Asalaamu Calaykum.
.... the initial attraction/chemistry has to be there for u to give them a chance to grow on u, but for most ppl, u know initially if that's a person ud like to get to know better or if its not ur type at all.
i totally disagree,may be in hollywood,yes!There are people who known eahc other for a long time as friends,, no chemistry, nothing ,, and one day fall in love , get married and live happily.
For those who love u,, u are lucky, i advice u to take the extra mile with them,, u will never know wat will be there,,and at the end , u will not regret,,by the way people don't date thinking that for sure u will endup together,, life is short....
if u are not upto for this adventure, tell them the truth,hopefully they will understand.
bye now
