I have a crush on my best guy friend, but am pretty sure he just views me as a mate. I went to the movies with him earlier, and my 14 year old sister has been teasing me ever since. She actually said that a guy and a girl can't just be friends. ARGH that annoys me..therefore I completely disagree with what I have previously posted, and I DO THINK ITS POSSIBLE. Although, in my case, I do feel more towards my friend than he does for me..but whatever.
Personally i think that a friendship would not be the smae if this happened because then he/she would kinow the other was intrested in them as more than friends so may feel less comfortable talking openly with them. They can remain good friends but often on a lower level than they were previously at if you understand what I mean.
I had the opposite. I told a female friend I liked her and she said she didn't want to start anything, but we became much closer afterwards. Maybe because she always suspected something and once it was in the open, we didn't have to worry about it anymore.
I was talking to a mutual friend the other day and asked if she'd ever mentioned it and she said that yes she had. She [the girl I like] had said that she knew she ought to feel the same way I do, had tried to do so and didn't know why she couldn't...
...any thoughts?
Yeah exactly, but swop females with males obviously.
In our group at school there was about 8 lads and i can safely say that i didn't fancy any of them, not because they were ugly or anything, but juts because they were my friends and i couldn't see them any other way?
its cool
I have another close friend who is female who I do fancy but I openly admit it and we laugh about it. She's like a childhood sweetheart. I can't remember not ever fancying her since I was about 14 (19 now).
I've tried staying friends with exes. It doesn't work. No matter how close you were as boyfriend/girlfriend this never translates to a close friendship. There will always be feelings that can't be avoided.
IMO Everyone should have a close friend of the opposite sex though. :yes:
