Search bar approved with a few different attempted phrases, but I can't promise anything. I don't trust that thing.
Anywho, for the sake of argument, I've assumed that you are heterosexual and of either gender. (If such is false, go ahead and substitute the exact opposite of what I'm about to drone on about, and if you are a dog, bark woof bark.) Age of consent, healthy, and whatever else floats your boat to avoid strange questions.
For whatever hypothetical reasons you find most agreeable, you haven't had much luck on the dating front. Attempts at the opposite sex either end up less than ideal or fail spectacularly. During your dating escapades, you meet someone of your own gender (or opposite, if you usually prefer the same sex) and you become friends.
As time goes on, you realize that this friend is, more or less, your dream individual with the wrong set of genitalia. Perhaps they're really into the same obscure movies and games you are, maybe they have your dream car, maybe their hips are just really nice, I'm not certain what you're into - take your ideal partner template and apply it to a same-sex friend. Unless it's part of your fantasy, it can be assumed that this person is either homosexual or open to the following idea. They also have no hardcore addictions that would cause relationship problems, and are financially stable with no debilitating diseases.
So, Escapists, would you try to form a relationship with someone you normally wouldn't, given the idea that they are quite literally the perfect person you've been searching for?
