Like the song from The Barenaked Ladies - If I had a Million Dollars "If i had a million dollars I'd buy your love If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to walk to the store If I had a million dollars we'd take a limosine it costs more If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to eat kraft dinner (but we would)"
but that's not really a change on who you really are. You're not compromising yourself, just your firends. lol. I think if there was an aspect of my personality in questions, then it's not 'me' they liked in the first place, just my outward appearence.
what I first saw during an animal spirit quest. And a game my friends once played. "What animal are you" So it was my nickname from way back when. weird me.
That's where it gets sticky. Living as we have, with the constant bombardment of god, faith, and 'something' to believe it, imagining a world without that, kinda boggles thebrain. Most would think they would continue as they have, friends would be the same, life partners would be the same, and overall life would continue as is has for them. But without the beliefs of 'something else' we wouldn't have the same friends, as most of those we choose to be with are there for a similar belief system. Life partners, there'd probably be some type of marriage, but not what we know as it now. (Humans mated with many to create offspring, continue the genetic lines, religion made one man one woman) Our lives are as they are because of a belief system. It was the manifest destiny that created our accepted societies, the belief that god made us to to what we do. The oddities in life could not be accepted or questioned as they are, as those oddities are the reason we stepped forth with science and religion. I cannot see it as truely possible. IMO, you need to believe in something, or you have nothing. A dead race. Even a belief in oneself, is a belief in something more then just 'what is'.
having a friend whom you are curious about can also be a good way to learn what makes 'em tick. So to speak. But I do see the dangers inherent in the plan.
That's true too. Once you go beyond the joking around things do get weird. What if the one party has romantic leanings toward the other (or romantic hopes anyway) Would being their friend be a good way to get their interest or is it just a way to get yourself hurt?
I suppose that it could be odd for some people. I mean, you hear it so often. My guy buddy's usually pick up their next girl at the bar. Or so they tell me. But.. the married guys usually tell me she was their best friend before they married her. Hrm.
True that. With a friend, you know their limits so to speak. You are aware of their faults and already accept them That and friend romance just sounds sweeter.
I've dated non-friends. Just not fun when they throw you for a loop. Without understanding who they are personally you could head for an 'issue' once they start to become real and not that guy you met at a gathering. or not. it's why I asked the question I did I guess. LOL
can't you do that here though? I mean words can be just as expressive. And taking the time to form the thoughts makes making a statement easier. right?
For most people starting a relationship is hard enough. But what's the better way to begin it? Is being a friend first the way to garner attention then eventual love?
