It's always a nice touch to give her a wedgie, spit beer on her, bum smokes from her, wake her up for bail money; you know, treat her JUST LIKE ONE OF THE GUYS

| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 1/11/2006 11:46:41 AM | I consider myself a good person and a good and loyal friend..If a woman wants to be friends..there is nothing wrong with that...I have several good female friends...some are married and I get along great with the hubby or boyfriend,,, I have gotten the I want to be friends line before...we all have....it is how you look at it...Can you be man enough to accept the relationship? Or are you going to get mad and hurt? I prefer to keep the friend! On the other hand...and this may sound mean to some of you...if a person does me wrong....lies...bad mouthing ect....I walk away and never look back! I have very few great friends...my choice...but I can walk away from anyone if I set my mind to it....Just move on and keep livin! | |

| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 1/11/2006 2:00:27 PM | Hi cusack
When the girl wants to be just friends and you think your in love with her and your feeling hurt and rejected because she is not returning your affections, you are not in love at all. You are in pain. Sometimes it seems as though were hooked: You feel obssessed or compulsive about another person. When this is the case there is a pretty good bet that on some level your're not letting her off the hook. Your obviously obsessed and unreleased about this person. Accept her as she is. release her to be where she wants to be, doing whatever she wants to do, with whomever she wants to do it. Your ego is trying to control her which is why your feeling controlled by your emotions. You know that you love someone when there is no insistence that they satisfy you. Stop taking her feelings about you personally feeling hurt and rejected. Forgive her and realize that forgiveness will change the way you feel, which is you will feel better, but it will not change her feelings. Love does not have an agenda for another person. It does not demand I did this for you now you have to do this for me. This is what it means to love unconditionally. But there is no such thing as unconditional relationship. Before you get sexually involved with a person you must clarify the conditions. You wanted love but she just wanted sex. That doesn't make her wrong the only mistake you made was thinking that because you loved her or had sex with her she is now yours. Always make sure that you and the other person are on the same page before taking a step like this and don't throw her out of your life because you let your hormones take over your brain. Don't give yourself to someone who is not willing to give back and then act like you are the victim. You have a choice. The way your looking at this is causing you pain. Change your perspective and you will change how you feel. Hope this helps. Wishing you happiness. Bon | |

| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 1/12/2006 3:56:34 AM | The movie, "WHEN HARRY MET SALLY," nailed the male/female buddy issue. It's inevitable that eventually friendship evolves into a one-sided affection or infatuation, because that's just human nature to want sex. Men and women just don't possess enough common ground to be buddies without that factor. My hobbies are guns, hunting, motorcycles, all the guy stuff. I care NOTHING about anything sensitive, i.e. chick flix, shopping, fashion, etc. No common ground means no girl buddies. Of course, when you hook up with a mate, an effort is made to accommodate your partner's interests, ergo, shopping, the OCCASIONAL chick flick,(please God, no), but to make these sacrifices for a BUDDY, no...now, a F*CK BUDDY, that's entirely different. Let's face it; "I just want to be friends" ONLY WORKS FOR FEMALES. I've never told a woman I wanted to be her buddy. Here's something that no one has considered. Guys occasionally get into a situation where there's an azz-whipping involved. You know, you're in a bar, somebody mouths off, and somebody gets punched. I've never met a woman that can cover my back in a serious situation, and believe me, bike guys see a little of that occasionally. My buddies are all a little rough (like me) but BOY, they can whup a little azz in a barroom brawl!  | |

| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 1/13/2006 7:34:40 AM | isnt it true you can tell a person by how they treat theirs friends or their mother? i can bet he will treat you the same way. | |
|
| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 1/13/2006 12:06:06 PM | I agree with you.
Whenever a girl says they want to be "friends," there are 2 simple words one needs to use:
F*ck: easy to understand. Off: real easy to understand.
Tell them to f*cj off!
Who knows, maybe they'll come crawling back. They like ***holes. | |

| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 1/15/2006 10:26:12 AM | I have just seen the following thread : "X's that just won't give up." in the forum. It's amazing, as it shows the other side of this discussion. It's not exactly the same, but shows similar features and worth checking out. Certainly initeresting to see the advice given to the guy that has an ex that won't give up. I see the ex that won't give up as the poor soul at the receiving end of "Let's be friends" line. Obviously not every situation is like that, but it is definately interesting looking at the two discussions side by side. Though I suppose you could look at it as the "lets be friends" perp as being the one that's not giving up. Swings and roundabouts really, just depends how you see it. Check it out, though it is scary to see what some of the posts say about the "x that just won't give up" | |

| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 1/15/2006 8:03:53 PM | Well since I have been sitting here for a few weeks now just sitting back and reading all of the posts on this topic I started and I haven't said anything I must say to "Tarheelman" you are absolutely right. "I" was the victim here and not her and to others who say or think differently then you know where you can go. I tried really really hard to be this girl's friend and it wasn't my fault that I fell in love with her but when someone wants me to call her EVERY single day and come visit all the time and just be with me 24/7 then that isn't friendship, that's someone who just wanted to play games and screw with my emotions and yes I admit I was stupid for putting up for it as long as I did and I should have been more of an a$$hole and told her off but she played me like a fool and I thought it was going to lead into more than friendship because when we was together she would want to cuddle and hold hands and do stuff like that and it felt like much more than friendship so I guess I totally read into things wrong but regardless what happened happened and I have definately learned from my mistake and it won't ever happen again. It's now been a month since I last spoke to this psycho chick and I'm starting to get over it as every day passes and I just want to thank everyone for their kinds words and sympathy who has posted on this topic and to the others who had some smart comment to say well then I hope the same thing happens to you one day. | |

| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 1/15/2006 8:13:30 PM | | I know where you are coming from MR.CUSACK...And i wish you luck...Personally in my case it took a toll on me to the point it has mess me up mentally..It has been 13 years and to this day it has took a toll on me...The 3 years we dealt with each other we talk on the phone about 2000 times...Many of those conversation were 7 hours long..Had sex with me...But she claimed she hardly knew me...But you know what is so ironic?I knew everything about her..I mean everthing...And do you know why?I listened to everything she had to say...But that does not matter to her....You see it is all agame to them..They could careless...But society tells me it is my fault.. | |

| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 1/15/2006 8:29:09 PM | I hate women & men like that. You're describing a girl that is facing lonliness and is insecure. She's single for a very good reason - try selfish as one. Best way to handle it is to cut ties with her and watch her persue you. Once that's established, let her twist in the wind and you'll gain your confidence back and then tell her to F off. | |

I would only use this if the girl led me on or played games with me. If she told me upfront I would respect that and just never speak with her again but I wouldn't bad mouth her. If she played games though I would most certainly tell her off. | |

| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 3/27/2006 1:10:33 PM | | I feel for you but she told you from the get go that she just wanted to be friends..Possibly she was seeing this guy at that time....I know its hard but move on, that special someone may be aroud the corner if you give her a chance...And, we always want someone we cannot have, seems to be human nature.Time heals most wounds so I say good luck to you...But try a free yourself up enough that if you meet another woman, you can see her and not pine over this one...Could be THE ONE!! | |

| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 3/27/2006 2:35:58 PM | | Honesty is always best be strait forward with her and tell her that you are happy to still be here friend but you are not sticking around to be used by her whiles she plays on your feelings for her. | |

| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 3/27/2006 2:40:08 PM | | Thats real grown up. I recently seperated with my boyfriend of two years and before that we were best friends for almost 5 years. Things were not working for the both of us, but we still, now remain best friends. Its like nothing changed from us being friends. Good friends are hard to find and worth holding on to. And just so you know not all women like ***holes and I feel sorry for the ones who do. Most men I know are always the ones who crawl back crying and blubbering like babies. Just some personal imput I guess. | |

| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 3/27/2006 2:41:44 PM | | Nice I am happy you can see it that way because after my break up it went that way and neither of us have been happier, just being best friends again | |

| When the girl wants to be JUST FRIENDS Posted: 3/27/2006 3:07:56 PM | It truly amazes me how much precious time people waste on
wanting to be with someone, who isn't interested in them.
Get your ego in check, and find someone who is deserving of you. | |
