Question For The Ladies.....

A question for the ladies,

If a guy likes you but you only see friends in your relationship do you respect him more if he doesn't want to be your friend and ends your friendship?


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

Peace...

IMO it wouldn't be about having more respect for him as a PERSON if he wanted to end the friendship because he had other feelings for me, but I would respect his DECISION...

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.

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.

I'd respect whatever decision he made, either way. However, I might be the one who felt uncomfortable with the friendship if I knew my buddy wanted more. I wouldn't want to be unfairly accused of stringing someone along, even unintentionally.
