Maybe it was on here I've heard this before but here goes anyhow.
Is it better to start off as friends when looking for a relationship or find someone seeking a relationship themselves? I would think that starting off as friends could ruin said friendship if the relationship went south.

As I believe I may have mentioned before on other threads, my take on the whole "friends-first" thing is, it can work very well, if you are a girl who is friends with a guy, and then you decide you have feelings for him...
If you are a guy though, it almost never works; actually in fact very close to a 0% probability of success
I think starting out as friends can be a good thing, as long as that's all you were. The people who are friends, in hope to someday get a relationship with the other person are just pathetic.
My husband and I started off as co-workers and friends. I knew him for two years that way and then we started dating, and a few months later, got married. We'll celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary this March.
It really depends. If both people like each other but want to take it slow then I don't see the problem. However the problem arises when one person only likes the other as a friend and the other is interested.Most of the successful marriages I know started as friends only. They got to know each other and saw they were compatible.

How have your strategies been working out for you?

No, because it's too easy to get into the friend zone and you may lose your friendship if the relationship doesn't end. Speaking generally, I see it as a red flag when the vast majority of someone's friends are of the opposite gender. I'd be skeptical of dating a girl whose friends are mainly guys.
