and I were friends at the start as we both supported the same team. It transpired that he really liked me from the start though, whereas I just viewed him as a friend. Obviously that all changed though!

I think it's a good basis on which to build a relationship as you know you get on and have shared interests. The problem occurs when it's someone who you've been close friends with for years and if the relationship doesn't work out, you also lose the friendship.
 
Most of my meaningful relationships started out as friends. I have to be able to have that friends relationship before moving forward. Otherwise there's no conversation, no same interests, nothing. Come to think of it... ALL my good relationships started as friends.

Re: Ending up in Church.... I hope t was the wedding march, and not the funeral one to signify the "end" of their relationship
 
So many variables involved Synchy so no hard fast rules. I've had one night stands that turned into relationships and daliances with friends which we then shelved and went back to being friends.
 
Me and Dom started out as mates , we always fancied each other but he would not commit to me cos he thought I was a bit wild. However after descovering I did have a nice chilled/drab homely side to me we got together and now we are married :D However the bag lady in me is still at large and can be found in the gutter most weekends! :lol:
