1. When Harry first met Sally, he asserted that men and women could not be friends because the "sex part
always gets in the way". However, new research suggests that roughly two-thirds of couples begin as friends and
maintain a platonic relationship for long periods before sparking a romance.
2. Stinson and her co-authors investigated the experiences of nearly 1,900 university students and
crowdsourced adults (including 677 who were married or in common-law partnerships). All participants were
asked whether they were friends with their current romantic partner before becoming romantically involved. Most
participants (68%) reported that their current or most recent romantic relationship began as a friendship, regardless
of gender, age, education level, or ethnic group. The rate of friends-first initiation was even higher among
those in their 20s and within LGBTO+ communities, with 85% of such couples stating that their romance
began as a friendship. How a platonic relationship turns romantic and what really distinguishes friends from
lovers remains a question still being explored, Stinson said.

introductions, going on trips together, cuddling by the fire, and even having sex as friendship. Others categorized
those same behaviors as romantic. "So there is a huge, messy, blurry line between friendship and romance ... it
emphasizes how you really cannot define for somebody else what a friendship is versus what a romance is she said.
"They define it for themselves".
4. In the study, roughly 300 university students were also asked how long their "friends phase" lasted and
whether they preferred to be friends before taking things in a romantic direction. On average, friends-turned-
