Ladies, could you ever fall in love with a male friend?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

It happens more then one can imagine. Friends fall for friends of the opposite sex. You just build such a strong bond with someone. Sometimes attraction is there from the start and other times it grows over time.

It can be some of the most beautiful but also messy situations. The heartbreak of the other person not reciprocating feelings is just soul crushing. While it’s amazing to have a friend like them. A lot of times one person secretly is in love. It’s such a painful experience. I’ve seen friends before and I just see the sparkle of love in ones eyes and the other just is enjoying the amazing friendship with nothing else to it.

It’s also a mess when there’s a nasty breakup. Such as cheating. A lot of times though friends also grow apart. You never know unless you try.

Never go for someone whose taken. No matter what. But if you’re into your friend. Just tell him/her. Don’t wait around and watch the person you want to be with. End up with someone else. While all you can do is helplessly watch.

From my experience, no... at least in my area. I get the excuse of "i don't want to ruin or friendship"... like... seriously? The only way it would ruin our friendship, is if you're a toxic individual that you fail to acknowledge and work on. If it dosen't work out, no biggie, we can still be friends.

Yes, absolutely. I have once already.

I don't easily surrender my heart to anyone, and I am very thorough in determining the risks first. I have to know I can trust them unreservedly and I am afraid of rose-colored glasses. I am friendly and easily get along with most guys, but most guys like the surface just fine and don't really care to get to know me.

When I fell in love, it was with a guy who was my friend. He didn't allow me to brush things off or throw up my facade. He insisted, in the gentlest and kindest way, on authenticity and provided a safe place for that to happen. I am indebted to him because he really did save me.

I mean, I don't feel like I'm the type to fall in love with someone outside a relationship but I could definitely become more romantically interested in someone I wasn't initially super attracted to as I got to know them (assumedly as friends)

dustybiker2 · Answer

No. I always knew first off if there is spark or not. "Love grows" is just for the desperate not to be alone. Which is fine but once you taste passion there is no going back to bland.

Not a lady so didn’t do the poll, what are the results so far?
My bet no. Is it possible? Sure, but not probable. Women tend to know right away if they’re attracted to you and that’s not likely to change. Plus with a male friend they get all the benefits of having a boyfriend ie. companionship, a listening ear, problem solving, etc without any of the cost. So why would they want to change the dynamic and incur risk? If they do get with a friend they’re likely to feel like they’re settling because the man waited around for them. Puts them in a more dominant position in the relationship and that’s more likely to lead to a relationship failing as women have more options.

Only good women. Women that say they can't have the need to feel chased which is a toxic trait. It's not really about her finding a relationship, it's about her receiving attention. So when a woman says,"no" to this question you need to run.

Before we fell in love with each other, my then-boyfriend (now-husband) established a solid friendship first before we opened the door to new horizons.

I don't have male friend. I had male classmates & now male colleagues. When I was younger I was a nerd always putting my grades first.

Maybe since feelings can randomly develop but it's highly unlikely if we've already been friends for awhile
