Want to break up with a friend?

I am in a similar situation to yours and I feel we should both move on. How can we stay friends with someone when we feel this way about them?

If only I could listen to my own advice.

Tell her what you told us, then say goodbye and stop calling her or answering her calls.

You blew it. Tell her how you feel. Life’s too short to wonder “what if.” You’ve got to take chances.

Ask yourself this, “Am I better off now, seeing her with someone else and trying to figure out how to stop seeing her at all, than I would have been had I manned up and asked her out, even at the risk of losing her as a friend?”

Let’s be honest, the real reason men get stuck in “the friend zone” is because they’re afraid of being rejected. So they make themselves her “friend” so they can at least be near her, and get hurt when she doesn’t feel the same way about them as they feel about her.

Make new friends. You would be able to withdraw from this girl comfortably

To be honest, even with the explanation, I still didn’t understand the question.

Do you want to break up with her? If so, just tell her.
Do you want to be friends but not lovers? Apparently, that’s happening anyway.
Do you want her to be your girlfriend? Too late perhaps, but you might get another chance someday.

@Poser: men aren’t the only ones who get stuck in the “friend zone” and are cowards about telling the hard truth about love joneses…. sorry to say.

Your friend,
Susanc who, at least once, wasted 2+ years on someone who just liked her cause she was smart
when what she wanted was for him to ravage her beautiful smokin’ body

@susanc: That’s too bad. I decided that I wouldn’t mess around with things like that. I liked someone, I told them. It worked. She ravaged my beautiful smokin’ body.
