writes:Your opinion on crushes, attraction and the friend zone.This question is mainly directed at guys, but women can answer too.So if you were once attracted to/ interested in someone but then became good friends, does that feeling of attraction ever really go away? I mean, is it truely the friendship that keeps you hanging around or is it the possibility and wishful thinking that if you do stick around it will develop into something more like you hoped? In other words, do crushes ever go away?

 Heres an interesting idea: Maybe you can be friends DESPITE the fact that you still have feelings for the other person.
I still have feelings for my ex, but she is in a great new relationship, and the guy is a great guy, so I stay away, dont interfere, just hang out occasionally.
If her relationship ever fails, ill swoop in, but untill then I will be respectful that she moved on!
Got it? good

Right now there is a girl who I'm pretty sure im in love with and since ive become friends with her my attraction to her is a bit lower but I still do have feelings for her.
I guess it depends how powerful that crush on that special someone really is.

Hmmm i think it depends to be honest. I have a friend who i have a crush on and it's never left, in fact it's grown stronger to tell you the truth. But then i've had crushes on a couple of other girls before and now we're just friends and that's all, there's nothing more than just a good friendship.
So it really does depend but crushes can do one of two things they either go away or grow stronger.
I hope this helped.
Good luck.

I believe that if there was once something there for the person then no matter what the feelings will always be there. the friendship part is the excuse for the both of you to stay close together.
