Do You Know a Real Hot Man When You See Him?
Does Age Matter in a Relationship?

Does Birth Order Affect Romantic Compatibility?
Does He Want to Marry Me? The Dating with Dignity Guide to Getting Engaged
Does Love Ever Die?
Don’t Take Love for Granted
If I care enough about, and like, a woman enough to be “friends” with her, it’s really not much of a leap for me to want to date her or sleep with her or whatever. I’m generally not friends with women I’d consider soooo below my “standards” either physically or personality-wise. Either I like them or I don’t. There’s no “I like them but not in that way.”
So, since I’m being honest with myself, I am skeptical of people who feel differently as I said in the quoted portion. I don’t think “being friends” is an independent reason NOT to want to date someone. There’s always another reason at play — either you’re not attracted, or they’re your brother’s best friend, or you dated in the past or whatever. It’s never BECAUSE you’re friends.

Doesn’t anyone just sometimes enjoy a person of the opposite sex because they are fun to be with? Sure, there can be sparks — that makes it better — but if you know in your heart it wouldn’t go anywhere, why start? Being a fun person doesn’t necessarily qualify you as being someone I want to share a committed relationship. You being a fun person doesn’t make me hot — only you being hot makes me hot. You being a fun and/or interesting person makes me want to be and remain your friend.
Isn’t the big problem with the women — once you start with the romancing, women naturally now have you on the clock. For them it’s now a relationship, one that’s gotta keep progressing and ultimately gotta go somewhere or out you go. So with any women that you really like, and want to remain friends, it’s best not to start up at all.
