"Just Friends" Truth or Myth

[Turismo]

Well, Ive only been exposed to this dilemma once. And years on and after other relationships, it still hurts.

Lately I've heard it a bit on radio, seen it in a TV show (The Office- US) and heard of other friends problems.

My question to the women out there (and men too if you know wtf is going on). Is this a real issue that women choose to deal with in this way, or an easy excuse out.

As in, do some girls possibly just hear the just friends thing through TV or whatever, and think, "Oh no, my friend must remain only a friend or things will go pear shaped, it happened on TV !"

Gay !

"pear shaped"?

I don't really know what you are asking, but yes, some women DO just want to be friends for a variety of reasons.

I amnot asking anything in particular, more of a discussino on some of my thoughts. What I am saying is. Could the overuse of the "lets just be friends" phrase

Lead some women to use it as an excuse without actually considering that a friendship may infact be a perfect base to a healthy relationship.

Sorry if I make no sense, the ramblings of a broken man late at night lol

[vashti]

Women say "let's be friends" when they have no interest in having a romantic relationship with a male even though they like him.

Where do you live? It is morning here...

Or how about "I really really really like you, but..."

Most women will put you into the "friend zone" because they've lost or just don't have any kind of attraction towards you.

Remember, for women it's all in the personality, that is where you must focus, not the physical.

You need to "sculpt" your personality so that it's naturally attractive to women. However, I'm not saying that you need to change who you are. Just work on some things (some *inner* things) that women can't resist, i.e. confidence, humor, taking charge of situations, leading her, etc.

My best friend is a woman. She's the greatest person I know.

I'd NEVER date her. But hey, that's life.

She's never date you either, because you don't have a vagina.

She's bisexual, not gay.

She's actually got a fiancee. Great guy.
