I agree that friends can become lovers. But someone you love can never be just a friend again. If however you didn’t love them then you can be friends but it’ll never be the same as it was

My relationship started out as a friendship

For me, It depends on how long you have been friends, once you look at someone simply as a friend and it’s establish that way for a relatively long time, it’s hard to become romantically attracted to him.

So true for me.. Just wish the friendships would value me!!…No relationship = No friendship….;(

Yep, true
Some of you guys forget that once the newness wears off and you guys aren’t tearing up the bed anymore you have to have friendship to fall back on. Otherwise, who wants to sit around in their rocking chairs in silence? Not me! I want to be reminiscing about our life together, laughing together. If you can’t be friends with your man, you can’t be lovers either.

That’s true, and that Friendship/Relationship are your True Friends Too. 🙂

No, cuz then she puts you in the “friends zone” and always says I wish I could find a guy like you, any girl would be lucky to have you. What’s she’s telling you is you’re not good looking enough so she’d rather be treated like shit by a good looking guy instead.

I agree, but these days people don’t want to be friends. They want sex or the friends with benefits which is still just sex. Let’s not get it twisted. I like this post, but are there men who can really be friends and move forward?

I think that you should be freinds with someone before your in a relationship with them. Most of the time you jump right into a relationship we let feelings get in the way. Relationship should be of love same as a freindship. Time most of us dont ever want to be patient we usaully want what we want when we want it. But a relationship should be patient especially if its someone you plan on spending the rest of your life with. feelings will lie to you. Tru love is the way. God Bless everybody.

It Depends What Type Of Relationship You Have With That Person And What You Do In The Relationship.

And a relationship can ruin a great friendship.

Idk what some of you all talking about my bf is my best friend and we started off as friends. I think its important to be a friend and lover..ijs

Ummm I’m not too sure of this because I’ve had relationships with friends, the longest being my ex wife all it does is ruin the friendship

I disagree. Friends should stay friends. Especially if you VALUE that friend. You lose two people if the relationship don’t work out. Not worth it.

Yeah, unless you develop feelings and then get friend zoned…but then he seems to change his mind, and you let yourself fall for him…and then he moves away

Do lovers become friends first ??? If it’s the right person it might work for a lasting relationship only time will tell!!!

Sad part that guy in the friend zone will do more than the boyfriend will and it’s sad that some women know that and will use that friend to get things from them that they don’t get from their sexual partner and some of us guys are gullible enough to give it to them.

Some women but men in friend zone because they don’t know what they want in a man. There never get to experience a man who will love and care for them. Treat them like a lady.

Not true. Turning a friendship into a relationship ruins the friendship and rarely ever works. You were just friends to begin with for a reason.

I 100% disagree, most women friendzone their best friend just to be screwed over by their “potential love interest” and cry out to the world that all guys are the same, not worth it if you’re willing to play her games.

Agree….. Problem is that women will make a decision on you very quickly…. Are you a friend type person? or are you someone they can see themselves having sex with? Once you are in that friend zone you better be happy with that because that is all u are going to be!!!…… If women see you as a friend and start telling you very personal things(like u are a gay friend)… You are a friend an will never be more…. Sad but true…… Women look for lovers first and try to make them into friends or relationship material….. Women do… Read more »

Not touching this. Still going through heartbreak behind a “friend” I slept with. Sad part is…. I didnt want to be her friend because I was attracted to her. She insisted we be friends.

Disagree, every relationship that started as a friendship, ended poorly and the friendship didn’t survive. So i took a break from relationships, and started a purely physical relationship with someone I barely knew. Well that turned into more. We got married 7 months after we met, have 2 kids and another one on the way. He now is my best friend and to this day makes me happier than I ever thought possible. And it all started cus we both just wanted to get laid.

I’m seeing a lot of “I didn’t want to be her friend, I wanted to be her boyfriend” or “I didn’t want him to be my boyfriend, I just wanted a friend.” Your boyfriend should be your best friend anyways. If she doesn’t want a relationship with you and wants to stay friends then she’s an idiot, leave her to her life just like all the other women who dont want you. If you just want to be a “boyfriend” and think being her friend is less than that then you’re an idiot, she should leave you to your life… Read more »

Most women once the find a great guy in their life they friend zone him and miss out on having a great relationship
