Friends Before Dating; Good Idea or Bad? - Page 2

I personally think it's a horrible idea for me.

I'm an introvert but I do easily make friends and for some reason even when I treat them like total shit (which is all the damn time) their still friends with me. That would all change since I'm just not built for romantic relationships, I'm cold, sarcastic, like to spend a lot of time to myself but the times I do want to spend with other people are always like extremely late at night or early in the morning, find sex to be a casual thing, can't stand monogamous relationships (btw I'm cheating on dildo with HK), AND being raised by a sociopathic grandmother made me extremely selfish.

In fact the only healthy relationship I have is with my 9 year old nephew who for some reason doesn't totally piss me off. I spoil the shit out of him we're actually going to gamestop this tuesday to *bleep*ing pick up the walking dead and make decisions and shit together. He plays every other chapter or until I die.

But yeah in my case I'm (for some reason) allowed to treat my friends like shit most of the time (I am actually quite a nice person when I'm not on my man-period) and I guess it just rolls off their back but I think I had 1 time where I would actually consider it a relationship (for me a true romantic relationship would have to be 3 months or more) and I royally screwed that up with little regrets with the exception that we used to be friends before we started dating.


....used to.

So yeah in my case, NONONNONONONONONONONO, I'm more of a casual guy whose most serious relationship was a bootycall and I actually do like my friends enough that I would avoid making things awkward. I also fail to see how people can be long friends then break up and NOT have that change their relationship even somewhat, no matter what the relationship of your friendship would change forever once you both declare and pursue romantic feelings for each other.
