Anyone believe in being friends first before dating someone?

Of course... why not?

We're talking about actual dating, not a f@#k buddy right? If you're just trying to tap that then obvious no is obvious, if it's beyond that then of course.

Are you asking if we think that's a good strategy for getting a gf, or are you asking if we think it's possible to transition from 'just friends' to a dating relationship? I definitely think it's possible to transition from 'just friends' to a dating relationship, and honestly believe that a relationship that starts this way is likely to be stronger. But if you are intentionally playing the 'just friends' angle in hopes that it will develop into something more, then I'd say that's a bad strategy. Be upfront about what you want and let the chips fall where they may. That way you don't waste your time or hers.

Seems to me you're better off getting to know someone in a casual way before embarking on a deeper relationship. Probably would save a lot of time and money, not to mention possible heartbreak.

I think, obviously, you should get to know someone (friendly) before you enter a relationship with them. But I think there is a line between being friendly and moving into a relationship, and being so friendly that you are basically best friends for a while, and then still thinking you have a chance at a relationship.

Question needs to be a bit more concise.

So lemme guess, this girl is leading you on but says she wants to be friends until she makes up her mind??

Translation: This is womaneese for; you will never get in my pants, im giving it to someone else who isnt very interested in me so you can be my cuddle buddy till he shows up.

If they dont put out after the third date, chances are they never will and you are in the friend zone.
