Depends on the closeness of the friend. I'd much rather go out with somebody I'd known for a while and was sure I got on really well with, rather than someone I'd merely admired from a distance or met casually in a bar. On the other hand, when you're hanging around with a group of buddies quite regularly, dating one of them would disrupt the balance and make things very awkward if you later broke up.
So it's about the right level of familiarity, I suppose. |
They are the only ones I would even consider~
Even though it may be awkward, if it is a true feeling then it would be worked out ^^ |
Well so far I've dated 2 of my friends. I dont recomend it. People always say that you can always be friends if it doesnt work out, but thats not true the friendship changes forever (if something goes wrong, if it doesnt then you are really lucky ^^). Things are never the same and sometimes unfixable. At least thats what happened in my case.
For now I'll let my friends be my friends and I think I'll just date someone new of course I'd have to get to know them first :D |
No. If I make friends online, I keep them as just friends. Being more than that often goes wrong for people, and can lead to bad feelings afterwards. Besides, it is best to keep the internet and real life apart - it's the most common sense thing to do :)
|
Yes and no.
It can be good but if you happen to break up then it may be awkward afterwards. |
I met my boyfriend during the first few weeks of my freshman year of college. We became friends and then started dating. But we'd only been friends for a while. I don't think dating someone that you've known for a long time would be such a great idea. I couldn't imagine dating my best guy friend, he's like a brother to me. ^_^;;
|
I've dated a few friends, so I guess the answer is yes then. I rather not date people I know nothing about or never had any interactions with them. Friends, you know them and you know you get along and that would seem to make the date less stressful. Besides when you date a friend you can relax and just be yourself, enjoying the date. lol XD
|
Me and my best friends actually have crushes on each other... but our main problem is... well.. we don't know anything about dating >.<
|
I am dating a friend. We met freshman year of college and became friends. After months of dancing around the fact that we liked each other, we finally decided to try a relationship. So far it's working well.
Personally, I'd rather date a friend, because that means I've already gotten through the stages of getting to know them and learning to trust them. Besides, the people whose marriages have lasted longest always say their spouse is their best friend. Might as well start off that way! xD |
I would never try to date a friend mainly because if it didn't work out between you then your friendship would be forever damaged. And losing a lover hurts enough, but losing a good friend on top of that would be crippling. (in my opinion of course)
Another issue is if you ask out a friend that doesn't feel the same way. They would probably feel akward around you after that. And would probably cause you two to drift apart.</3 |
I use to keep guy friends just as friends. I didn't want to break the relationship apart if anything between us happened if we were to go out. Though, that changed for many reasons.
I have gone out with two of my guy friends who were first my best friends. They already knew me and knew how I acted, so there was no awkward moments when we were going out. And surprisingly, we it did fall through, we were still friends. Though, still had to go through the weirdness of seeing him with another girl, but it wasn't all that bad. Got some good experiences out of it and would do it again. Heh, in fact. I am dating a friend. A person I've known for a year and he just knows me so well its sorta creepy at times. ^.^ Though, we both agreed if it doesn't work out for one reason or another, that we will always try to be friends. |
I would always date a friend! but only because i make friends with the person i want to date before I date them.

Every person that I have dated has been my friend first. I don't think it really works any other way.
|
Yes, I most definitely would date a friend! >.<
Let's see...my boyfriend now, we were friends before we decided to date, and everything has been great. I think it actually does help a relationship if you are friends or at least know them a little bit before you decide to 'go stead' or whatever the kids are calling it these days. And I also once had a crush on my friend...and it didn't work out, but that's because it took him 4 years to realize that he was gay...and it wasn't a BIG crush or anything. We went to prom together as friends (We knew eachother since freshman) and we had a great time. Dance...and yeah, then I started to kind of like him...and he kind of liked me too....but then he decided to realize that the vigina is a horrible thing...and became GAY! yay. |
i really dont know, it would depend on the friend really.
|
I would prefer to solely date friends, or people that I've developed some form of a friendship with, be it online or in person.
Frankly, I have dated a lot of people that I barely knew, and I found out that we had hardly anything in common. When you're dating someone, or at least pursuing a relationship with them, you need to know that you can have a deep connection with that person. If not, then all the relationship is, is physical. I think that's why so many relationships end quickly, and marriages end in divorce, because there is no underlying friendship there. People will just choose whoever because they feel the need to be with someone. I don't know, personally, if I'm going to get in bed with someone (which yes, happens with me when I date people for a long period of time) I need to know everything I can about that person, and make sure that they are someone who will stick around through thick and thin... a real true friend. |
I sure would. & it depends too. It's a male =.=" duhhh . I think it's better to date friends because you already know each other well . |
Re: Would you date a friend?
Yes. Because then you know each other well and your relationship will only grow. Plus, your other friends will be more comfortable that you're dating someone they know and not some random guy. I wouldn't want to date some random guy who asks you out. I'd get to know them first as friends. The first guy who asked me out shocked me, so I said yes and now I regret it since all his friends knew how much of a jerk he is and I wish I knew about his reputation beforehand. A few other random people have asked me out. Really random. I talked to them, what, a couple times? Yea... I'm not going out with you just because you asked. I don't even remember your name!! (Well, I have bad memory in the first place but I'd like a guy who I remembered his name already) But then again... all the guys I hang out with are all either - insane, crazy, hyper, mental... did I mention crazy?? Yet, I do love them... I just don't think my other girl friends would approve, and I don't think my parents would even let them into the house >.< haha... |
I would because I am dating my best friend. I have many other friends but I am very close with my boyfriend and we talk about everything.
But when we first start going out we were not close like we are now. We have grown closer together over time. |
Yes, definitely, and not cause I've been crushing on a friend for over a year now. :D
Only thing I'm scared of is that things would never be the same if we break up. But meh, I gotta take my chances sometime. xP |
i would probably go with your reasonings yes because we know each other well and already get along well. but no because afterwards you may be uncomfortable with them and it may cause an awkward friendship.
|
I dont think I would, because if it didnt work out the friendship would be messed up horribly! And that would suck because friendship is more important than a silly relationship. Relationships only have a 2% chance of even working out!
But then again, if you dont know someone before you start dating all sorts of problems could rise up! And that would be tragic! I would rather date a friend than some random stranger! Or someone you only kinda hardly know. |
My answer is pretty much the same as yours.
|
I would...>.> Most of my friends are hawt and awesome because they love me v.v <3333.
But they're all taken ): |
I'd only date a good friend, if I've just started being a friend with someone then after we break up the friendship probably won't continue since it would be overly weird.
And when I say good friend I don't mean best friend... that.... would just be weird D: that would be over the fountain with sparkles. Dating a best friend to me, would feel like dating a sibling. |
