Not really saying that this applies to all cases, but I've always typically been in relationships with women I've known on short term, much much less than long term. Not sure why but a lot of people who befriend you and spend time with you like that aren't looking for a relationship with you. Either that, or they don't want to pursue you just because they don't want to risk losing the friendship.

I think you're absolutely right! I can't say I really go into these relationships looking to be friends first, hoping for something else later. It just seems that circumstances usually guide the relationship into friendship and then I guess I just misread the situation and end up making a mess of things. Appreciate the insight!
