I recently saw Chris Titus in a horror film from Canada called Scar. It starred Angela Bettis(Carrie the tv movie). Titus has a supporting role in the film.
If I found her attractive, It'd be great. There doesn't have to be a sexual spark there. That will come in time. But, I'd have to not find her ugly. Friends who date run into problems because they don't discuss what their new relationship might entail before they decide to do it. They need to have a frank discussion about what's expected from each party before making that move. Not just say, " Hey, we have such a blast together, let's throw sex into it and call it dating!" Also, if your friend has relationship issues (player, thot, insecure, jealousy, etc ...) in his or her past, don't expect all that to magically clear up because you were friends first. It won't. Can you deal with your friend's relationship issues? A great relationship should be based on a great friendship. Anything less is just sex with someone you share chemistry with but little else. And we all know how that turns out.
thats wells stated. i would say and i think u are saying the same thing...ideally we want to date someone who really know us or trying to get to know you so wouldnt that be your friend? but like u stated...all the baggae. also what happens if it dont work out. then what?
