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. If you know that you cannot keep it at just friends then leave it, as you will be setting yourself up for heartache you could have prevented. If you can keep it as friends then have a good friend.

What's wrong in having a close friend? Who knows where the relationship will take you. Give it a try.

I've said this before, and it bears repeating:
Guys, when a woman tells you they "just want to be friends", pack it in. That's all it will EVER be! This statement is 99.99999999999999999999999999999% correct. Move on, there is NO CHANCE HERE! Of course, there's always that .00000000000000000000000000001% chance she'll decide she wants to be more than "just friends". Are you willing to play astronomical odds? You'd have a better shot at winning two consecutive Powerball drawings. |

Not true for me, I have dated friends before and still friends with them after dating and having fun. It's a mutual thing!

Girls aren't the only ones who use the "want to just be friend's" line. It makes the choice to stay their friend really hard when you have fallen for them. But I'd rather be their friend than not have them in my life at all. I'm prepaired for the fact that he will eventualy find someone that's not me to spend his life with, and I'll be happy for them.

Saying you just want to be friends is frustrating I'm sure, but if the person really interests you, pursue very slowly! I say let's be friends all the time! Mostly when he is aggressive, that way I'm not leading him on and if he's really interested, he'll be my friend.If not he was only interested in something eltes!

You've got to be able to jump from friends to deeper, and back again to make things reality. This is not only a part of life, but also a part of growth.
Love is deeper than flowers. Who really has a grip on love unless they see it through the eyes of what is real. The best loves are the best friends. |

good luck living life restricting yourself by the prison of limiting beliefs there are effective ways to turn the just friends into more than friends but it just aint worth the effort... you ARE better off starting anew with someone else, but the whole .0000...00001% kinda mindset is very self-defeating. |

It's not just a "belief" here, Chief. Life isn't like those sappy Hallmark Channel "romantic sitcom movies". And I never said anything about being friends first. Every great relationship starts out as friends. I'm talking about when the intended tells you "Let's JUST be friends". There's a difference here, and it seems most of the posters are confusing the two. |

Oh trust me I know that there is a difference... but I'm also saying that it's very possible to dramatically change what you are doing from what doesnt work into what does work to win over that girl who gave you the LJBF in a very awkward manner... but it aint a very smooth path to take. ...Where the hell did you get the idea that I thought life was like a chick flick? 
I just have a bunch of aces up my sleeves iz all lol |

Hey, Chief, I never said YOU thought that life was like a "chick flick". i've read too many of your posts to ever even THINK of accusing you of THAT! Sorry if you took it that way. My point I was trying to make is that too many people out there--male AND female--seem to think that.
BTW, Chief, thanks for sharing those "aces up your sleeve" with us. I might not necessarily agree with all of them, but they're all interesting to read and think about. Keep posting! |

they have made it clear to you if You can't respect their wishes then you have no business being their friend. |

I don't know how many times i have heard that line I just want to be friends. You have a good instinct. Most people who are on this site come on it for dating, not friends. If they want friends they should go on else where less dating oriented.

I've said that before...I'm guilty-To be honest I wanted more and I'm ready for a relationship, it's just that when I met him his looks weren't what I was looking for..I know that sounds shallow, but you have to be attracted to someone.
