would you be away from a friend that loves you and you dont feel the same way?

Yes the friendship would change for awhile but i believe that with time he would like someone else and maybe the friendship could be ok again

This depends on his level of maturity...

@sweetloveforeve Maybe so but I guess it would be one of those time will tell situations.

It is good that you wouldnt leave your friend behind i think that sure we have to be honest and if we dont feel the same way we cant give him hope we have to say things as it really is.

And I think this action will lessen the hurt instead of explode it...

@Jenning Yeah,...at least it wouldn't explode..!

The friendship would change at first but to end it? I just think that we shouldnt let go of a true friend because of this. At first sure it would be normal if we didnt see each other so often but to stop being friends? I think that shouldnt happen.it is so hard to find true friends.

@louievill i understand what you mean there are only a few guys who are strong enough to let go of their feelings and keep being close to a girl who broke his heart

@sweetloveforeve i hope it is that way but at my age and experience, I would know more, besides I'm a man and I would know more how my kind ( at least mostly) would react when rejected, nice if your friend belongs to the few.

Yes it depends also depends of the personality of the persons involved.

Thanks yes even though his heart would be broken he would have to accept the reality

@Jenning if he really loves her of course he will walk away heart broken.

@sweetloveforeve Lolz. He can walk away not heart broken...

@ms1864 have a nice day sweet friend

That is great manisha it shows how a good person you are.

@sweetloveforeve thank you...it is sweet of you to say.

I understand what you mean i think it would intrude yes because it would be very hard to let go of love feelings and see my friend everyday.

Yes if he doesnt understand and acts the same way and wants to like force himself into us that way the friendship will end but what usually happens is that after the friend that doesnt feel the same says it to the friend who is in love, this person tends to be afraid of the friend's attitude and sometimes steps away and that is really hurtful i believe. Because the person understood that would never be more than a friend and then neither a friend he can be that must be a nightmare

@Raine38 yes the worst is to lose the friend forever

@sweetloveforeve that is to be expected. After all, feelings and emotions are involved. We can just do what we can and hope for the best that somehow, the friendship will get past it and move on. Who knows we'll look back to it after a long time and just laugh about it. Worse case scenario is we have to bid the friendship goodbye.

Yes they would have to accept that you would never be more than friends. It hurts sure to love someone who doesnt love us back but we have to move on.

It is hard to break someone's heart even more if the person is your best friend it is so hard to find good friends nowadays and lose him because of love is devastating

Yes you are right we have to be honest and say our feelings as they are. If he cant accept it then sure we have to be away and probably the friendship will be ruined

Thanks so much for your kind words yes i think that to lose a friend is good only if he turns out to be a fake friend. If that is not the case then it is very sad

@Girlwithredboots a true friend doesnt turn his back

@sweetloveforeve exactly.. if he really cares for u he will definitely try to save his friendship! N if he doesn't..I think there is really nothing to be saved! I m glad I could be of help :)
