Yeah, it’s tough working with clients that you really like as people. Especially since the new conventional teachings are “it’s all about the ‘relationship'”.
Heck, forget the “let’s go out”. What about when they start to “friend” me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter? What happens when they stumble across my Active Rain rants about “the client who…[fill in the blank]”.

I’ve not found the same to be true for me personally. For me, real estate is not my life (not saying it is for you either, I just can’t phrase it any better). I’m not going to say no to a friendship so I can get my job done. Friends are more important to me. I get that you can hurt friendships if business goes sour, but I haven’t had this happen…yet.
I listed a very good friends’ house and couldn’t get it sold. They re-listed with somebody else who promptly got it sold…for $65k less than what we had it listed for.
Lesson learned. I should have listed it at my professional opinion, and not their desires. Things were awkward for a day or two, and we’re still good friends.
I don’t make friends with all my clients (I don’t like them all), but I certainly don’t refuse friendships to stay professional.
Just a different way of doing things…works for some, not for others.
