Hi all,
This is my first posting on the forum.
I haven't been in a decent relationship for a few years, and decided around this time last year that it was time to track down Miss Right. I pulled out all the stops, including internet dating on five different sites.
I think my efforts have finally paid off. I met a woman a few weeks ago, who seems to have everything I look for, including a great personality, kindness, sense of humour. The full package, it would seem. We also have a lot of very obscure things in common, and whenever we're together, time just flies.
Right from the start, she said she prefers to start as friend and build from there. I have absolutely no problem with that. We've been out three times now, and every date was a lovely experience.
I've kissed her on the lips, briefly, but that's about it. I'm in no hurry, but have a track record of going out with women, and them deciding they just want to be friends.
However, I've never experienced this degree of mutual attraction. It was instant, and I'm pretty sure she feel the same.
So, I suppose my question is, is it okay to begin as friends and take things slowly, or is there a danger of friendship taking over? Of course, I'd be honoured to be her friend, but I really want it to be more.
Thanks in advance.
