I think we have all heard that line before! Its funny isnt? I mean they dont think your good enough to be in a relationship with them but your good enough to be thier "friend". What bullsh*t! Now i've just had that line pulled on me; now I/we have two options here:1. Accept that I/were not going to have a relationship with them and continue being friends.If you think you can do that then fineor 2. Just accept that you have been humilated; break up the friendship or whatever and dont ever look back! I think the second option is the best one; it would be unfair of someone to ask you to be their friend when you have such strong feelings for them! Lets face it you cant really be a true friend can you? can i? No.See the thing is I have hundreds of friends! I dont need another! Call that selfish but if another person says that i'm just going to hand them my address book and cell phone and tell them they can have as many friends as they want!

"I just want to be friends"

I know the feeling. And you're right, no one can make the decision of whether you want to continue the friendship except you. If this is someone you've known for quite awhile and have had a good friendship with, perhaps you might want to give it a second thought. "Let's just be friends" is a person's attempt to break up on good terms, when infact, alot of the times the two never communicate again.

yea, everybody knows the feeling, and it SUCKS...i know IVE been there..but in depends...if u were really hurt by your breakup, (which u prolly were), i wouldnt try to be friends...BUT if you like her personality, you like being around her, and you liked just talking with her as a friend...BE HER FRIEND...personal experience...she pulled that dreaded line on me, "i just want be friends" and i was heart broken...but, 2 days l8er i phoned her like nothing was wrong, and asked her to come to this party with me as a friend...she was shocked that i took it literally, and i did this because i loved her so much as a person...today, she is one of my closes friends...(read the "Ghetto Gurl" post under relationships, thats her if ure interested on my situation..) but ne ways, good luck with your situation...its a b*tch i know...

Yer but you can't really say that, I mean that's the case of being easier said than done. In my case We have been mates for 3 years now - I don't want this to end. But it really hurts being mates with her because of my feelings. It ain't easy. I don't think it's helping me, by being friends with her. But you could have completley different feelings in your relationship so it could be different.. perhaps. J -
in all seriousness, it depends totally on the situation, eg how much you like the girl, how she feels towards you, if there is flirting going on, etc.if u aren't totally into them, then it may be quite easy to just be friendsif you're in love, then it will be hard. even harder if she flirts with you. in this case, best to leave her alonelet me get a quote from www.bash.org that has something to do with this situation.QUOTE: DragonflyBlade21: A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

I have come to the conclusion that the majority of females want to hook up with strangers... not friends.
-
true dat.. id never hook up with a friend again
-
But why not? What is the problem with going out with a mate...? I really don't understand!!
-
It's simple really. Women think with their "heart". If you investigate any further it will just get way too complicated.

a few of you have probably read my post on my relationship dilemma, "Girl Friend >to> Girlfriend" its a bitchif i flirted this much with any other girl we would together in a second; she likes bein around me, she likes talking to me, but she doesnt want a serious relationshipWhen websexinfo said "most girls want to date complete strangers" he is so very right, right now i actually just got a new girlfriend that i met like 5 days ago... funny
