Is it possible to be friends with somone you love?

Is it possible to be friends with a person and have strong feelings for them
without sleeping with them? But the feelings are ones that you know that you two
can be together, but your not ready and neither are they.Its like you want to
but you cant because you want to be sure that that person is right for you...

I think it's possible to be in Love with someone and not sleep with them, but eventually one of the two are going to start feeling more and that's when a good friendship can end.It's sad but true.

I think its possible for you to be friends with the person that you love. But the question has to be.. what happens if the relationship doesnt last. Will that change your friendship?

Yeah it can happen it may be hard

Miss T said...

Yes, it's possible...I love my good friend...I call him my brother and my daughter calls him Uncle. I'm not infatuated by him, nor do I lust him.

If you want to get with, or have strong feelings for that someone that you love, that's where you can get yourself into trouble.

I'm not IN love with him...cuz that's totally on another level.

Miss T we are talking about somebody your in love with.

I don't think it can happen. We are sexually by nature and most people are unable to control their physical urges. It would be difficult to be this person's friend because of your feelings especially if they are dating other people.

This situation is as complicated as the way you worded it .. lol

My experience: my best friend and I have always liked each other but the timing was always wrong i.e. he was with someone/I was single or vice versa. We have been friends well for over 15 years. I can honestly say that I love him, he will tell you the same thing, but he is not the type of man I can see myself settling down with. For the past 2 yrs he has been in Philly and has recently moved back to FL and he is upset with me bc I do not hang out and call him like I use to..Things got complicated before he left and then I went thru some issues while he has been gone that has caused me to harden a bit so we fight more than anything now. I don't want to give up on our friendship but things are different now and I really don't know what to do about it. I have left some details out but as you can see this is messy!Some people are just meant to be friends and when you cross the line .. then be ready to deal with the consequences.

I said all that to prove my point that this situation is not kosher .. RUN, RUN away from it as fast as you can.

Miss T said...

Well Dakim...if you have strong feelings for them...why ain't you wit em?

If I had strong feelings for a friend and we couldn't be together...well...I don't think my feelings would continue to be strong. Cuz if the feeling's mutual then you should be working it out...otherwise leave it alone.

You are right MissT but once you walk into the foolishness its hard to get out. I wish I hadn't that is for damn sure ..

Miss T said...

Sadly, STS, none of us has been immune to foolishness. It's just been on different matters.

It is very possible to be friends with someone you Love. My question is if you are in love with that friend and vice versa, why dont you go to the next level and be with her?

Dakim said...

Why be with her. That might mess up the friendship. Then what are u left with

I know lots of ppl that's in relationships with their best friend. I think its a beautiful thing because they both know each other so well. It can make a relationship stronger.
