    its starts off as a really good friend. Girls don't like being put on the spot randomly when a guy asks

    It depends on the girl.

    My best girl friend, for example, almost always falls for her best guy friend, and usually ends up dating him.. so it can definitely work for some girls.

    On the other hand, once a guy is in my friend zone, they would have to work pretty hard for me to want to go out with them. I get really frustrated because so many guys that I only see as friends and I don't realise I flirt with at all end up telling me they like me, and it gets awkward and just annoying because it's so much easier as friends. So once I finally get guys into the friend only zone and they know that, I wouldn't want to date them because I've worked so hard to get them there. I know that is a bit confusing, but its just how it is.

    Having said that, I wouldn't want to go out with a random either. I'd prefer to get to know them on friendly terms but always with a slight romantic element, basically just more flirting than just friends.

    So get to know them, just don't become too much like a best friend, or they'll be afraid to lose your friendship.

    It's not what you want it's what the guys wants. ANd if you put some poor bastard in the friend zone an angle will die. Because that is the worst damn thing a girl can do besides being liberal. and Speaking their mind. Either like him and give him a chance or walk away don't play with him you *****

    I would definitely rather a guy to become my friend first and then ask me out. If a random guy that I didn't know asked me out I don't think I would say yes. It would be too awkward. Friendship is a good starting foundation of good relationships.

    thats a tough one....I have a guy friend who I think might want more than friendship, and I think I might want more than that as well....but its all too awkward, and I think both of us are afraid to make the first move...at the same time, because our friendship is so great, I just know that if it doesn't work out, we could always be friends...or at least thats what I hope

    Friends first, or at least give her a chance to get to know you a little before asking her out.

    Well, to tell you the truth, I think most long lasting relationships start out as being there friend.

    definitely friends, it makes it a lot easier to gently slide into the relationship instead of taking an outright plunge.
