Do good friends not necessarily make good romantic partners?

This is a question I think of frequently. It seems that complimentary skills that would help in a romantic partnership are unlikely to be found in complimentary friendships. What that means is that what romantic partnerships require to be satisfying to both partners can be mutually exclusive with what a friendship requires of each other. <br><br>For example complimentary skills that are good for a romantic partnership are for one partner to be more adventurous and the other more cautious. Or one partner more quick witted, and the other more caring. For romantic partnerships this complementary quality is necessary for the relationship to be satisfying. But friendships don't require that kind of cooperation. Probably because of that, friendships usually grow out of shared skills, and compatible personalities. Like, it's good if you're both complimentary to each other, but not necessary. <br><br>What do you think? Do romantic partnerships require a dynamic with different complimentary qualities as compared to friendships?
