    Me, personally when a man sincerely likes the woman and is inspiring to build a friendship it's a compliment, to that woman. Solely because that man values you, vs. Your body or finances. Also, its mutual that he wants to potentially date you long term. I adore this video, shining light on this topic!

    Yup! Genuine friendship, and be open to other potential mates. If a friendship is established and people "expect" a "relationship in the future". it's not genuine & kills the natural flow. Embrace the dark and light side of our personas and work on ourselves. Be real/authentic , call out bullshit like you'd do to other friends. Express opinions, stories and emotions. No one should be placed on a pedestal. Relationships extend the happiness that exist within ourselves. Hug your guy friends, like your girl friends. Paradoxically, when people stop caring about it, become content and love yourself . That's when the magic happens. So walk the path of self-improvement. Some folks have never been in a genuine and deeply connected friendship and this can confuse people to be a negative thing. Awesome video, Josh and Sanah!

    Me and a women I met jumped right into dating and kind of fell way to hard way to fast and it completely backfired on not only her but ME. we didn’t get to learn about our flaws, our insecurities, and most importantly we didn’t get to understand each other on a PERSONAL LEVEL. We ended and it was the worst pain I felt because I genuinely cared about her so much and she means everything to me. So, we had a talk about 7 days after, and decided to be friends, and get to know each other on a personal level & really learn about one another. And all I can say is I’m so happy to have her in my life again. It’s something different and I feel like I don’t have to be pressured with her or worry about her 24/7 now but I get to laugh & be happy together while building something. 🙌🏼❤️

    I really appreciate your guys' perspective on this. So many people don't have the patience or even basic understanding of the benefits of building a friendship. I think the main fear, which is valid, is the risk of really only seeing the other person as a platonic friend after having built a friendship, and not taking things further. It is complicated, but if mutual respect is built, there doesn't have to be resentment and bitterness if things don't work out.

  • @ryandawson2877
    @ryandawson2877 3 года назад +19

    Honestly I can see it both ways. I personally do not mind being friends first as long as I know that there is a possibility of the other. Some people want to keep you in the friend zone though and that’s where I don’t acquiesce if I am attracted to that person.

    • @bruceklein9917
      @bruceklein9917 3 года назад +1

      Exactly. The friend zone is a rejection. If you have other women you know are displaying genuine interest in you then walking away from a "Let's just be friends" situation will be nothing for you to do. You are then a higher value man for not being a beta male orbiter giving her free attention.

    I don't know why people think that you can be somebody best friend in a relationship. It doesn't exist. Because once you in a relationship. There are things you can't speak on once you are with somebody. A friendship doesn't have sex with they friends. So therefore a friend can never ever have jealous emotions. Or get bad at they friend. If they friend talks about other people outside of themselves. In a relationship no man wants to hear a lady talking about other guys all day. Or hearing his girlfriend or wife talking about this guy this. And this guy that. Only a female can tell a friend anything. But she can't tell her significant other everything. Unless it's about them learning each other. You feel me. People be trying to hard to fit in to societal ways of looking into things. Just because the most of the world 🌎 says y'all suppose to be Best friends first. Doesn't make that statement true. You heard.

    • @episodechan
      @episodechan 3 года назад +2

      well, I can say from personal experience that it can drive her away in terms of wanting a romantic relationship for a very long time, sometimes even perminantly, but it can make your friendship bond stronger, if she changes her mind at a later point, and decides to be friends that can possibly happen, but she might choose to be with other people first, you may end up seeing her with other people, or even married to someone else, in which case you may not end up with her at all, but it all depends, im just saying in my experience, ive never ended up with a woman ever, in any situation including the taking it slow and starting as friends
