Relationship question

I’m curious—what’s your idea of taking things slow in a new relationship? Do you think it’s better to start as friends first, or is there a way to find a balance between getting to know someone and letting something romantic develop naturally? I’d love to hear your thoughts on how to make a connection feel comfortable from the beginning.

I think it works best with friends of friends. That is, your friend knows my friend and we meet up, get a feel for each other then make a decision on progressing to a more intimate situation. It leaves more options available to both parties. You can stay casual if the connection is not there or move forward if the sparks start to fly.
