Once, you're in friends town, there's no going back...


That's bollocks to be honest, the best relationships I've ever seen came straight from 'friends town' :lol:


Absolutely! :D

I've been with my boyfriend Dave for 2 1/2 years now and it's going great. We were friends for nearly a year before we started going out and I think it can work out better if you're friends first.

^ What he said. Don't take any shit and don't settle for less. Compromise yeah but if you're on your knees for most of the time and the only happiness you get is FINALLY getting her to come around then its not for you anyway. Its a really poor misconception that blokes have to please women and snare them into going out with them, you don't.

Be yourself and get someone whos likely to last rather than square peg to round hole a relationship that will ultimately fail because by the time you get to know each other you hate each other.

P.S - Get a wash, brush your teeth and cut your hair :lol: :finger:

Hmm, in my experience I'd have to say otherwise; we had a mutual friend and were kind of friends...hell, I don't know...I need a drink.

What was a good, strong friendship a year ago is now awkward and difficult, to the point where if we weren't in a band together I don't think we'd ever even speak. :(

On the flipside, my first ex, with which I spent over 6 years with is still one of my closest friends!

Cheers guys, you've put all this in a totally different light from what I thought was a complete cock-up on my behalf a few days ago, hopefully I'll just give her some time and see where she wants to take it :yes:

I'm hooked on one girl, I'm not interested in anyone else but her and she's like one of my closest friends. She ain't interested though, we already did that dance a while back and it didn't end well... lucky to have her as a friend I guess, but until I get away to uni, things aint gonna change :( Maybe not even then...

Group hug?

Sounds like we're in the same boat man, or at least boats that look near identical...

Hehe, I'm in a similar boat myself.

Different circumstances though. Long distance comes into play but there's also a language barrier. She's Japanese (albeit living in London) and she's still working on her English. I met her at Wacken last year and I think the problem is we became really close friends very quickly. I know that doesn't always matter and we have spoken about the whole situation but I just haven't a clue where things stand. We're virtually on best friend terms though...maybe anything else is just wishful thinking. Sometimes she seems really affectionate, other times not so. It's doing my fucking head in though!!
