Dating/effing within your circle of friends

[AlethiaSi]

I try not to date or eff around within my circle of friends, it never works out well, hurt feelings, messed up friendships, etc. It's happened before.

friends of friends? If we hit it off, absolutely, but it doesn't happen that often... I think my friends are just losers with loser friends

I don't necessarily prefer to date strangers, i think i'd rather have an "endorsement" from a friend.

I like to date people whom I know from similar activites/interests that are not in my circle of friends. For example, I'd date a guy that know from classes or church (or some other large-scale environment like that), but not one that hangs around with me and my friends.
