Is It A Good Idea To Make Friendships With Girls Before Dating Them? I'm Afraid Of Getting Into That "just Friends" Level, But Then Again... I'd Date Girls More For Their Personality Rather Than Their Looks.

It's always a good idea to have friendships and it's great that you like a girls personality more than looks as that's what really matters.
You sound like a really nice person and one who would be happier making friendships before dating. That's a good foundation for a relationship and you'll have things to talk about if and when you take relationships further than just friendship.
I wouldn't think that you'll get stuck in a just friends level. With some friendships this will happen of course but it probably would anyway.
Your bound to meet some girls who you want to ask out without first being friends but neither way is wrong.
The advantage of friendships is that they last longer than some dates and you'll value the friendship of the girls you know.
Don't worry about it and do what feels best for you. Going for a good personality is much more mature and the basis for strong relationships on any level.

There are different approaches that guys take when it comes to dating girls. Some believe in the approach of dating first, and then seeing what happens from there, and then there are others who believe in knwing a girl first and then dating, if they find they are okay with each other. The method you choose depends on your approach. Both these approaches have their own advantages and pitfalls.

If you choose to date first directly, it is like going out with an unknown person - you never know what the other person is like. There are chances you will end up having a disappointing evening. However, if you are looking at a no commitments kind of a scene, this is a good way to go. Dating directly means you have no emotional entanglements at the start itself.

If you choose to know the other person, the obvious disadvantage, as you said yourself, is the possibility of getting into the 'just friends' level. However, the advantages are far too many. For one, you will already know the person, and that is a big plus. Because you are going out with her only because you like her. It is a good approach if you are looking at something of a bigger magnitude than just dating.
