Friend or lover? 98

Sun, 03/23/08 2:47 P GMT-05
Mamasan The advantage of the friends first style is that you know what you're getting into before you become too deeply involved. When I say friends first I don't mean that you can't tell them that you're attracted to them or somethin

I believe that passion can grow from friendship 488

I have a test for the friend trap. If a person doesn't treat me as well as their or my other platonic friends, then they don't want to be my friend. There's no intimacy there, so there's nothing on which to build respect and passion. I believe that p

A Friend Comes Before a Lover 385

A Friend Comes Before a Lover Who wants a mate who doesn't enjoy the same things you do? Success lies in finding things that bring you together -- not apart. The more you're together learning about each other's likes & dislikes, you're able to

Women get put in the friend zone too,

Wed, 01/11/06 9:47 A GMT-05
I don't think some of you understand how you get put in the friend zone in the first place. You're just not what she's looking for in a partner. Lick your wounds (preferably out of her sight) and move on. While you're fixated on her, there are other

Ladies, would you date a male friend who liked you?

Wed, 01/11/06 9:42 A GMT-05
Labels, labels, damn I hate labels. Why do we label people like this. Is it possible for us to thimk that a person can change and be something more. Is it possible for women to think for once outside the box and give her male friend a chance to prove

Once a friend never a lover

Tue, 01/10/06 8:06 P GMT-05
Why do so many women say they can never be a lover with a guy who is their friend first? The answer to the question is that when a woman places a label on a man, it's eternal. When a woman begins interacting with a man in accordance with whateve

Having been in the friend zone so many times myself....

Having been in the friend zone so many times myself, I see things a different way. I think it's more like...when you see that the other person is making friend-like gestures, you already know where you're headed, and should take evasive actions right

Can a male FRIEND ever be a lover to a woman?

I wouldn't ever consider having a relationship with a guy who wasn't my friend FIRST. alexandra I agree, so I don't understand why so many women are so rigid on the idea that a guy friend can never be a lover?Dave

Why are men told that once a woman becomes his friend she can never be his lover?

The "lets just be friends trap"! Is there any way out of the friend trap?

Sat, 09/24/05 9:28 A GMT-05
Tom McKnight over at www.lovetactics.com feels this is the proper way to go - friends first. He SWEARS that.... Friendship + RESPECT (she must have always respected him) = Passion Passion = a powderkeg to explode into love. With friendship you need =

Can your partner actually be your best friend?

Sun, 09/18/05 9:47 P GMT-05
Men learn that women don't want their lover to be their friend too. Why is this? What is it about a woman's romantic fantasy that does not permit a combination of lover and friend?Have you ever given this a thought: Your partner can actually be your

Why do women prefer their lover not be their friend too?

Sun, 09/18/05 9:27 P GMT-05
If you seek a relationship first, odds are you will not be a friend also. You will be her lover. Not being her friend too means she doesn't have to show you loyalty. You may wind up being one of several lovers if you are not careful. But then again,

You know, you men complain about being put on a girls 'friend' list immediately, but I would think it's the best place for you to be. if you are really thinking you want to spend some serious time with her, why is it such a problem to put your libido

Why do women reject men in terms of a relationship if they become friends first?

"let's just be friends"...is awkward.

Two people seem to be hitting it off somewhat, but yet at some point a wall comes up and things get awkward..."let's just be friends"...yeah that's what is said but guys often get the cold shoulder after this...not very "friendly"

Don't Become Her Best Friend Before The Relationship Gets Romantic!

Mon, 08/01/05 8:05 P GMT-05
This is very tough for many guys. The only way they know how to get close to a woman is as a friend, but this is a really bad trap to fall into with a woman you're interested in romantically. You can be friendly, you can do small thoughtful things fo

Ladies Can men ever get out of the friend zone?

Bob  I am wondering if you date someone, sleep with them, have a great time and then get put in the 'friend zone' - maybe because you were too 'nice' in the end - fell into Wuss boy....(happened to me in the past).... Can you get out of the friend

FRIENDSHIP - A note to nice guys

Mon, 08/01/05 7:53 A GMT-05
FRIENDSHIP inevitably results when you meet a person’s needs for (1) Attention, (2) Understanding, (3) Acceptance, (4) Appreciation, and (5) Affection.Be careful though. She may tell you that you ONLY qualify as a friend and that you can never be h

The only difference between the 'Friend' category and the 'Worthy' category is that those in the 'Friend' category fail to demonstrate their sexuality. Nice guys think their sexuality will scare the woman so they hide it. They then wonder why they he

With the right level of compassion and sense of fair play, a great technique is to let the one you want know that they're not the only game in town!  This creates competition and stirs their desire.  Date or be friends with others of the opposite

Turn A Woman From Friend To Lover

Mon, 06/06/05 7:50 P GMT-05
Yes it is possible to turn a woman from a friend to a lover, if you know what to do but even then, it won't work every time. Some women keep you as a friend because you've been too scared to make your romantic interest known, or you've made a bunch o

The problem is that alot of guys use the "friendship" cover as an excuse to avoid rejection by women. They think that if they are friends then    they can figure out whether the woman fancies them or not and avoid them saying no. By this

More Than Friends

Wed, 03/30/05 7:48 A GMT-05
Many guys ask, "I know this girl, I'm already sort of friends with her, how do I take the relationship to the next level."First question:What's more important to you: being friends with this girl, or potentially being more?For me personally
