Nearly 15 yrs ago, a friend of mine told me that he liked me more thna a firend. I toild him then that it could never be more than a friendship, and although he has told me often that he loves me, we were able to remain friends.

Last year, I told a friend I met online that I had feelings for him. He said he didn't feel the same way and I had to decide if I could still be his friend. I couldn't and we didn't talk for 10days. In that time, I realised that I needed him in my life and that being his friend and having him there was better than not. He however, realised that he loved me and we were fortunate enough to be able to share these feelings, and we have been together for 10months. I guess what I am trying to say is I have seen it from both sides and neither feels good to be honest, but it is always best to lay your cards on the table and tell the truth about how you feel. If the other person still wants to be friends, then all well and good. I guess it comes down to what that person wants.

It's been some years since I last dated. But I remember when a guy broke up with me and asked to remain friends, I asked for time. I needed to sort out my feelings before I could deal with his.

I understand what you're saying. When the situation was reversed, I cried more than the guys. I felt like the biggest bitch out for hurting them. The only time I haven't felt guilty is when a guy wont take no for an answer.
I don't believe I could remain good/close friends with someone if they were in love with me and I didn't feel the same.
I would feel too uncomfortable and self-concious.
I would need to know that they were okay with being just friends.

The're some things I miss by remaining single, and there are some things I most definetly don't.

I haven't told my crush that I liked him yet, but by examining how he acts around me I'm guessing he just wants to be friends. It totally sux too! he's the only boy in a long time who's actually interested in talking to me, and he's just too polite he sits with me even when I didnt sit next to him. But if he did share my feelings I'd probably faint of happiness.

Cause you know, how many times in a lifetime have you've had your crush feel the same way about you? people might tell you you're pretty or you're handsome, or you're fun, or funny, etc.. but sometimes maybe that person doesn't get any spark out of you. No romance whatsoever.
