a male and a female are friends. sometimes these good friends hook-up, sometimes they do not. in this entry, gr8heights was wondering if there is a "stop" point from these friends turning the fri...

like a "we can't talk as much or hang out as much" point?

suchgr8heights Sep 16, 2004

I dont like getting involved in conversations like this I just like reading about it. However, if your in the truth and you spend that much time with a member of the opposite sex shouldnt it be wit...

this is great and you do make valid points. thank you! there is a problem with brothers not liking me having a guy as a best friend. thats insecurity to me. if he's too insecure to know that ...

Yeah i think if you meet a girl and you like her then you owe it to yourself to find out more. If she seems like she is friendly with a guy and theres no intimacy and she seems friendly with you when you two speak/hang out, etc.. Then see but do so with a caution.

I was in this situation once and it seemed like a three-way race when i had it wrong and the particular woman liked only me but was sweet and shy. So there were other guys she was nice to but didn't like and wouldn't tell them to get lost, until, of course, she began dating.

So you never know, but remember there is a loss/hearbreak factor, because, "There's always another guy, that's already caught her eye. He's supposed to just be a friend, but he's been there when she cried." So you and your insticts may be right, but they may not...

True dat pap pap. No one ever thinks about the person that got hurt. She starts dating someone else and he sits home crying. Its like Duckie from Pretty in Pink he was always there for her, but she never thought of him like that and then she dates the other guy and he gets seriously hurt.
It's true none of us want to get hurt by taking the risk on someone we think is a friend but the truth is always the best course.

its the same with a female friend, not just male. she's seen you cry, she's been there for you and has seen you at your worst. so whether its male or female, there was always someone before you.

BUT that's the fun of a new romance. you get to start your own "inside jokes" sharing of frustrations, etc. but its something you build, something that doesn't come automatic.

it's all a gamble.
