smartblonde Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 What has a better chance of being a successful long-term relationship.... One in which the man and woman are friends first and then the relationship evolves into an LTR? or One which starts out hot and heavy and then settles into a LTR?
USMCHokie Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 My last LTR started off hot and heavy and eventually settled into a LTR. The girl I'm currently seeing is moving at a much slower pace...not sure which I prefer or which I think is the better way...sometimes I miss the "hot-n-heavy"-ness of my last LTR...
LoveLace Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 I wouldn't think there is a right or wrong or best way to start necessarily, what matters most is what happens after that...sometimes the result is an effect of the way it started, but sometimes not. Just all depends on the people involved, I guess..

aerogurl87 Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 I don't think it matters really, what matters is how well both people communicate with each other and whether or not they want to move at the same pace. I personally prefer relationships that move at a quicker pace and then settle into being a LTR.
thegoodlife Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 I don't think there's a better way. Each individual and each relationship is different. My first LTR started off hot and heavy and then settled. My second LTR we established a friendship first. Both were very long, happy, and successful relationships while they lasted and that's what worked for us.

One in which the man and woman are friends first and then the relationship evolves into an LTR? or One which starts out hot and heavy and then settles into a LTR? Coin flip. Not being in the top 5% in looks/charisma, the first option is a direct route to the friendzone and "hot and heavy" is extremely difficult to achieve.
