The story above happened because someone made a move.

kernelle@lemmy.world 3 months agoThat’s why I always tell people to stop ‘looking’, that’s just desperate and off-putting. Friendships will turn into relationships if its meant to be.

Make the move! You’ll know and they’ll know when the moment is right, but don’t rush it!

I’m glad I’m not searching for romantic advice in this thread because if I were I’d have a headache.
Should I search for a friendship instead of a relationship? Should I make a move? Should I make a move on my friends?!

Do you think your friends are as cute as buttons?

Tina Belcher is my spiritual guide on this issue. Nothing wrong with a little erotic friend-fiction becoming reality.

these are all great stories but what if it doesn’t happen and you stay single for life

If that’s your worry, you never stopped “looking”
stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 months ago
How so? I’m not “looking” at all. I’m just seeing my friends once in a while and occasionally making new friends. Outside of that I’m just focusing on my studies. I’ve stopped caring about dating for a long time. Of course that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped wishing to meet someone.

That’s the thing, it will work 100% guaranteed. As long as you’re open to new friendships. Will the first person fall in love with you? Probably not. The second? Also probably not. That’s the beauty of it, you’ll either have an SO or a ton of friends, and having a friend of the opposite gender is like wingman paradise.

No it won’t. I tried that for 30 years with no success.
For some people, if you don’t put in effort you will not get any of those things.
kernelle@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It will, maintaining friendships and especially new ones requires a lot of effort. I’m saying when you meet people you don’t think they’ll be your SO, but rather a new friend. That’s now an entirely different conversation, one which has a much more relaxed nature, increasing the chances of a potential relationship.

Yeah well I already have a ton of friends. I just think you can’t claim it will work 100% for everyone, because you can’t prove that.

You’re missing the point by like a mile, you have to be open to new ones. Relationships don’t just appear out of nowhere.
