- This is rather unusual in my experience. Most of the women I've talked to
- about this (relationship counselors and the like included) have said that
- they couldn't even consider dating someone who was already a good friend,
- because they would tend to think of such a person as a sibling. The
- relationship counselors that I've talked to have said that this generally
- applies. Dating a sibling feels wrong to most people...
