Does your friendship change with you single friends? My friend recently got married and she said she had a conversation with her mother about friendships after you get married. They're both convinced that your friendships you have with your single friends will change. I'm not exactly sure what would change. Your availability, yes. But what else? Has anyone grown apart from their friends or their relationship change with their single friends? Was it a good change or bad? Does it have to be different?

Why does any online friendship seem to fail if the person lives a state away? I have online friends from all over Wisconsin who I have talked to for years and years, but every single friendship that I ever made with anyone (be they through Yahoo, LJ, or MySpace) outside of this great dairy state seems to deteriorate in a month or sooner. Oh, also, keep in mind that I never see the Wisconsinites, so they don't have an advantage over the others or anything.
Is it cheating if you have a friendship with someone but you have romantic feeling? Friendship is between a married woman and single man. Strictly platonic in conversation, no physical contact, he does not know she has these feelings. He does not have romantic feelings for her. Contact by phone or text every 1 to 2 weeks. Is this an affair or just a fantasy? Even if husband knows about friendship, he doesn't know about the romantic feelings. Obviously it isn't right, but is it cheating?

What do I do?

Is it normal to choose a friendship over a relationship every time you get close to someone? So, there is this girl...and so far she has gotten close to 3 guys. Every single time though she says that she would rather keep the friendship than risk it by going through with a relationship...She has openly admitted to having feelings for these guys and same with them for her but still she chooses the friendship. Do you think it is a matter of her not being ready, or her just being scared if things go wrong??
How can I tell if a girl is really into me and is interested in dating and not just friendship? I recently added this girl on facebook and after almost month she agreed to meet me the other night. We talked over a cup of coffee and she seemed nice and like smiled the whole time, and I know that she's single and stuff but I dont know if she's willing to take things further than just friendship.

Can a married man really means friendship with a single girl? Especially if he only met her twice personally (no sex of course) but likes to exchange emails with her. They are long distance, and he seems pretty happily married, although the wife doesn't know cuz she's a jealous type. But he says he enjoys their friendship and communications. Why is it that people always relate a friendship like that as wrong, is it really wrong?
For the lesbians - wanting more than just friendship? I'm a single lesbian and I find that when I meet new lesbians (single as well), most of the time they're interested in something romantic (when getting to know them) and can't keep it as just friends. When I turn them down (being that I only want a friendship and they know that) they can't handle it (feel rejected) and the drama ensues. Why can't lesbians just be friends and hang out - no strings? Anyone else experience this?

How to rekindle the friendship ? There was this guy that I was friends with last year in 8th grade. We'd talk almost every single day. I had almost all my classes with him and we always ended up sitting by each other. This year in 9th grade I only have one class with him (p.e ) and he is always with his other friends. It is kinda hard to go up with him since he is always occupied playing sports or w/e we happen to be doing. How can I get our friendship back to where it was?
What's the difference between a professional friendship and a regular friendship? I can only tell the difference in opposite genders. But not same genders. For example, I wouldn't chat with my pastor late at night(10pm to midnight) or compliment him or share with him personal things but I'd do that with my guy friends married or single that isn't my pastor. What's the difference in same gender relationships?
How to stop a cyber friendship which is becoming real? I knew this guy for three years online, and we used to talk by webcam and email. I sometimes sent him gifts and even money when he needed and he never retured. On the other hand he first told me he's single, now he says he's separated. I'm not going to continue this relationship. He keeps texting me, no matter I don't answer him. What's the fastest way to stop the relationship? Actually I don't want to talk because he's better in talking than me and will win. Is ignoring texts and emails enough?

