“He’s just a very good friend” or “She’s just a very good friend”, a line that several single and searching people use to downplay the possibility of getting into any romantic or more intimate relationships with people they’ve known and are familiar with for a good period of time.

Many people would instead want to explore the chances of giving a total stranger the opportunity of getting to know them before considering them as potential spouses, rather than taking such a risk with people whom they’ve known longer and are ‘GOOD FRIENDS’ with.

This brings about the topic of discussion for this very episode; Why Do People Hardly Consider Romantic Relationships With Friends?

Could this be due to over-familiarity with the friend in question who probably stands (or in this case where they most likely wouldn’t be considered because of the friendship; STOOD) a chance, or fear of losing both a friend and a partner in a person should the romantic relationship not eventually work out, or could it be something else entirely?

Join Godwyn OD, Lakeside, and Amherrika on this Episode of ‘HEY, LET’S TALK’ as we take to talk about this exciting conversation from different relatable perspectives.
