Beyond Friends
Even though Reynolds and Lively went on their dates with two different people in October 2011, they went out on two dates together. In an interview with E!, Reynolds said that although they had romantic interests on set, it took them a year to discover that they were a good match since “we were friends then.” After Green Lantern finished filming and everything else had happened, we were both single for about a year, which was a comical time in my life.
The catastrophic double date was described by Reynolds, who said that it “was the most uncomfortable evening for their separate dates probably because we were just like sparks coming across.”
The Most Valued Friendship
Ryan and Blake’s friendship before they started dating is made abundantly evident by the fact that they are now a couple. She discussed her career on the SiriusXM show presented by Entertainment Weekly, which had Reynolds as a guest. He remarked the instant he realized that he and Lively were more than just friends at that time.
He explained it by saying, “At first, it appeared unusual, but we were friends for a very long time.” To begin a potential romantic connection on a friendly basis is, in my view, the most successful strategy. After serving together as Green Lanterns for over a year, Reynolds and Lively finally realized that their friendship had the potential to blossom into a romantic relationship.
