I've been reading a lot of romantic stories lately in which the guy falls madly in love with the girl from affar, or is close friend with the girl, and then he declares this love to her without first asking her on a date or even asking her if she likes him as more than a friend. Is this really the way to start off a relationship? Has any one here had a relationship that started out that way?

Once when I was 13 my best friend confessed his love to me. It was an extremely awkward moment, and after a while he got over me, and I ended up "falling in love" with him...

Hi Kelly...

With six billion folks running around,,anything is possible...but "no",,I wouldn't think that what you describe is the ideal way of beginning a relationship.

The "romantic thriller" is just that...it thrills you with the possibilites that romance can bring. I think there can be Love at first site but more often than not it is lust at first site.

Great relationships are built upon honesty, communication and commitment...and these attributes are best displayed through time...

IMHO.

It's kinda funny I met my boyfriend at work before I went off to college. we hit it off always joking around I always thought he was goofy and cute but we never talked much out of work. He had a girlfriend (crazy beyond belief) and he tells me now when he first met me he thought "ya know I would dump whit for maggi" and they did break up right before I left for school.

We talked a lot in the beginning and I ended up dating someone for about 9 months but towards the end of this relationship i was hanging out with jake everyday! He some how became my best friend- no akwardness just an amazing friend.

I thought to myself hes more than bf material hes husband material.

I eventually broke up with the college bf (he lived 4 hours away and got kicked out of school.......kind of a turn off)

but we kind of did admire each other and its weird how we ended up together. i think we knew it would happen we just denied it forever. all of my friends knew we would be together and now they are insisting we'll be the first to get married and there isn't a mor perfect match (i assure you we fight A LOT because we are so head strong, he's ADD and I like to plan things out) but the opposites work together.

no fairy tale but over all people can get really lucky with the people they find. I did (cheesy I know but I wasn't looking for a serious relationship ever in my life I just fell into one)

Hmm... Well, in high school, I always had a little tinge of a crush on my now current boyfriend (the first time I saw him, I thought to myself "I could have a crush on him..."). We hardly ever spoke until the end of senior year. Then we started flirting a smidge. And he'd just randomly hold my hand when we were out sitting in my back yard around a fire.. Then we both went to college far away from home/each other but when we came home over Thanksgiving break we were just hanging out and we kissed. And after that he said "Wanna be official?" It was kind of a weird (and if you ask me kind of lame, lol) beginning to our relationship...

But then the other day, I was texting one of my friends (who know lives on the other side of the country) and without prompting (we were joking around about hating each other), he was like "You were my super secret crush." So, yeah, he basically confessed his feelings for me without ever going on a date or ever talking to me about being more than friends...

Overall, I guess what I'm trying to say is I've sorta had both of those scenarios happen... Sorta.... I guess, is that what youre asking? It's not like I've had a "Over Her Dead Body" (you know.. where the kid is gay for 5 years and then randomly kisses her without ever telling her otherwise)...

But.. anyways, I"m rambling. Sooo, I'm gunna end this...

Bye!

I was talking more specifically about a guy actually confessing his love without any previous signs. But the thing about a gay guy kissing a girl is a funny thought. One of my close guy friends is gay, but I could swear he flirts with me more than any other guy ever has...

Ha well I'm sure it happens........just once every other blue moon though.

I think people think about it but theyd rather see where things go before they jump to conclusions.....people are too afraid of rejection
