Hey guys,
Why do people choose love over friendship
* even when the basis of love is friendship
* even when friendship has love too
* even when friendship supports when love hurts
* even when love is nothing without friendship??
We would like some real honest answers.....
Alongside, your responses to a real life situation : A guy is in love with a girl who is also his best friend. If she refuses (for whatever reasons) , how fair is it for the boy to leave the friendship? How fair is it for the girl to suffer in losing a friend just because he fell in love with her?
Speak up folks, your thoughts matter!!

I don't know.. But I find it absolutely rediculous if I could not be a deep intimate lover, and break up. I would hope eventually over time the friendship would return to normal, but it seems the latest ones I dated are "All of nothing" And I am sorry with that attitude from anyone I will choose nothing, as I want to have solid friends for life, and even if I was more then friends, if a person can not handle remaining friends, after a break up if something happens. Stay away, as I do not handle that handle that well... ..
I have a very clingy ex gf whom I love dearly more then I have anyone else. But I can not comfort and reassure her no live up to her expectations so I broke up. She begged for four months to get back with me. I tried to explain. I am not comfortable doing "more then friends" or being luvers with anyone... I have a history of 4 years I last four years, then I have to back off... because I can not get that close.. and it is not that I do not trust or love people. It's I get to a certain point where I can not go any further, and they get mad, at me for it, and want to. I can't so I break it off... ...
And then it is hard to be friends.. All or nothing...
I can understand backing off from the friendship and taking time to heal, but this cutting ties because you can not be a romantic lover, or go a far into the relationship as they wanted.... It's not good and I agree entirely with you on this matter. - DNatureofDTrain
