You hear it time and again, "I just want to fall in love with my best friend." But the second we start talking to a potential date, we do anything but treat them like a new friend. I have long been puzzled by this, yet it seems universally true. When we meet a potential new friend at a dinner party, a meet-up or wherever you tend to meet new friends, we go about building that relationship completely opposite of the one we begin to build with someone we potentially could be with for the rest of our life. I don't have any answers about why this is (feel free to share your thoughts in the comments) but I can encourage you to bring a few practices of friendship into your dating to create a kinder and more authentic experience...and just maybe you'll build a friendship that turns into the romance with a best friend you've been longing to love.
