I'm single, middle aged, with a fairly busy social life and a wide range of friends.
I've heard this more than once from men, who've got a bit frisky after a drink, even asked me out the odd time, then decided not to continue for fear of spoiling the friendship.
I get it, one in particular, if it had gone horribly wrong would have ruined a friendship group that's very important to me and I wasn't that bothered about the man either, so it was the sensible decision, rather than having a thing that was always going to fizzle out.
However, don't a lot of the best relationships start as friendships? And how do I go about meeting someone who doesn't move in the same circles as me?
I tried OLD for a bit and that was a miserable experience.
