I think if I happened to be friends with someone and it went further, that is fine, but I would not go into a relationship with someone that spelled out that we were going to be friends first and then maybe lovers. Does that make sense? If it happens, it happens, but not a "planned" relationship.
Exactly! These are probably the cheapos who use the "friendship" as an excuse to go Dutch. It just sets such a roooomaaaantic moooood!
My other guess is that this is a prelude to a FWB offer.
If a boy or girl wanted to become friends/ get to know you first before actually dating you, would you do it knowing theres a chance you could get friend zoned?
What do you do with a friend? Hang out, catch a movie, grab a bite, go to a bar, talk and get to know one another.

Same thing, different labels. Being "friends first" is just dating but promising to keep the physical stuff out of the equation.
Yep, & when you're just friends, there aren't all of the stupid games people play trying to put up a false front to try to impress the other.
Then again, maybe they're not so stupid... just completely illusional & the sense of walking on cloud 99.

I don't know anything about games. It sounds like a convenient label people use when your personalities don't mesh.
Friends first would be fine as long as she understands being friends does not mean being exclusive. Friends means she doesn't have to know everything you are doing and who you are doing it with. When you are friends you are free to do whatever you wish, if she starts questioning what you do and who you see, that could ruin the friendship because she is expecting the relationship to be more than just friends.
