Do you know how hard it is to have any male friends as a woman? My best friend is male and gay and it is a perfect balance. However I would have loved to have had the chance (esp when younger) to have a friend who developed into a boyfriend. I feel like this is rarely possible irl and something that women are interested in much more than men. Just my experience and opinion.
So do you have personal experience with a male friend where the relationship went from friends to dating, but it was not your intention to date him?
Tell that to the sap who does everything for the friend, hoping one day he/she will be recognized, only to have the "friend" treat them like a doormat! I've been there, many years ago, and boy, I've learned my lesson. Never again! If I'm not seen as relationship material, adios.
I was the same way. I was the sap who did not express my feelings and intention upfront. Why not be friends first? Lesson learned.
I'm kinda glad you brought this up. I'm in a similar situation right now.
This girl, who expressed interest in me, wanted to be "just friends" after i told her that I wasn't interested. But my problem is that she calls and texts everyday; sometimes multiple times a day.
It almost seems like she had someone else she was interested in but that must have fallen through. I say this because no friend texts or calls multiple times a day.

The closest I've seen it is when a guy is dating the girls friend.
He has the romance thing sussed out with the other girl... but can still be near enough to share too.
But these are also the most likely to grow into a cheating situation.
Especially if she has a figure like yours.
I met my husband when I was 17 through mutual friends. We did not date at that time and were just friends. During college he went his way and I went mine, but still talked every so often. At 25 we ran into each other while I was out with my friends. We started talking and catching up. A few weeks later we went on our official first date. 7 months later we were engaged and we have now been married 15 years.
Can you be friends first? Sure I was, but you need to maintain that friendship to make an relationship work.

Eh?
She's said she's not had experience with it and with the friend she mentioned I'd suspect she had no intention of dating him because he's GAY!.... Bit of an obstacle to overcome mate
To answer your OP though no I'd much rather they wasn't friends beforehand as I've known women that were friends or even acquaintances and the spark just wasn't there for me overall.
