Could you be friends with a girl you used to like?

[Anonymous]

I am asking this because I have a friend who used to like me 2 years ago, now we're friends and I am in a relationship. When we're together sometimes he sees flirty and I've noticed he started to avoid me a bit. Could you be friends with someone you liked?

'flirty' 'avoids you'... this is why having female friends has virtually no upside. You are talking about the guy like you have certain expectations. He is stupid for being 'friends' with you because he wants to angle in, but there's no chance. You know he likes you, yet you only keep him around for attention.

You sound frustrated

[spartan55]

No, not so much.

[spartan55]

So why are you friends with him?

[JBlade]

Doubtful. It's a waste of time if it's not leading to something more. And if I'm not interested in her anymore, there's no need to be friends.

I could be. I try to be friends with all kinds of people.

[FilmGuy93]

Eh, I would rather not.

I can’t think of a reason I wouldn’t

[Recurrence]

Yes.
