Starting out as Friends with Mexican Women

“Do you want to be friends?”

As a child, you may have encountered this line on the playground or in the classroom. Back then, everything was so much simpler. It didn’t matter if you had a smudge on your cheek or if you were wearing your shirt inside out. People approached you simply because they genuinely wanted to be friends.

And sometimes, that friendship develops into something even more.

The same old, same old

You see it in tv shows all the time — the guy or girl falling for their best friend. As the show progresses and the plot thickens, their love for each other grows deeper until, finally, they become an item.

It’s a breath of fresh air to see friends turning into lovers instead of seeing couples fall head over heels for each other at first sight. These characters you see on screen might be fictional, but their experiences resonate with a lot of us.

It’s why these shows gain a lot of ratings.

Mexican telenovelas nowadays are about whirlwind romances and forbidden love. And quite frankly? Even their most loyal viewers are sick of seeing the same old cut-and-dry formula.

What the current audience wants to see — the majority of whom are Mexican women — is the slow burn type of love. They want it to be real and they want the exact same thing for themselves.

Mexicanas who are dating with marriage in mind do not want to end up with a guy that puts half his heart into it. They have to be picky with their partners if they want to build long and lasting relationships.

They don’t expect sparks to fly immediately on the first few dates.

This is perfectly fine, of course. After all, some of the best relationships often start out as friendships.

Why Mexicanas prefer to start out as friends

Mexican women tend to earn the looks of many. And sometimes, these people don’t see beyond their gorgeous visage.

It’s hard to deny being attracted to beautiful people, but more often than not some people mistake these feelings of awe for something much deeper.

Even with the case of love at first sight, it isn’t really “love — it’s physical attraction. It is only by chance that people find someone who manages to check all the boxes in their preference list.

And that’s what most people don’t realize until later on in the relationship.

Being friends gives you ample time to be familiar with each other, find common ground, and figure out whether you can see each other eye to eye. You don’t necessarily have to nod your head to every single thing she says, but at least you are able to talk without fear of ruining the relationship.

You would also have to discover for yourself whether her vision aligns with yours. It pays to think ahead in the relationship and leave everything to fate. Your future plans affect her just as much and her future might not even have you in it.

Topics like these often scare off new couples. You can’t really blame them — talking about the future makes it seem like you’re ready to commit. You aren’t even sure of the relationship yet!

Starting off as friends is a great way to test out the waters. You don’t have to put up a facade nor do you need to meet expectations. It’s just you and her.

And that’s the kind of relationship other Mexican women dream of having.

Can Men and Women really be friends?

Absolutely!

Now you might be thinking, isn’t this supposed to give you a guide on how you can start out as friends with Mexican women before turning into lovers?

Yes it is. The thing is, not all friendships bloom into romantic relationships. Later on, in the course of your friendship, you might realize later on that you have no chemistry whatsoever. You might even find that you’re incompatible as a couple.

People are often pressured into thinking that this is impossible because the other might catch feelings. But just because you’re of the opposite sex, it’s not impossible to view them as just friends.

Think of all the female friends you have. Do you feel attracted to them? Can you see yourself in a romantic relationship with them? If not, then you have your answer.

But of course, all this can change in the future. It all depends on how well you fit in each other’s mold.

When is it the right time to transition from friends to lovers?

Now this is the most difficult part to tackle when it comes to platonic relationships.

Some people are quick to end a friendship when one admits their feelings to the other. This is most possibly because they somehow feel responsible and they will feel guilty for not returning their feelings.

Some people, however, are not willing to risk their friendship over these feelings. Because they value you as a friend, they have to reject you — kindly, of course.

Fortunately for you, Mexcianas are very much open to the idea of dating a friend, even if her feelings aren’t that of love yet.

You can go out together like you usually do. There isn’t much of a difference when you finally become a couple — you’re only switching labels.

The unique thing about a friends-to-lovers scenario is that even if you’re already a couple, you will always be a friend first.

Much like any other relationship, it’s not always smooth sailing. There will always be fights in a relationship, even between friends.

But because you know each other at the back of your hand, it’s much easier to understand each other’s point of view.

Friends to Lovers: Why the risk is worth it

There exists a fine line between being friendly and flirting. What started out as a friendship may just turn into hopeful romance. It’s just a matter of whether you’re taking the risk or not.

So if ever you befriend a Mexicana, bear in mind that you may not end up together in the end. Think of it much like you do with any of your other relationships. If you are truly meant for each other, then it will work itself out.
