    I agree with this. I had this gorgeous friend that I never once tried making a move on our flirting with, cause she was way out of my league. We got to hanging out alone a lot and I would never do anything but just act like a normal, non horny person for once. All of a sudden she’s kissing me. Like wtf?! Good times.

      That’s why I always tell people to stop ‘looking’, that’s just desperate and off-putting. Friendships will turn into relationships if its meant to be.

          That’s the thing, it will work 100% guaranteed. As long as you’re open to new friendships. Will the first person fall in love with you? Probably not. The second? Also probably not. That’s the beauty of it, you’ll either have an SO or a ton of friends, and having a friend of the opposite gender is like wingman paradise.

            No it won’t. I tried that for 30 years with no success.

            For some people, if you don’t put in effort you will not get any of those things.

              It will, maintaining friendships and especially new ones requires a lot of effort. I’m saying when you meet people you don’t think they’ll be your SO, but rather a new friend. That’s now an entirely different conversation, one which has a much more relaxed nature, increasing the chances of a potential relationship.

              You’re missing the point by like a mile, you have to be open to new ones. Relationships don’t just appear out of nowhere.

        Tina Belcher is my spiritual guide on this issue. Nothing wrong with a little erotic friend-fiction becoming reality.

          Make the move! You’ll know and they’ll know when the moment is right, but don’t rush it!

            I’m glad I’m not searching for romantic advice in this thread because if I were I’d be so confused.

            Should I search for a friendship instead of a relationship? Should I make a move? Should I make a move on my friends?!
