    isn’t it better to start with a friendship, with no intent on starting a relationship but going there once we find out that it’s somewhere we both want to progress to

    I definitely think this is much healthier, but if you don’t have the time to make a large network of friends until it turns out one of them happens to be single, interested in you, and has known you for a long while, it just isn’t a choice.

      Oh that’s def true, but at the same time a lot of people that do have time or can just make time for making friends or nurturing the ones they already have just don’t because they’re stuck in this mentality of rushing straight into meeting their next partner by chance instead, but it is really true that the people that can’t sadly don’t have an alternative
