Because statistically, two thirds of romantic relationships start as long-term friendship.

Of course everyone has a different story, but this many downvotes just show that acting like his own story is how it works for everyone is a mistake.

I'm sorry but there's no mention of long term. Meeting people through friends is very efficient, but I would argue that the more long term, the more display of affection are just emotional dump on the other person, and not interest.
