Have you ever ended up having a romantic or sexual relationship with someone you previously hated?

This is tough - I've only hated 2 or 3 people and they are still hated for strong personal reasons. I have never "stopped hating" someone, although I may forgive him or her. I did dislike some traits of my current SO when we were just friends, but other traits of his made up for the ones I disliked. Good options. I will find these much more revealing than just a yes or no.

No, but I have later had crushes on people I've initially not liked (hate is too strong a word).

Not hated but thought was extremely annoying.

It's hard for me to think of anyone I've ever hated, at least among people that I've known personally. There are people that I dislike, but "hate" is such a strong word. The only people that I really hate are people like Jesse Helms and Fred Phelps. (Did I get his name right?)

The song was by Pat Benatar as this intriguing article says.

I chose the word hate because it was succinct and clear in meaning to me, but if you notice, I added to use your own interpretation for the word. Perhaps that doesn't really say what I wish for it to. By hate, you can take that to mean the dictionary definition, a strong disklike, etc. Whatever you think is most appropriate for yourself concerning this survey.

No, but for some odd reason I am finding the idea strangely romantic.

It was with my highschool sweetheart, the relationship turned hateful after 5 years of being together and 2 years of living together. He moved away, and when his mother died, he moved back to town and we began a 'meaningless sex relationship'. I'm very sorry that it happened.

No. Usually it happens the other way around - I have a romantic or sexual relationship with someone I previously liked, and end up hating them.

No, but some of my best friendships started with an argument. As a rule, I like mean people (they don't suck). I find them to be the most interesting and intelligent people on the planet.

Have you seen the movie Lion in Winter?

Lion in Winter is one of my favorites ...

I hate sparingly, so no.

I agree with bill about arguments, though. Perhaps this is what I like so much about Survey Central.

It happens, if it didn't there would not be the wonderful term "hate-fudge"

what about "yes, and I'm ambivalent about it."

not really hated, but I did have sort-of-sex once with someone I really didn't like much before it, for some reason it happened, and then I went back to not really liking him much afterwards too

cracking up at the term "hate-fudge"

Hillbilly, I never heard of that term - but I'm going to try to use it as often as I can now.

Hate is too strong. I've had sex with people I used to not like. I've had sex with people I still didn't like. In the latter case, it wasn't a good idea, in the former, indifferent.

It's really really hard for me to hate someone. I can think of one, maybe two, people I could be said to hate. I cannot fathom being in even a conversation for more than a couple minutes with either of them.

wow. I'd never heard the term 'hate-fudge' before. That says so much with so little. wow.

I have been dating my girlfriend for about a year now. I first met her at her house party and we didn't hit it off immediately. The first time I spoke to her, we were downstairs by the door which was being left open for late arrivals. She was saying it should be closed because of the cold. I replied to her " Yeah, but then people won't know where the party is ". To which she replied hastily " Do you pay for the electricity round here." " No ", I replied. " Then shut up ", she added. We started dating a week later !!!!!!

Awww, that's cute!

I am now very very close to a man I once hated .......as close as I can be.....I love him deeply and at one time I couldn't
stand the mention of his name....
