Yep a girl I met at work I flirted hard core with her she let me lick her cut... long story but turned out she actually just saw me as a cool friend so I kept it as that cause she was a nice person so why make a big deal out of it
It was horrible.
I made it worse on myself thinking she felt the same
We can't stay friends with people who reject us
Doesn't work
Yeah and it never helps theyre not even your friend they just wanna use you as a door mat so dump all those bastards its going to help in the long run.
Well I recently had a situation where a friend that I liked intruduced me to her friend that I didn't like as much but I went with it and ended up dating my friend and not hers despite of it all she cheated on me so I don't know humans should perish of extinction just so the world would be actually peaceful.
I did it with my ex. She was into me for a little while, I asked her out a bit too late, and we tried being friends for about a semester. That semester was arguably one of the hardest semesters of my life because I was trying not to like her but it was impossible. If you like the guy a lot (or he likes you a lot) then I don't recommend it. But it it was a very casual crush/attraction, then it could probably work.
Yes, I did, but I must say, its very strange for a girl to pass the "present me your friends test".
So, before asking for being friends, ask yourself, would I present my friends to him?
If the answer is not, you aren't asking for a friend, its other thing.
Honest to God I wish I had been rejected more in my life as it would be nice to know how I would handle it. I however have the blessing /curse of never have been rejected I guess I have an inate sense of who is into me and who isn't and I don't stray from that lane lol.
Why? Then it’s awkward for both of you, and everytime you see them you’ll just feel like shit for not getting something you wanted i. e relationship etc.
It has happened to me a few times. Online one time. It's humiliating. I don't do this anymore. It hurts too much.
Online? I didn’t think you will fall for that.
Yeah, worked out really well for me until her boyfriend got posessive and destroyed our friendshio by keeping her from me.
Yes I have. At first, it was a little difficult. After a while though, we got used to it. Now we are best friends and I can say neither of us have any feelings other than friendliness.
I could never be friends woth someone I rejected !
This happened for 2 girls with me.
And it's always me who weirded out. I don't know I just can't be at comfort knowing that one of us is not at the same place and that is awkward!
Yes. It wasn't really a tense kind of rejection, more like an "I don't think it'd work out considering my life at the moment and x., y., and z.". Which is totally reasonable. Socially, you kind of just learn to keep your distance, ask "is this not awkward for you" and such. So we've remained friends, we still chat, and even talk about some pretty deep/interesting stuff. As for if this turns into anything more or not, I'm leaving that totally up to her.
For a little bit, yeah.
But I had to be the asshole to just disappear from their life in order to protect myself.
Why would you be an asshole if you disappeared? She rejected you in the first place
I guess because I don't think it was the grown-up thing to do.
It is grown up thing to do in that situation, that person should be glad you ever tried to be only a friend in the first place.
@crazy8000
Actually... I tried to get with them romantically and from what I heard on the interest, guys who disappear after being rejected are labeled as assholes or jerks. I've accepted that about my actions.
I had this happen to me. I really liked him but he had a girlfriend. We got really close and he was really flirty, but because of his relationship, I couldn't let myself get involved in that so I avoided him for just a little while just to back the situation off.
I didn't realise it would offend him as much as it did, but he ended up not speaking to me for months. You can't help who you have feelings for, and I wasn't prepared for how sad it actually made me. We had gotten so close that it left a huge void in my life. Even as just him as my friend.
It's horrible when contact is just cut like that. You hang out everyday and then they're just not talking to you anymore. Regardless of the situation, it hurts.
We do talk now, but it's not the same. It's very occasional and a little awkward.
I wish I could go back and do things do things differently. Not get involved with someone else's boyfriend, but handle it a different way.
Many times those that need to grow tends to enlighten the other one to be something bad to hide their own doing.
No. Usually never speak again. I think I've only been friends with 1 person before I asked her out, but it changed everything. Like for a while we tried to stay friends, but it wasn't the same and very quickly died.
yeah but she's crazy now lol the rejection was by me (but she likes to think it was by her) and i tease her so much she gets angry but she never refuses to talk to me :) i like that i am inside her heart.
Of course. It doesn't change much eventho I still have feelings for him. Still did, until he told me he's getting married. The feeling just goes 'poof' 😂
No. Probably because I've never asked a friend out before. I only dated girls I didn't know
I tried but she treated me like dirt so I learned my lesson.
Yes. I found out one of my friends and I kind of liked each other so I asked her out. Had a good date, but at the second date she said that was it. I'm over the feelings but it took a lot longer to get over the anger rather than the romantic stuff. We're still friends just not close.
