Before I put an end to 'fake friendships' (ones where more than 'friends' was the ultimate goal) it would infuriate me if the guy didn't want to be friends. I looked at it this way (and plenty of people out there think this way): if the guy can't like me as friends, then how could he possibly want to date me? Shouldn't 'friends' be enough if I can't offer romance? I would actually insist on keeping 'friends' like this - not anymore though. I don't encourage or offer 'friendships' like this to anyone. I don't offer it period, and if offered I turn it down.

Do you like it if a guy ignores his feelings and tries to be friends just to be around you?

I used to just pretend those feelings didn't exist, and would hope they would go away as to not interfere with the friendship. If they came up, I would get frustrated and angry with the guy for feeling this way about me.
Boy was I deluded back then.
