Fallenstar Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Hi - i'm from the UK and this is my first post to Loveshack. Is it possible to like someone a lot, but stay just as friends? The reason i ask is because there is a year-out student at work who i really care about. Now, she's engaged and that's fine - i'm please for her, but i find that i'm thinking about her more than i probably should be (not obsessively, just when it's quiet, like she's at the back of mind). Is this a case of the green-eyed monster that i've got in denial? She'll be leaving in a couple of months back to uni, but i don't want her to be another person to leave and loose contact with. Any ideas?
Craig Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Is it possible to like someone a lot, but stay just as friends? If you are friends with her now then you can discuss the friendship with her and the boundaries of that friendship. Also make plans not to cross the friendship line if romantic feelings arise. Friends can discuss anything right? So just tell her you want to keep in touch.
obsession Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 It is possible, but it will probably very hard on your part. (be honest, you'll keep wondering how it would have worked out, had you two gotten together). It is possible once any romantic inking you have for her dies, but until then, you're going to have to work with the boundaries. Eventually, you'll drift apart when she'll spend more time with her "husband" and you go off on your own search. Just saying it from experience. Good luck.
