Which do you think is better. Dating or hanging out amongst friends

[Spuuky]

I think if you just "hang out" with most girls and become their friends they will never want to date you for fear of somehow damaging your existent friendship.

I much prefer Nicky to my few "friends."

[Calliope]

"existant"?

Good good. Don't lose it completely.

[Del Murder]

I guess friends because dating I find a way to screw it up, and it's hard to go back. Dating sucks.

[Meat Puppet]

Friends, because I can't get dates.

I agree with darkchrono in that it's difficult to maintain a relationship outside of a group of friends. When I tried that I ended up slightly alienating myself from them, which I regret.

I think that an 'official' relationship with someone of the opposite sex is more meaningful than a friendship in a lot of cases, because a relationship is past a friendship. Having said that though, my best friend is a girl, and while I love her to bits, it couldn't ever go further than that. I like to think of it as parallel to a relationship for lack of a better description.

[darkchrono]

yeah, that is why I think people generally choose one or the other. Either to have a large group of people they hang out with (with several members of the opposite sex within the group) and not to really go on many official dates.

Or to go on official dates for the most part on a frequent basis and not to have a large group of friends with members of the opposite sex within the group that you see or hang out with on a regular basis.


If you think about it. Both approaches are kind of serving the same purpose. Which is to find a possible future marriage partner. Both just kind of have different pros and cons.

I prefer both, buts it hard not to lose our friends because you spend so much time with your bf/gf

NEVER EVER DO GROUP EVENTS WITH PEOPLE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN OMFG DON'T THEY TEACH YOU THIS STUFF IN HIGH SCHOOL????

[Mr. Graves]

Either one is fine by me. Those I'd like to have buds around to back me up, y'know. =P

[darkchrono]

lol, and moo moo what's wrong with doing group events with people you are interested in. It is a good way to get to know them and to find out rather you really like them or rather it is just a crush.

[Peegee]

Wrong, it's a good way to stay friends. Bad. One-on-one = get her attention and etc. If she insists on group events it means you = friend.

*nod*

[darkchrono]

and that is why moo moo if you like eachother after spending some time getting to know eachother through groups you then can ask them out or start dating.

You would be suprised how quickly a girl will go places with you if she likes your personality, and is attracted to you at the same time.
