Most relationships I've had have developed from friendships first. I have commitment issues so even deciding to date someone is a big step for me. Friendship is a good way to relax with someone without there being any pressures. I also get crushes really easily so the friendship step either allows that initial spark to die a natural death without hurting the friendship, or if it stands the test of time and familiarity then it can potentially progress to something more.
I also distrust my first impressions of people. Everyone's been burnt at some stage, I'm just a little more hesitant than most to get burnt again. So I like to know a lot about a person before I can trust them with my emotional life. This goes for friends as well as relationships.
