I have a friend who has been with a guy for about 3 years now. The first 6 months of their relationship right after they met was just a hookup. They didn't go out on dates, talked/emailed once or twice a week, and hooked up once a week or so. Now, they are in a serious, committed, relationship. They just fell in love. They both did what they needed but realized they now only want to be with eachother. I am very happy for them, but our other friends talk crap about their relationship. Anyone else had an experience like this, since many think it can't happen?

Love just happens when you least expect it. It's not something you can turn on and off, and it's rare when it happens to both people at the same time, so screw everybody else. It's none of their business, and they are probably just jealous.

Words like 'babe' usually signal flirtation. Look at his overall attitude towards other women, and particularly that friend he called babe. Does he seem like the type of person who can be trusted? If he does, than 'babe' is fine, but if he seems flirty in general, that could be a problem. Sometimes people need to learn what is okay and what's not in a relationship. My guess is that he will tell you that he won't use the term 'babe' on the friend anymore, and he will just learn to hide things from you instead of being open. So, make sure that you explained it to him properly, so that he really understands why it bothers you, and why you don't think it's okay. My husband, when we were first dating, used to compliment other girls on their clothes, hair, etc. and it used to bother me. He thought it was a way of being nice, (and it is) but I told him that some women might get the wrong impression. (and one did). So we talked about other ways he could be nice and friendly without seeming flirtatious. Maybe you should take a similar approach with your bf. It worked for me.

I am in that position right now!!!!!! I have been a booty call relationship for about a year and a half with this guy......but all of a sudden something changed....feelings developed, and....gasp... maybe...even.....love! I am just about to take it to that next level and am happy to hear that it has worked out for another couple! Screw what other people think of their relationship. Love is love. There is no judging how it happens. Just be happy it happens.

Sure; me and my fiance met off internet. I had about 2 month before i had to go to Iraq for a year long (including my 2 weeks that we take in a middeployment) so we both knew that its going to be my 2 week leave fling because i had to go to ny from nc. All i had is 2 weeks in ny and thats where he is from. We spend the most amazing 14 days enjoying every single day together like there is no tomorrow. I had to leave soon and the night i left i was on a phone with him and i told him that i have to tell him something. He apparently felt like something is up and he caught me before i even spoke up saying "I love you too babe" Funny that i was gon tell him that but he overtook me. Since then we still going strong.....

I hate to say it but it won't last. Usually these types of relationships the longer it goes on the more they realize that it was because of the sex. That is why your other friends talk crap about them. It usually doesn't last. You can be happy for them but just brace yourself when they come complaining about each other.

As long as their happy, who cares what their friends think. If your good friends with them then just try to be supportive. Who cares how their relationship got started. Their in love now and that's all that matters.

I have been with my GF for almost 4 yrs now, and thats kinda how we started out. As we spent time with each other and talked, it became more serious. I'm not saying its the healthiest way to start a relationship, but it worked for us.

Oh, no, it certainly can happen and turn out well. Problem is MOST of such relationships end with one person hurting and miserable. Be happy for your friends and urge the naysayers to do the same.

thats one great way to find someone special..it add excitement and a new twist to the way the relationship began.. love does happen like that and its wonderfull.. if they are happy then who care what others say. its thier life and thiers alone.. they will decide who can join in thier happiness.. if your happy for then, then thats great.. who can jugde how a couple forms their relationship..no one cuz no ones perfect.. everyone has thier own methods of finding happiness and true love!
