A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

what do u do when a platonic friend confesses that she likes u more than just a friend?

- do u tell her that ud like to stay friends?

- do u feel awkward and avoid her?

i am especially interested in knowing why the guy would avoid his good friend after hed found out that the friend has been crushing on him. is it because she wasnt a 'good friend' in the 1st place?

merci!

dude ask yourself if you like her or not. i mean REALLY think about it. if you do, go for a relationship. but if you dont, DO NOT avoid her. this will tear your friendship apart.

I think you should explain to her that every-one has individual tastes, like shopping for furniture. And although many guys would like the dining table she is offering, it is not quite your taste for any-thing more than a friendship. Relationships between both sexes can get trickey when you have a girlfriend. She wont like you hanging out with female friends, especially if she is single. I think make sure you never lead her on and stick to your boundaries to ensure she doesn't overstep the mark. Take it day by day and continue as friends, and deal with ups and downs as they come.

RAINORFIRE agony auntHmm think it could depend on the guy and his personality, but heres a theory if your realy good friends with a girl you tell her alot of things you show her weak side tell her all your secrets things you possibly wouldnt want a lover to know, simply because if you ever break up or get into an argument thye could use this powerful knowledge against you.

another theory there just mad that you either lied or just kept this secret from them ie your feelings when your supposed to be a friend.

But i think a guy would be really mature to just abandon a friendship over this but what if he doesnt feel the sameway maybe for some its easier to walk away then break the girls heart.

another great human mystery
