do you think friendship between a man and a woman is possible? personally yes...I certain circumstances. I had a friend who I felt he was atracted to me. but still we kept things at the friendship level. we would watch movies together, talk about pretty much everything. but still one day something weird happened: he called me and said something like this: if I told you how much i love you ( he made it sound like a joke) would you consider being my girlfriend? I didn't get to say anything and he hung up the phone. he called me after 5 minutes like nothing happened. i didn't really know how to interpret this but later he got a grirlfriend. their relationship turned pretty serious now

You are the one who is at the lost now that your best friend had a girlfriend.You did not take seriously all his actions suggesting he not only likes you but he truly love you.You did not noticed his seriousness towards you.You could say you were lucky because he loves you,but are you in love with him?How can you tell him now that he has a girlfriend and they are going great as you say.Make him tell you if you are still in his heart,which is very hard to do now,but if you love him,then make him believe that you,too,have also love him,but just shy to tell him because you are best of friends.I think he could break the girl no matter what because I know he has more love in you than the other girl,and that he just let you know he has found a new girl for him because you did not notice him,so that you will try to make him believe he has also some part in your heart.I wish you could take his heart back to love you even more.

What is the purpose of your statement as if you also have feeling for your best friend?I do not see that reason you comment on that you just like him as a brother love.I think you just ashamed to accept that he is not over you that is why you just feel the brotherly love even if you are already hurt because he found another girl instead of yourself as his girlfriend.Do not become a martyr in love because you have still the time and effort to make him your own lover.

I don't love him....I don't want anything with him. it was just an example. mainly the topic wasn't about me but about friendship between a man and a woman if it could exist or not. but instead of commenting on that everyone started making opinions on how much I love him or not. I don'tttttttttttt............. I'm glad that he's over it and that he's happy now

I don't want to ruin my friendship with him. and he's a great person. I'm glad that he found someone that makes him happy because he deserves it. I know he's a great guy and that girl is definitely luck to have him. I couldn't see him as anything else than a friend. he was like my brother

Yes, I also have a friend which is a girl and we understand each other very well. We were colleagues in high school, and she has had some crush on me back then, but I didn't wanted to have any relationship with nobody back then, so I told her that I don't want to disappoint her, so we remained friends and we are still friends. Now, she is engaged with another guy and I am really happy for her. By the way, do you think that if a girl looks at you as a good friend for a time, things cannot change? I mean, can a friendship between a a girl and a guy become something more serious as time passes by?

That is what most of people who were friends fear about. I wonder why this things happen, when two people love each other, but, for some strange reason, they end up being strangers, or even worse, enemies.

I have no idea. I wanted us to be friends even after we broke up but he started saying all kind of things about me and he made me hate him. he's the one person I could never forgieve for what he did to me

sure it could happen..I went trough this and it was a disaster. I'm sorry because we ruined our friendship in the end. he loved me and I loved him but first of all we were best friends. and now it has been more than 1 year since we last spoke to each other

If he said those words to you, most probably they were true. but he just doesn't have the nerves to tell it to you personally maybe bevause he fears of losing you. if he has a girlfriend now maybe he just had her to mask his feelings towards you.

There should be no stopping you of being friends with him. After all, you seem to have been friends for quite a while. But also try to be careful coz you might just fall in love.

I don't know what to say about that. I hope you;re not right. he deserves to be happy and he deserves a woman to love him. I want us to keep being friends

Hi swissheart. Maybe he did love you but was afraid to compromise the friendship so he just jokingly said it. Maybe it was his last act of desperation. Maybe if you had responded with yes he would have pursued you. But since you were lost for words he must have thought you weren't interested in him and moved on. I think it that for whatever reason, it is a blessing in disguise though as friendship is better than a romantic relationship as not all romantic relationships ends well.

he didn't have the courage never to tell me how he feels directly and this is way he said it as a joke because we would always call each other my love even if we were just friends. and even if I felt something I wouldn't have done anything because I had previous experiences like this and it never ended well

I don't feel heart broken at all. I'm glad that he found a woman that loves him the way he deserves and who makes him happy

I see. So how did you feel when you found out he has a girlfriend? I hope you are not too heart broken about it.

Do you mean,he has another girl as his girlfriend?If yes,then I wonder how did he claimed to love you?Had he loved you,then he would not have compromised on another girl.In my opinion,he is not serious about you.Otherwise he would have keep trying to make you his only girlfriend.He could not even think of making another girl his girlfriend.Leave him.

he suggested us starting a relationship a few times. but I wouldn't want that. I couldn't see him as something more than a friend. he's dear to me but like a brother not like a boyfriend. anyway I wish him all the best because he deserves it

I don't want to do anything about it. I never saw him as something more than a friend. I just found weird the way he behaved in certain circumtsances. and even if I felt something for him I wouldn't ruin his relationship

I agree with you.When he wanted you to be his girlfriend,you were in a dilemma,because you had never imagined him as your boyfriend.So you were indecisive.Now that he has already had a girlfriend,you can't do anything about it.Don't bother,you too can have a boyfriend of your choice and maintain a brother-sister relationship with him.

Oh ho, I think he was joking with you. It is bad what he did, he made you fall for him if I am not wrong and then he gets serious with another girl. it is like crazy. How are you dealing with it. But your topic is suggesting something else that it is like a happy happy situation. also you said that lucky, may I ask why lucky???

the title was from a song. I only saw him as a friend...always. he sometimes made me understand like he sees something different in me. he suggested me that he would like us to be dating but he never had the courage to ask me directly. even when he suggested it felt weird and I acted like I didn't notice. I"m not in love with him. I wish him all the best as he's such a great guy and that girl really seems to make him happy

I think friendship between a man and a woman is quite possible. But their can be moments when it turn to love. I think you friend called you at such a moment. may be later he felt it was not proper and so tried to act in a proper manner. Anyways I am sure he had a feeling for you then. But now he must have moved on.

I have had the experience of being in love with my best friend before, and I have to say that it isn't something that I would really want to be repeating any time soon because of the fact that he didn't like me and I found myself convincing himself that if I changed, I would be able to make him like me as more than a friend. I wasted almost four years of my life believing that this could be the case, so I was single for all that time when I probably missed out on people who were well worth my attention and I just didn't bother even speaking to them because I thought that this other guy was the right person for me.

I personally think it is possible to be good friends with a guy. I have lots of guy friends, really good ones. Although when you start to cross the line of friendship and take your relationship a notch higher, it may not always turn out like how you expect it to be. Plus, there's also this uncertainty on whether you can still remain friends if ever being lovers did not work out for you two. I think this is something that must not be taken lightly as there's a big risk of losing both the friendship and the friend.

He might have a thing for you, anyways jokes are half meant and those constant flirting might be a sign that he really likes you. I for one in my perspective is I would rather date a girl that I can tell my whole life to and someone I can spend time together without having an awkward time.

I think it is, I have a couple of friends who are male. However it is very easy to cross the line between friendship and wanting something more. I can't say for certain, but I think your friend was testing the waters and then got scared. Perhaps it was your reaction, or because he realised he didn't want to lose you as a friend.

I didn't react in any way. I was in shock till he hung up on me. and yes you're right it's exremly easy to cross the line between friendship and falling for someone
