That's how I got together with my girlfriend

But it's a shit plan if that's your goal from the beginning.

how long did you know each other before confessing your feelings to one another? how did she react? howcome you weren't rejected for being in the friendzone?

I was a friend with a guy for 5 years before I developed romantic feelings for him. 2 years later I confessed, and he felt the same.
But we never became a couple.

>how come you weren't rejected for being in the friendzone?

A lot of it has to do with not thinking about fucking her senseless just because she's talking to you. That's like playing a game on ultra hard mode. You don't necessarily have to be a girl's friend to fuck her, but being in love with someone has to do with more than just sex. Honestly, being too friendly and already treating her like you're in a relationship with her is a huge turn off. The feelings come gradually and so does the sex. But, as I said before, if sex is the first thing on your mind when you see her, then it's most likely not going to work and it's going to affect you in a bad way. You're going to start to being too nice and doing a little too much to get in her pants. Any person with a brain will know you're faking it, especially after they reject you. I'm speaking from experience; I had to learn the hard way. Also, not the same you guy you asked.

We knew each other for about three or four years before dating

I asked her out once, she turned me down, about three months later I started to see someone else and she approached me after that. We did a casual thing for a bit, I accidently called her my girlfriend, she got mad so I asked her out proper.

This is not a guide to success. It's a happy accident.

a)three months
b)not much of a reaction, we met up as friends, end of the day we were kissing, not rocket science
c)no such thing. If there is attraction, there is attraction, if there isn't, there isn't

>Is it really not possible to just start as friends and gradually fall in love?
It is possible, but there is a catch: timing is critical. Both people MUST start at the same time -or at least very nearly the same time- or it doesn't work. Unrequited love is bad for the psyche.

>Steve Urkel did it. I want that to be my life.
Steve Urkel isn't real.
