bob the brave Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 If you met someone, fell for them and wanted to have a full relationship but they did not, is it possible to be just friends with them? That is, could you be content being their 'buddy' while they dated other people but did not like you the same way?
Revolver Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I don't settle so I'd stop talking to her and move on to someone who does want a relationship with me
srmano Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 just move on it isn't worth it especially if your always going to want more with them
xdahliax Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 It's possible. I'm currently doing it now, although the person I like is not seeing anyone. It's already heart-wrenching enough as it is, so I can't imagine what it would be like if they were. I wouldn't remain friends with him if I didn't have to work with him, it really is too painful.

That is, could you be content being their 'buddy' while they dated other people but did not like you the same way? If and only if there were a real basis for friendship aside from wanting to do them. Wanting to do someone and their not wanting to do you is not friendship. Having common interest and values and goals and a real emotional bond is a basis for real friendship. So, in that kind of situation I just move on. The person usually comes around when they see that I am not desperate to bang them.
theredpill Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Friendship and romantic interest are two completely different things, pretending they aren't will only lead to pain. In short, never the twain shall meet...
Mrlonelyone Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Friendship and romantic interest are two completely different things, pretending they aren't will only lead to pain. In short, never the twain shall meet... Friendship and sexual passion are different things. True. Real romantic love is mutually exclusive of Real friendship. False. That's not just an opinion any psychologist worth their salt say that. 1
