Basically, do you think it's better to start off a relationship after just meeting someone, or is it better to have relationships with people that you have been friends with for a while?
Friends vs. Strangers
For short (no pun intended) term excitement, I'd say new aquaints are fine.
For lasting committment like I have with my wife of 12+ years and friend of 25+ years, I'd say get to know them real well first.

It depends on the two people meant to be together. There are people who start off their relationship in the internet, phone, cellphone, activities or other means. I mean, it doesn't matter how you see each other, how you were acquainted, how did you meet. What matter most is the commitment for each other.

Strangers are better than the friendly devils!

ive been with my girlfriend for almost 3 years now and the first thing i ever said to her face to face was "do you wana go out?". SO i guess technically we were strangers and look how it turned out. WE were a perfect match for eacother.
We had talked quite a bit over the internet before but never face to face. And once we started going out it was very slow. I guess we had the title of "dating" over our head but really we were only getting to know eachother as if we were friends. After a long length of this just getting to know eachother it meant we had really strong foundations to move our relationship further and we are really strong from that!

You are right.
Any frienship starts between two strangers and its upto u to continue the relationship or not thats it.
well, actually depends..
dating with someone new is nice and exciting but at the same time, if u r lucky, that someone is not pervert or sick minded person with full of dark secrets..
while dating with a friend makes u feel more secure however, u will start tinking whether u shud date her more without any jeopardy when comes to friendships..

I have to say that friends are better than strangers from my experience. Most of my girlfriends including my wife were friends before I started dating them.
In many cases they were work colleagues.
Only a handful of my girlfriends with whom I had a real relationship were strangers, actually thinking back I can only recall one or two. The rest of the strangers just became one-night stands and I never started up a true relationship with them – a bad admission but I was young and stupid then.
Also maybe I am pretty dull looking and people had to become my friends and get to know me before they could find me attractive, who knows?
