Friendship is NOT a prerequisite. It's all about CHEMISTRY and how much you can garner her interest. No, I don't think you should bed a lady as soon as possible. If you do that you're being too easy and moving too fast.
As a matter of fact, you CAN take her out on bunch of dates and still get her in bed, if you stay cool, funny, and interesting. You can be friends later.
>>12,
If your female friends are falling for you, you must be 1)a Brad Pitt lookalike, 2)loaded, or 3) Not acting like a traditional friend. Because I know if I asked ANY of my female friends for a date they'd worm their way out with things like "Not ready for a relationship," "Don't want to lose friendship" etc. etc.
