If a girl and a guy are good friends and one person likes the other person and tells them, then it becomes awkward - what happens afterwards that ruins or saves the friendship for some of these types of connections? Like, if you're the person who got confessed to - I want to hear from your perspective; How do you put a handle on these situations?
One of my really good guy friends confessed that he was crazy about me this year. I told him that I really like him as a friend, but I didn't like him in any romantic sense. for about a month afterwards he was a bit off with me (grumpy & moody & ignored me) , but this was probably because I started seeing one of his friends. now we are good friends again! :)
Do all three of you guys hang out or do you try to avoid that kind of situation? Like, do they tend to stay jealous? - 2 months ago
Answerer
We all hang out within a bigger group of friends and it's fine! Sometimes I would get a jealous look from my guy friend that liked me but not so much anymore.. It would never really be just the 3 of us hanging out, but it's been 5 months on now so I'm sure it would be cool even if it were just us 3. I find with time jealousy goes away! - 2 months ago
This is kind of the reverse situation of dating someone and deciding to be friends afterwards.
I have seen relationships spawned from this situation, and I have seen friendships destroyed from this situation. What it comes down to is the strength of the friendship, the personalities of those involved, the strength of the romantic connection, and innumerable other variables that play into the situation.
Each individual circumstance is so unique,that there is no formula for success. either getting involved with the person or saving the friendship.
I know what your saying and I totally agree. I was just looking into different perspectives to see what happens in these situations. Like it happened to me so I was trying to get a few different ideas. Just looking outside of the box. - 2 months ago
Oh yes the old "i have feelings for my good friend" situation I confessed my feelings with this girl because I felt secure about the fact that if we had a strong enough friendship why not take it to next level right? (we knew each other 2yrs) she didn't have the same feelings for me ( until she told me that she actually did the WHOLE TIME!) anyways after she told me she "didn't feel the same way" she assured me that nothing would change between us and she became a little distant and then everything changed, I ended my friendship with that girl because of the drama I had to put up with just to be friends with her so yea its not always "back to good old buddies" again after you tell them
Did you just stop talking to her? Or did you confront her? - 2 months ago

If you don't mind me asking? - 2 months ago
Answerer
I confronted her about it, I said that she didn't care about the friendship because she never showed any sign that she tried and always said she did but like I said she never proved me wrong so I ended it she kept txt'n me after that saying I'm making a mistake, but its probably the best "mistake" I ever made I felt happy afterwards but I made sure that I would not try to be friends with her after what I said for my benefit - 2 months ago
I know you want to hear from the other side but recently I asked out my best friend(female of course) and she told me she wasn't interested. Which is fine because it's a load off my mind but she also told me she loved me when she let me down and it was the first time I had heard her tell me that. Which made it all the better. It's brought us closer. We might not end up "together" but I've earned a great friend out of it. You gotta hope that it doesn't hurt what you already have and that the two of you can move past it.
Was it awkward only at the time of talking about it? Not afterwards. - 2 months ago
Answerer
It wasn't really awkward at all. I was expecting it to be. I was ready for it. I was awkward around her but I don't think she was awkward around me. Not from what I could tell anyways. It really depends on the person. You make it awkward if you want it to be. If you don't drop it and continue to ask silly questions as to why you won't go out with me. If your friendship is strong enough as it is then it really shouldn't be a problem. - 2 months ago
Just want to ask those with or from experience - is it awkward to keep an ex as a friend? Especially when you are alone together again? Does previous...