Of course she never hangs out with him alone without her(the wife) or anyone else there with them. Is it possible that they can have a platonic friendship that's close and trusting? Right now it's light and casual so how can they deepen their friendship platonically?
How can I repair the 'friendship'? I started high school this year and there was an inundation of kids from the private middle schools. One girl, Bailey, was new and from the first day I've wanted to be her friend. She's become quite popular and such, but literally every single time I see her I make an idiot of myself. I just sort of freak out when I'm anywhere near her. I start laughing obnoxiously, rambling on and on, blushing uncontrollably. If I open a door of a classroom or stairway and she's behind it, I yelp and say 'sorry' even though there's nothing for me to be sorry for! She tapped my shoulder once and said 'hey' and I shreiked with excitement and shocked-ness! I just always seems to freak out and humiliate myself when I'm around her, which isn't helping our friendship (or lack there of!) I want to be her friend!!! I always make an idiot of myself and I'm wondering how I can fix that? What can I do to help myself? Is there a reason why I do this?

Do you think sex with a friend ruins the friendship? Sugar and Offkey bring up an interesting point. When I was younger and single, (married 18 yrs.) I tried the "friends with benefits" thing, but found it usually ruined the friendship. Once I got married, a firm but friendly "no" was always just fine with male friends.
Why is it that I can't have normal friendships with single guys? I'm a senior in high school, and I really just want to focus on graduating, work, and soccer. I just want to be friends, but they always try to get with me and it totally ruins our friendship. This has happened to a point where I just don't know what to do. I'm not being flirtatious or anything, I treat them like I do my guy friends who have girlfriends already. What is the deal?
Is it worth salvaging a friendship ruined by a relationship? I met a girl on single fire fighters.com and were both volunteer fire fighters in our respective countries everything was going along fine cause we were chatting on yahoo messenger once or twice a week and she was planning to come to Australia to visit me until she started going out with someone off her myspace friends list and completely ignored the fact her relationship was tearing apart our friendship, i've made several attempts to make her aware of this including a email and several offline messages yet it didnt work... is it worth trying to salvage this friendship myself or just move on and let her find out afterwards once she dumps her bf and realises shes lost a real good friend cause of ignoring the warning signs Just recently i deleted her off my myspace friends list but have left her on my yahoo messenger list incase she needs a real good friend to talk to or wants to repair our friendship Just to add i am after positive answers not negative ones Im hoping she'll come to her senses and try to repair the friendship but i am not sure of when this will happen
What am i supposed to do when i suffer from social anxiety disorder? I've been avoiding my friends for awhile because i get socially anxious around them. I told one of my closest friend that i think i suffer from this (social anxiety disorder) and she has been nothing more than understanding, but i can't stop but feel bad that i am driving her away from our friendship. every single time i see her i feel anxious and because of that i've been avoiding her. What should i do? I can't keep avoiding her.
Can a once purely platonic friendship become a romantic relationship? My best friend is a guy and we've know each other since the beginning of highschool, now we're in uni. We've always been just "friends", and each of us has had relations with other ppl but i've never felt jealous, in fact i was always happy for him. We're now both single. But i can't seem to get into other relationships because i keep comparing it to what me and my best friend have, but i don't know whether im in love with him. i don't know how to put this any other way, but the fact is i love his personality, and even though he is a good looking guy i could never imagine having sex with him, altough we flirt all the time with each other. But he is everything i've wanted in a boyfriend, but am i actually in love with him? can a relationship be based on more than passion and desire for that person, or is that the factor which distinguishes between friendship and romance. as u can probably tell, im kinda confused...any advice or experiences would be very useful.... i also mean to say that i went on a date with this one guy who also knew my best friend and we got talking about my friend and talking about him made me feel like "what am i doing with someone else?"....hmmm, dont know if that helps clarify things....
what should i do to turn it into something more than just a friendship? I have a good friend at school. I really like him. He has dated my friend before but they broke up. Now hes single. Should I tell him how much I like him or should I just not say anything? Should I asked him how he feels about me? Every time I don't say anything I feel like its too late and then they have a girlfriend.
