Personally , I wouldn ' t do that as a first timer I ' d try to meet someone who knew I ' m new to this and more patient . Maybe try the grindr app if you haven ' t made up your mind yet . You can see the guys and their cocks beforehand and know what you ' re walking into <| sep |> You may like John , but no one likes Jon . <| sep |> I miss spawns streams . <| sep |> If it doesn ' t have an equally tiny Goyard boutique , that ain ' t Paris <| sep |> Most adult relationships differ from friendships when it comes to shared property and family . You don ' t raise a kid with a person that is just a friend in most cases and you also don ' t she a bank account with them . I think that ' s missing the point of the question a bit . In real terms , raising a family requires practical differences in the way partners interact and live . Combined financial , parenting and other responsibilities necessitate that . Those differences arise because of the circumstances though , not because of an inherent side effect of relationship vs friendship . Speaking personally , I ' ve raised a family etc , but outside of practical differences , I ' d be hard pressed to explain the difference between a friendship and a relationship . My relationships have all basically been friendships .
