Sure, then CAN be both, but which factor rates HIGHER in your "date critical" equation???
                    
                    
                    What do you value more in your date, that they are a good LOVER or a good FREIND?

                        Friend for me.  There is more to a relationship than sex for me, and I've noticed that most of the relationships that focus mostly on sex seem to fall apart when there's any kind of serious issue. For me, sex won't comfort me after a fight with a friend, or after the death of a loved one, or after a bunch of other things that I would rather talk over with my best friend, who also happens to be my lover.

                        I agree completely Sam...even though sex plays a huge factor for me its not everything.Having your partner be your best friend is important to make it work

                        Ditto to this for me too.  There are times when we can't have sex - one of us is ill, injured, out of town, etc - and our friendship is extra important during those times!

                        Definitely friend! Also, I find it really hard to imagine someone being a good lover for me but not also being a good friend. The things I value in sex partners are very deeply tied to what qualities are important to me in friends.

                        I couldn't stand to be dating someone who wasn't good friend material.

                        Friend. That way, if things go south and the relationship doesn't work out to something we both can be happy with, we can agree to still be really good friends after it all. It may sting a little, but we can survive and grow from it and still have love and respect for each other.

                        Friend, no matter how good the sex is, I still need someone I can talk to.  Life isn't all about sex (no matter how much I sometimes think it is) and I need other things to be able to maintain a relationship.

                        Friend, most of your  time together won't be sex.

                        A friend for me because I have to have something in common with them besides sex because the majority of the day's not going to be sex.

                        I'd prefer a good friend, they'll be there when you need them most. Sex is great and all but not as important as emotional reliability
