Topic: Just friends | |
---|---|
What do you do when you meet someone you want to get closer to, but they 'just want to be friends.'? My instinct says to never contact them anymore as they will just be a distraction.

thats a hard one i am in that exact situation

Everyone can use more friends, and how do you know she isn't just testing you to see if you can be friends first?
Honestly I think friends first is the best thing to do if you're trying to start a possible lasting relationship. |

I think that could be very difficult for you. Too much contact could be a problem.

If you've fallen for her you probably can't handle her dating other guys. Say Goodbye.
Friendship on the other hand can lead to other things in the distant future. Depends on what you can handle. |

i take that as i didnt meet their requirements. you know looks,car,job,etc. who knows anymore?

Well if you can handle being friends then be friends but if you want more and you know you want more, trying to get more is just going against what she wants and probably will be.. harder on you in the long run. Like someone already said, like when she gets the new boyfriend..

Well i think that ...if I guy tells me jsut want to be friends I keep being his friend and who knows by not paying him too much attention I can be atractive to him without expecting it.

With girls there is always the "friend zone" that if your not careful you can get placed in and never be able to make it out.
When a girl meets you or starts talking to you, in her mind she has already decided what she is gonna do with you. So all you can do is be yourself and if you get placed into the zone, just move on and find someone else. |

I think you run across this problem often. It's your aproach & attitude. Ease up. Be a friend 1st. see what happens. It might work.

I read this advice in another similar forum - keep the friendship, seek romance elsewhere" |
|
|

Yes lets not be friends with potential people who may even one day be a best friend, and a partner.... definitely dont be friends.. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. |

I'd keep her as a friend. If I likewd a lady and she pickled someone else I would respect her decision and wish her well. This happened to me at work last yr I fell for this lady at work but she picked another man. If this other guy ever physically abused her I would hurt the guy. But I'd still be friends with the lady.

I think ALOT of people SAY THAT, because THEY don't see or want anymore from THAT person..
Just friends is cool, and but also SOME mean it as DON'T TRY, PLEASE... |
|
|
|
okay.. i say this a lot.. not cuz i dont liek the guy... but because i dont want a relationship... but to be honest everytime ive done this it makes me slap myself in the face... maybe i dont want a comitment but when i think of it i dont know what i want.. and im gona go ahead and assume that maybe this is how most people feel when they say that... either that or they are just not into you in a romantical way... sorry

To me, there is no harm in being friends with someone. After all, you can always use friends. Also, I think that you can't have a relationship with someone unless you are friends first.

Dude. A Chick knows if she is going to sleep with you or do anything else with you with in the 1st 5 min.
Personality & attitude play a HUGE role. Unfortunately in this messed up world, Mr. Bad boy dose win 99% of the time. Face it, A woman dose not want a baby or little boy, She wants a man to take charge in life & in the bed room. Confidence my friend, Not stuck up. If you are doing the same thing & getting the same results, Change what your doing. Peace. |

What do you do when you meet someone you want to get closer to, but they 'just want to be friends.'? My instinct says to never contact them anymore as they will just be a distraction. Oh jeez... I have't gotten the LJBF (Lets Just Be Friends) in YEARS. I just avoid that LJBF in the first place by making the right moves. The friend zone is like smoking cigarettes... the best way to get out is to never get in... God I am so full of sh!t... because I am such a smoker Marlboro 27s all the way haha But anyway, refer to my thread "Pickup Artists Secrets Revealed!" because I bet it can help you. |
