That doesn't mean it works, that just means that after time friends can have a relationship. That can easily happen, but if a guy is continuing with a girl as a friend "to see where things lead", that is a horrible idea.
Being friends first worked for me in this case, but it didn't work for me all the time either

i'm sure when you were friends with your current gf, you guys were both dating other people and not friends with her just so you could someday be with her.
That is true, we did used to see other people. I never considered the possibility of ever dating her until I moved back to our home state.
Must be time to get my eyes checked. I thought this said "best friend's first does it worse" and was about sex. Anyway, I'd say it depends on why she's saying it. In theory, it's good to just get to know each other first without worrying about any of the pressures of dating some might worry about but if she's just saying it to essentially keep you on reserve, that wouldn't be fair to you and probably wouldn't work out so well.
if you happen to already be friends with a gal, and then a romantic interest develops then yes it helps
if you've always had a mutual attraction, but it couldn't be pursued for whatever reason (not single, long distance, etc), then circumstances change, then yes it helps
but if you make a move on a single gal and she "just wants to be friends"... no it doesn't help. no way. never in a million years. do not pass go do not collect $200. chalk it up to my "guyness" if you want but it's just a bad sign

Thanks for saying what I've been trying to say more clearly than my foggy brain is capable of right now!
