Is it Ever a Good Idea To Go From Friends to Lovers?

When it comes to men and women just being friends I think that somewhere along the line the man, woman, or both begin to the see the other in a way that they may not have seen them initially. Meaning that during the time that the friendship develops, both individuals are learning about each other in a much deeper and honest way than you would learn about a potential partner. Because you’re relationship is at the friendship level, none of the pressure to ‘impress” each other exists. This allows you to let your guard down and really be yourself. But what you don’t realize at the time is that the overlap in what we want from both friends and partners is significant.

Everyday I wake up and think about what that day will bring. Some days are good and some days are bad, I’m human, so that’s to be expected. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about relationships, good relationships, bad relationships, so-so relationships, relationships in general.
