If a man wanted to force himself upon me, I'd give the friendship a go. I remember when I met a group of new people, and one of them kept telling me "I'll look after you", while putting an arm around me. I should have said "Where have you been all of my life?"
 . He was just a very sweet man.

This question is for the men mainly. But ofcourse the "womens " are welcome to weigh in as well. Guys.... If a woman online is attracted to your spirit and energy in your profile , and she is interested in you as a friend BUT NOT in a romantic or sexual way, ... Would you prefer it if she shoves her friendship intentions where the sun don't shine and leave you the hell alone? OR... Would you want her to still email you? being friends with women is more important than anything else.. |

To have a non sexual friendship....it is still a friendship to be nurtured, as all relationships must start as friends in order to survive. that is my thoughts. 
This pretty much sums up what I think.. When a man pops into my inbox...Or I pop into his.. There isn't a huge spark I am hoping on either part. Friendship has to be the beginning for me. I am huge into communication and if I can't speak freely with the man on any subject then. There isn't going to be a huge romance in m book.. So to me I do enjoy nurturing friendships and if something comes out of it great if not I have a friendship I cherish I think your attitude is typical of many women Sitka, but I think many guys even when they agree to a friendship online, that consciously or unconsciously they strive to break that friendship barrier. I guess it all depends on how agressive the men are in this friendship barrier-breaking attempt, that may encourage or disuade a woman from embracing a friendship with him. I get that from men and here is the catch for this.. Some men that come into my inbox will always remain in the Friends zone and they will never come out and I make that very plain right up front. Others I could be interested in is a different story..They are not put into that dreaded friends zone we all detest. Others that I may be interested in end up in the dreaded friends zone for one reason or another.. I have dated a few different men from the internet not one of them started out Not being a friend first and then the attraction grew... So I dont' know maybe I am the one confused... |

Maybe you have a good eye for what you want, spot it rather quickly, don't over-complicate & aren't overly afraid of taking a risk. I admire that very much TBH |

You don't sound at all confused Sitka, You sound very open minded to wherever life and your instincts lead you

I'll take friendship if I like talking with someone. So I guess I'll say thanks.
