Is being friends better than nothing at all?

[Anonymous]

I'm stuck in this position. I recently told a guy how I felt about him and he only sees me as a friend. Then to top it off he got a girlfriend the same day :/ it hurts so much. And can't help feel like what does she have that I don't? He said I was pretty, nice, and sweet...just not enough for him.

Well after I told him how I felt he told me he still wants to be friends. I was shocked he would even want to continue a friendship with me. My only problem is how do I be his friends if I have feelings still?

Him not feeling the same hurts, but not as much as losing him all together.

Unrequited love...sigh. So, he said he wants to be friends still, it's hard being friends when you want more. He's got a girlfriend now, so I'm pretty sure she's not going to like your friendship much but who cares. What you should take into consideration is the fact that she might prevent you from hanging out with her boyfriend or whatever, and then if you do anyway, you might seem stalker ish. Silly I know, but don't worry about the "friends" aspect of this guy. If you see him then say hi and don't expect anything more from him and this will help you move on.

So, being friends with a guy When you like him is worse than letting him go. Sorry girl

Stop seeing him. It's only gonna get worse, I've been there before.

It's easy for him to be just friends, and maybe he said that because he didn't wanted to make you feel completely unwanted.

Losing him all together immediately its the best you can do. By being friends/close to him, you will keep having these feelings, and that will make you stuck with a unachievable desire, and you''ll lose time from your life for nothing. You could look lame, like a stocking needy person, that can't have her life going on without this guy. In time, he will probably feel pity for you.

Ask yourself this: Why would you want to be near someone that doesn't want you ?

There are so many guys out there, including me :)

Friendship can work but not right now, I think its possible only after a long time after you get over. He could be a good friend, that will not have a hidden desire to fuck you, like some of the guys you friend-zone.

Friendship is a precious gift. He doesn't owe you sexual or romantic interactions. Just respect him and the relationship you already have with him.
