Have you ever ended a friendship with someone because you felt they were catching feelings for you?

[Still-alive]

Like their behavior or words make you feel like they see you as more than a friend but you don't.. so you ended the friendship because of this feeling.

Yes i have done this before

No i haven't done this before but have had a firend do this to me. they thought i caught feelings when i didn't

No i haven't done this before and have not had a friend do this to me

I’ve been lucky, mostly. My male friends have either been gay, or in one case we thought he was gay, but in 7th grade she came out as transgender. I did have one “friend”, David! He was not extremely close as friends go, but he was certainly on the periphery of our group, and was always “around.” After I broke-up with Mike, I was a mess! Seriously, I was emotionally exhausted, depressed, and everything felt like it was falling apart. (Something that was not exactly unfamiliar to me, and David knew this!) He became “ever-present” in my life and was, to me anyway, nothing more than support, a shoulder to lean on in a time of need. I loved watching old ‘80s movies, I still do, but he suggested every rom-com, and boy gets the girl in the end film he could think of to get me through the misery of a break-up. (Which is really not a good idea with a heterosexual person who is the opposite sex to you) We’d cuddle on the couch, which again was nothing new to me as all my male friends were gay… but he took advantage of that, and kissed me! Stupidly, I kissed him back and got lost in the moment! Thankfully when I realized it was HE who was touching me, not Mike (which was a very familiar feeling at that point) I immediately stopped him! I was so angry, that he would take advantage of me like that, I just felt so stupid that I allowed myself to be taken in by his bullshit! I asked him politely to go, and to never talk to me again! I’d heard it all before, “boys don’t want to be your friend, they’re just waiting for their moment” but I was so upset, any comfort felt better than the alternative. Obviously he tried to get back in my good graces, and I’m all for second chances but he took advantage of me when he knew that I was at my MOST vulnerable, and that I cannot forgive! He was basically my master class in male manipulativeness! So, no more male “just friends” ever again! It’s just not a good idea. If it works for you, fine. But I’m not going to go through that again!

I have had to once or twice. The guy was supposed to be a friend but he apparently had never had interest in being just friends. He was pretending to want just friendship because he was hoping for more. This was something I absolutely did not want. I had no attraction towards him whats so ever. Nor did I like some if his behaviors such as smoking or his religious views. One night while hanging out watch old movies I fell asleep and awoke to his hand in my bra. I was furious. I cut all ties with him.

[Still-alive]

Damn 😞

[meetkitty123]

Some lines should not be crossed

[Still-alive]

I like crossing the ‘finish’ line with some ladies ;)

But yeah other lines should remain uncrossed!

[Amy10223]

That’s horrible. Stay away from him!

[meetkitty123]

@Amy10223 oh long gone and far away

[meetkitty123]

Thank you for the MHO 😊

[Кураж]

Yes, I've learned to cut off everyone who develops feelings for me that I do not reciprocate.
They become someone I can no longer trust with having my best interest on their mind, and I'm not willing to take that risk.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

No, I haven't done this before and have not had a friend do this to me
I've had a few crushes who I loved but that was all and It made me sad but
I've learned to move on with me

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for Most Helpful Guy :)

[Aerissa_Jade]

If a friend did it to me, I have never known but I have never done it.

When I suspect a friend of wanting more, I try to apologize and state that I'm sorry if I did anything to lead them on.

I am just open and honest that I only see them as a friend, and I would like to stay friends, and I hope they understand.

[Apulu_Imback]

Nope this didn't happen to me. If this happens with me then I won't stop the friendship unless they break the boundaries and I like someone at the time.

Well me and my crush are like distant friends. Does it counts? ≧ω≦

[Still-alive]

I suppose lol

[Apulu_Imback]

Then no we didn't broke the friendship even though we know we slightly like each other lol.

[Still-alive]

What would you do if he just git the balls one day and asked you out directly? ;)

[Apulu_Imback]

Close my alarm and wake up

[Still-alive]

Lol won't even engage with the possibility huh? :p

[Apulu_Imback]

He has never said such thing to me in these whole 3 years! Once I even asked him "Do you like me? I have been hearing that from my friends and classmates a lot" and he replied "They are saying it just for fun". I'm just trying to move on in this point.

[Amy10223]

Yes, I left a meetup group because someone was giving me too much unwanted attention. Too many text messages, all asking if I was alright, ok, or something like that even though I told him many times I was fine. Then it was I miss you, haven’t seen you in months etc. I stopped going to the meetups and I blocked him too. I hate to sound cold but he was getting demanding with my time.

[Genie23]

Yes, sadly I have done this before... More than few times.

[Still-alive]

Have you ever had it done to you?

[Genie23]

I don't think so, no. I've had few people leave me but due to other reasons like say afraid of being into relationship even though they liked me and hated me hanging out with other guys. When I told them to stop acting as if you are my partner not like you are one or you would be there with me all my life. So, they got frustrated and leave

[menina]

I can't that I've been trough this situation. My friendships with guys have always been just friendships. If that happened to me I honestly don't know how I would react nor what I would do.

[menina]

*through

[Koneko911]

Yes. Several people I was friends with in high school after my senior year I stopped talking to then because they caught feelings. And they knew I had someone already and wouldn't ever take a hint and stop

[kinggeorge007]

There's another option missing. I haven't done this but someone has done this to me.

There were 2-3 girls who were interested in me but I never stopped being friends with them. But when I asked out a friend she blocked me.

[Ninania]

Yes, but only because they started overstepping boundaries as a result.

[Freyke]

No, I still see them the same way. More often than not it is the other way around where they distance themselves, because I didn't feel the same way.

[lottiebannotie]

I haven't needed to fortunately

[Still-alive]

Im still here ;)

[SandandWaves]

I wouldn't treat my friends that way

[SweedyPie]

Nope, not me

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Sounds pretty gay
