That sounds nice in theory, but it rarely works that way.
I'm 37, so I've lived most of my life meeting people in the traditional, real-world way. I started online dating when I was 30, and continued for about 2 years. In both cases, the "friends first" thing nearly always leads to "friends only". We've all heard of the friend zone. And, unfortunately, its all too real. The relationship develops as a friendship and gets stuck there.
