Mates Before Dates
You should always be best, or at least very close friends with someone before you start to date them. If you’re friends before you’re anything more than that, the relationship is going to last a lot longer, and be a lot healthier.
Right? Wrong.
If you find yourself in the situation, take careful note of your relationship before the dating starts. That’s the intensity of relationship they are going to be comfortable having with other people. While you’re dating. ‘Cause hey, “we’re just friends”.
Here endeth my wisdom imparted for today.
(And next time I date a boy, I’m choosing one who doesn’t associate with any females on any levels closer than ‘acquaintance’).

It’s always a tough one - I’ve generally dated good but not great friends. It seems to work out that way, not only for when you’re together but for when you break up (which, of course, is going to happen sooner or later) because then you haven’t lost a best friend, you’ve just lost a good friend and you’ve got some more of them, one of whom is actually quite hot, and…

I just stay friends with people i’ve dated. That way I end up gaining friends at the end of the relationship. Unless i want to push them off the edge of the cliff. Then I dont really ever want to see them again.

girl, ur the kind i cant stand. so insecure as to not let ur boyfriend have female friends, in th risk that he may realise what a resentful and bitter young thing you are compared to his trusting and laid back “aquaintances”. you force him into spending every waking hour with you, delete every girls number from his phone, and cry if you see or even hear that he hugged another girl. then, when you get bored, you break up with him. this leaves him with nothing, because he made you his whole life. and therefore, you know, he will run straight back under your thumb when you call. i’ve said it once, and i’ll say it again, girl, grow up.

Who would honestly think that going out with your best friend would be a good thing, this isn’t Hollywood, moron. It’s fine when you’re not really close friends, in fact these are usually the girls I end up staying friends with after i break up because it’s more of a trial thing from both parties.
Anyway, I agree with Bon, you’re an immature little brat that needs to grow the hell up (paraphrasing).

If you’re not for the friendship, upon what does one base the relationship on? You need a foundation of some kind, and a quick 2 minute chat is nothing to be making up conclusions with.

Trust - essential
friendship - important
mutual love & respect - definately desireable
