If you met someone, fell for them and wanted to have a full relationship but they did not, is it possible to be just friends with them. That is could you be content being their 'buddy' while they dated other people but did not like you the same way?

As long as you are cool with it, that shouldn't be too big an issue (unless she knows how you feel, then it might). Just remember, carrying a torch for someone for a long time is not always good for one's self-esteem. I would make sure I was still putting myself out there looking for someone I could have that relationship with.

That is always a situation that sucks. As much as no one wants to do it you almost have to cut ties with the person. You can't turn off those feelings and for your own sanity you dont want to be the guy she calls at 2am crying because a date didnt go right. All it is going to do is hurt you.

It can. then when if they start having relationship issues you would be a source of support. After a while tell her (I know this thread is your situation) to ditch him and you and her get together. Make yourself shine above the other dudes. *It works, Man.

*In most cases.

You always want to be the no. 1 choice in bed.

Never accept anything less.

"Buddies" it is....be her buddy.

Nothing more.

I have never seen it work. Not once. Ever. Except in the movies. It always works in the movies.

Itrs usualy a terrible idea to befriend somneone you have feelings for. May get little rough when she starts telling you about all the men she is actualy giving it up to, making you her emotional tampon. Id advise against it.
