Could you be his/her friend?

Hey there I am very new out of a relationship and no I in most cases could not be he's friend after wides.But I say it all depends on the individual person.

Oh gosh, I don't know how people do it either! Me and my boyfriend were having alot of problems a few months ago, so we decided that we were going to try to be just friends.. that didnt go well at all. We were so used to being close and loveable all the time that we were constantly having to back up and apologize. And I would just get these unbearable urges to kiss him. We got back together a few days later and have been great since then. There is no way that I could be just friends with someone I love!

I am actually in a situation much like this one. I have been totally and completely in love with a friend of mine and he didn't feel the same way. So instead of losing the friendship and not talking to him at all, I have been forcing myself to be friends with him because we had a great friendship. I try not let my emotions get the best of me. Granted our mutual friends say there is more to our friendship, but I am going with his word and do what I can to not have feelings for him.

Hi friend. Very nice question. I am currently in that exact situation you posted. I have a classmate back in college. We've been classmates since our freshman until our senior years. I fell in love with her the first time we met. We immediately became friends and hanged out together. When I finally had the resolve to go to her house and ask her out for a date, I saw her and her boyfriend sitting comfortably in the porch. Broken and shattered as my heart was during that time, I still acted as a good friend to her until now. Whenever she needs advice and favors I try to help her whenever I can until now. I still am hoping to be with her one day though I think this might be a hopeless case. Right now, I'm trying to think more rationally and try to forget about about her little by little.

as long as you have respect for each other then if by years you have now grown apart then your relationship can still survive.
