<p>I’ve found that dating a guy I’ve just met doesn’t last for more than a month…ever. </p>
<p>When I want to have a relationship with a guy (I’m over the whole dating around thing, so yeah), I want to get to know him as a friend first so our foundation is more than just, “Hey, you’re hot.”</p>
<p>The difference between a guy just being a friend or a boyfriend usually lies in that I’m not romantically attracted to him for one or more reasons (as in personality clashes, lifestyle differences, different views on life/beliefs/goals/careers/family, etc). You can’t force or change that kind of thing…some people just aren’t compatible.</p>
