Ok, well. I would still have to disagree with you somewhat. She actually does seem to be someone who is ok, I do look at character as well. I'm saying that I like her more than previous girls I have liked. It's not like I can even date her yet, right now it's best just to be a good friend for right now.
I'm telling you, I had a close friend who I thought was a kind, caring, non-judgemental person, and they turned out to be a selfish, lying, insincere, manipulative shitbag! There are people out there who put on facades all the time so that they can get what they want from people, and it's not always easy to tell the genuine people from the disingenuous. I'm not saying she's not a good person, I'm just cautioning you to not miss the red flags because you're head over heels in love.
I'm confused. My mom said it's a good thing to start out as friends. Which well that's obvious it's a good start. I thought it was a terrible place to be though.
Personally, I think it's rare that a solid relationship could exist without first being good friends, which is why it's confusing to people when someone says they don't want to date you
because you're friends. Chances are, if someone says that, they just don't want to tell you they're not attracted/are secretly repulsed by you.
