a Stranger or a Friend for a Boyfriend/Girlfriend??

Reading what you have posted, it sounds like before you begin a relationship you are already preparing to end it. No wonder whatever relationships you've started with total strangers did not last long. There is nothing wrong falling in love with somebody who was not originally part of your circle. However, attraction can only take you so far. You have to find some common ground, something that will bind you and keep you together when tough times come along. If you have built no frienship, no understading, then the relationship is doomed to failure. I would say that before one gets to have the title of special someone to you, he should a least passed through the stage of a friend. And as you say, that is my opinion.

you can make your boyfriends your friends. my husband was a complete stranger to me when we first met. i knew nothing about him and he knew nothing about me. we became friends in our relationship and eventually got married too. now we are best friends and we have a very strong relationship because of it.
