This pertains to the recent discussion on the net of people who were
good friends then becoming SO's. Well, it's my turn for a story.
 
When I was in high school I was just starting to know this girl and
we went beyond fiendship. She became my SO for quite a while. When we
broke up, it wasn't really a break up. We amicably parted (from SO-hood)
and became real good friends. We still keep in touch and we even date
one another on occasion. She makes me feel good, I make her feel good,
and our friendship has thrived. The only point I have is that you can
date good friends in a non-pressure environment and get a lot out of it
if you put some effort into it. Friendship is based a lot on trust and
caring but isn't that what should base a serious relationship (maybe
more intense)? If trust is betrayed, then how can one expect to remain
friends? Someone much wiser than I once said:
 
"Do you know the best way to start a relationship?"
 
"With a friend...."