Is our friendship over or is she just making new friends? Ok so I have this friend who keeps on hanging out with other people not me and we used to hang out every single day. She said to me that I would always be her best friend but now I keep feeling i'm not. She hasn't talked to me or e-mailed or texted me in at least 2 months. Am I still her friend or has she ditched me? Please help me!
Should I screw up our friendship just to find out how she feels? I have really strong feelings for one of my friends, I have done for a long time. I felt this way all the way through one of her relationships and a couple weeks ago we were camping and we pulled each other but the next day nothing happened then she started going out with someone else, we haven't been the same since now shes single again, what should I do
What would you call it: friendship or love? I have a friend who I have known for several years now. We went to the same school together and were in a few classes together. We are very close, and have been through so much together emotionally. I had feelings for her and I told her about them, but we both decided it was better to preserve our friendship. Now we look out for each other. We live in two different cities, yet we keep in contact frequently; we write each other on almost a daily basis. This brings me to my question: Recently, she and I found the loves of our lives, but we both went through very similar situations in not being able to be with them at this point in time, so we both ended up single at the same time. Everytime she got hurt or felt pain, I would feel anger and would die a little inside. I felt like her guardian angel and I wanted to shield her from the pain that continually befell her. I do not know if this is a beautiful friendship or remnants of my feelings for her slowly reviving themselves (Continued) To finish it: I have felt (and I have told her this) that she has become part of my heart, and she remains so. Plus, almost every letter I make her day (she tells me so), and I can tell each letter that I send her makes her happy. Please opine... Just to add a little more info: I had asked her to the Senior Ball back in High School, but she declined. She did manage to save me a dance, which never happened because I couldn't find her. She felt really bad because she couldn't find me either and she had a night as bad as I did. And we still owe each other a dance... I also defended her love many times, something she said that even her best girl friends have never done. You could say I've gone above and beyond...There was girl I was crushing on at one time who said some rather unflattering things about her. I was close w/ my crush, but I chose my friend over her. Does that tell anyone anything? Please answer some more... And one more tidbit of info: recently, I have been dreaming about her more than the girl I am currently in love with.
should i worry about bf's friendship w/single woman he dated for 2 mos? my bf is still friends/drinking buddies w/a woman he dated for 2 mos & told me he didn't have a spark with. well i saw him out with her on a Sat nite when i was available (he didn't tell me he was going out with her) & she was being very chummy rubbing his neck & his back under his sweater, leaning into him, etc. he wasn't doing anything back but didn't ask her to stop either & he knew i was there & could see everything. when i asked him about it the next day he said she NEVER does that & he's not into her in that way, but then why did he allow that to continue? should i be worried? what more can i say to him about it without pissing him off? i know i can't fulfill all his friendship/social needs every minute but i don't let my male friends touch me like that & don't want him to allow that either but we've only been dating 3 mos ourselves & i know you can't ask someone to give up a friend, but.... any advice??!!
Can a married man have a simple friendship with a single girl or does it's always wrong? A married man always replies to a single girl messages although he loves his wife. They are long distance and the communications are not sexual but more sharing of feelings, thoughts, friendly type. They met in person once (no sex) and kept in touch since. The girl calls him for special occasions and they have this sort of awkward silences like they want to say more but don't maybe b/c of guilt or don't want to get into trouble. His wife don't know about that friendship. He says he enjoys their friendship and communications, that's great to hear from her always, but he do love his wife. The people who know them both say something might be going on. Can a friendship go on like that?
Married man has an email L.D. friendship with a single girl, he loves his wife but would he cheat if he could? A guy who has a long distance email friendship with a girl who is single, he says he loves his wife and never touches sexual subject with the girl. The girl seems to be in love with him, but he doesn't surrender to her, he just talks about enjoying their friendship and have short communications with her by email, once or twice a month. Since the girl has feelings for him, she calls him from time to time and talk shortly, but he seems to flirt with her LITTLE on the phone. The point is, if he loves his wife and do not love or is interested in the girl, why would he keep such a friendship? And if the girl hasn't write a note in a month or so, he sends hello notes to check on her as a FRIEND? This is been going on for 3 years already.............What do you think?

