Which friend dated Robert?
In "The One Where Monica and Richard Are Just Friends", we are introduced to this man named Robert who is an athletic guy and is therefore always in athletic attire.

This is an easy one. Ross's on again off again relationship with this friend is one of the main storylines of this entire series and if you don't know the answer to this question, not only have you never seen the show, but you have probably never been on social media either. You might even say that this relationship is the whole purpose of the show since the beginning and end ending both revolve around the relationship between these two characters.

One by one, each friend finds out about the secret relationship between Chandler and this other friend, but who is the lucky lady?

Her hair is just below shoulder length in her first appearance on the show and returns with a short bob after Phoebe offers to cut her hair.

Aurora was an Italian woman who was formerly an Israeli soldier who dated one of the friends in "The One With The Butt". However, as she was dating him, she was also married to a man named Rick, as well as had a boyfriend, Ethan, on the side. Although our friend was initially content with this because of how incredible Aurora was, when she picked up another boyfriend, Andrew, he realized he had had enough and decided to call it off.
Which friend dated Richard?
Prior to any of his appearances on the show, Richard Burke was for a long period of time married to Barbara and together they had two children, Michelle and Timothy Burke.

Richard is also the grandfather of his daughter's son, Henry. He is present in nine episodes, first appearing in season two.
Which friend dated David?
David, also known as David the Scientist Guy, was the first serious love interest of one of our beloved friends. Their romance ended when David had to go to Minsk to work. David's dialogues are characterized by his lack of fluency in speaking (his lines are often punctuated by stutters and 'um's), a fact which Chandler brings out to Monica in "The One In Barbados, Part 1". Though he only appears in five episodes, he is one of the main secondary characters since he appears in multiple seasons.
Which friend dated Ursula?
Ursula originally appeared as a ditzy waitress on Mad About You, working at Paul and Jamie's favorite New York City restaurant, Riff's. When Lisa Kudrow was cast as Phoebe, who also lives in New York City, producers decided to have the character cross over into Friends. Ursula is usually regarded for her incompetence when it comes to doing her job, due to being almost completely oblivious to what's happening around her. However, this mostly stems from her apathetic attitude towards other people and their needs.
Who dated Janine?
Elle Macpherson plays a beautiful Australian dancer who moves in with Joey after Chandler moves out to live with Monica. All three men are attracted to her and Joey and Ross each thinks that they have a shot of being with her. She is not interested in either at first but after the hype of being on "Dick Clark's New Years Rockin' Eve", some feelings start to develop. She invited the friends to go with her and did not expect what happened next.
Who dated Elizabeth?
Elizabeth is twelve years younger than the friend that she dates which is often brought up by the others and the opposing people around them. It was originally planned that the sixth season would end with learning that Elizabeth was pregnant, only to realize that our friend was not the father after the birth towards the end of the seventh season, but the producers abandoned this plot idea as it would have involved a great deal of investment in a secondary character with no actual result.
Which friend dated Paul?
Paul Stevens is Elizabeth's father. Played by Bruce Willis in a three-episode story arc, Paul had a strong distaste for Ross and disapproved of his relationship with Elizabeth. Paul is an eccentric character who makes fun of Ross whenever he can. A muscular, physically imposing man, he intimidates him very much and takes advantage of it. No matter how hard poor Ross tries his best to be polite to his girlfriend's father, Paul shows almost no hesitation whatsoever to snipe at Ross with mean and harsh words.
Which friend dated Fun Bobby?
Fun Bobby first appears in "The One With The Monkey", when he shows up as a date at the New Years Party. He does not live up to his nickname, however, when he shows up in a flood of tears and reveals that his grandfather has just passed away and, not being able to get a flight out, he decided to show up to the party. He shows up again in season two only to find out that the only reason he is fun to be around is that he has a drinking problem.
Who dated Tag?
Tag Jones is an attractive 24-year-old whom Rachel hires as her assistant at Ralph Lauren in Season 7. His resume contains qualifications like "three years of painting houses" and "two whole summers at T.G.I. Friday's". Rachel picked him for the job because of his good looks but believed that her attraction to him would not be a problem. Being quite younger than the woman he is dating, they quickly start to realize that they are not on the same page and the relationship would not be going anywhere.
Which friend dated Bonnie?
Bonnie is a friend of Phoebe's, distinctly remembered by Rachel for having a bald head. Phoebe asked Rachel if she could set Bonnie up with Ross, and Rachel deviously agreed, thinking that Ross would not be interested due to Bonnie being bald. However, when Phoebe does introduce Bonnie to Ross, it is revealed that she is very attractive and does, in fact, have hair. At the beach house, Rachel later convinces her to shave her head again out of jealousy.
Which friend dated Gavin?
Gavin Mitchell appears during Season 9 in "The One Where Rachel Goes Back to Work" to "The One Where Monica Sings." He is portrayed by Dermot Mulroney. At first, our friend found him very rude but after he offered to look after Emma while she had a presentation she found that very kind. In the next episode, despite what she says, she quite likes him. Although very short-lived, lasting only three episodes, this was one of the more rewarding romances of the series.
Which friend dated Malcolm?
Malcolm is Ursula's stalker in "The One With The Jam", who meets Phoebe shortly after mistaking her for Ursula and consequently beginning to stalk her, appearing to be embarrassed when she confronts him and informs him that she is Ursula's twin sister. It quickly becomes clear that Malcolm has an unhealthy obsession with Ursula which is making him "love drunk," but Phoebe seemingly helps him get over this until she realizes that his obsession has only transferred over to his new girlfriend.
Which friend dated Joshua?
Joshua Burgin appeared in several episodes in Season 4. One of the girls meets him at work and is very attracted to him but can't find the nerve to ask him out. When she finally does work up the courage, he misunderstands and ends up going on what was supposed to be the date without her. They finally get on the same page and start dating for a while but Joshua is scared off when things go too quickly and crazy ideas of marriage come up.
Who dated Emily?
Emily Waltham starts off as such a minor character but quickly becomes very important before becoming irrelevant once more. Though much more serious than some of the other relationships, the one involving Emily seems a lot less relevant than some others that don't have quite as big a development. The gang meets Emily through Rachel. She is her boss' niece and he asks Rachel to entertain her while she is staying in New York City. Soon after, wedding bells ring.
Which friend dated Russ?
Russell "Russ" is a man that one of the friends dates for one episode in "The One With Russ". He looks and acts eerily similar to Ross. This freaks everyone out except for Ross and the one dating him. Ross is, however, very jealous of him. At the end of the episode, Russ talks to friends, informing them of his breakup when Julie enters and meets eyes with Russ. Russell actually never mentions his last name which leaves the possibility that he and Ross are actually related open.
Which friend dated Phoebe?
Phoebe Buffay is best known for her bohemian lifestyle and silly wit, and her guitar playing in Central Perk. While everyone who has seen the show knows that she ends up marrying Mike Hannigan, who we may consider an honorary friend at this point, she has gone through a very long path in order to find him. One relationship after another, none lasting very long, Phoebe lacked the emotional intimacy that she eventually found in Mike thanks to Joey's accidental setup.