Is it possible for a married woman to have a friendship with a single male? I know, odd question. My husband and I fully trust each other. 100%. I've hung out with a few exes before, for very very brief moments... just to see how things were going for them.. before I realized they were druggies that I really didn't need in my life. I let him hang out with female friends and what not sometimes... so we're pretty comfortable with each other and the opposite gender. I'm always upfront about everything 100%. I tell him about damn near everything that goes on. For some reason, I just can't get along with females very well. If you're a female and reading this, I'm sure you get where I'm coming from. I can only seem to connect to males. And most males I find are single... I would feel kind of weird starting a friendship with a married man... because you know how women can be. I was just wondering, is it possible for a friendship with a single man and a married woman to work? I've came across two guys that could potentially be good friends, but it seems like they always end up liking me... more than just friendship at some point, and I have to break off the friendship. So in the end, I am still lonely and curious as to if I'll ever find a friend. I love my husband, and our marriage is great... it's just nice to have someone outside of us to talk to sometimes.
A question of balancing friendship and marriage? so, you had good friends that you'd hang out with and then you met the perfect guy and got married.. your old friends expect you to go with them, but your husband says you're a married woman and should be in your home, not hanging out with your single friends.. my mother has been married to my dad for over 30 yrs and none of them had time to go out with friends etc.. their time was spent with family... It makes sense to concentrate more on your marriage, isn't it? what are your opinions on your old friends and a new marriage?
Where can I go online to hook up with people for friendship NOT dating? I'm NOT looking for a dating situation, and the personals all ask for singles only, technically I'm not. I would like to find some intellegent, adult persons to talk with, I'm attempting to build a base of friends. I've been out of touch too long and all my old friends have moved on and away. As a start my interests are music, dogs, and the fantasy that magic is real(through books and television shows).
If a guy gives you his number, does that mean he is interested in something a little bit more than friendship? We've been sitting next to eachother in class for a month or so and we talk occasionally, but i wouldnt have considered us friends really. But we started talking this weekend and got in to some really deep stuff and talked about how we really get eachother. At the end of the conversation, he had to go but he said "If you ever wanna talk or anything, here's my number." We were also talking about relationships and dating and how we both had bad relationships and that we have been single but now we're ready to move on and stuff.
I live with my bf, he won't commit or tell anyone about me and wants close friendship with other women? I've been living with my boyfriend 1 1/2 yrs. He doesn't tell his family or friends that we are more than friends. We get along great, he is very good to me, my best friend! and he is close with my teen kids, is very good to them like a father to them, but he says he will never commit to me or anyone. He wants to get together with single female friends, and doesn't tell them about me. We are very close; this is our only problem.
Married man and single girl friendship? Please read details!? My roommate and I met a guy a year ago in a stock selling we made. The guy turned out to be military and I saw they friendly flirt, I knew he left shortly afterwards to his base in North Korea. She told that she was getting in touch with him, so as friends. Then she said he wrote to her that he and his family were moving again to the US, but to a state far, tehy kept in touch. I thought they cut it since she never mentioned it until now, that she still emails him and that share stuff by emial. I asked her and she says it's a friendship. What I didn't think is a simple friendship cuz I found out she called him on the phone last week bcuz he was getting deployed again. She said he was astonished by her called and that they didn't spoke much. But she said he told her that he enjoys their friendship and communications and that he'll keep in touch. I told her it can be dangerous but she still denies it. Well, turns out the guy wrote to her again from deployment asking how she is.... This guy from what I know is in his 2nd marriage with another GI older than him. Idk. I know I posted this before but I want my friend to read what think. If I´m wrong I´m wrong but maybe there are others with similar point of view to show her..... She´s my friend and she a good girl, we her friends want the best for her. I´ve seen her crying at night over this and we don´t know what to do or think. Advice please!
How do you know if there is something more in a friendship? I am a single guy that has been friends with a married woman for over 4 years. We have done a lot of fun activites together and have included her kids on many of ocassions. She will include me on things that a normal couple would do. We have talked about our hopes, dreams, fears. Her husband does not do anything fun with her family. She says that there cannot be anything between us except the friendship. Is this just a close friendship or is it her escape for the moment?
