When I date friends and it doesn't work out, I lose them as friends! It makes me wonder, why bother in the first place.

A female Canada, anonymous writes:

I thank anyone who responds to my question. My question is why is that you can have someone of the opposite sex as a wonderful friend and after you get involved with them and it does not work out...you lose a friend. I am never able to be friends with someone I once loved and have lost friends that way. It kind of makes you wonder..why bother in the first place. Does anyone else have a take on this?

A male reader, anonymous, writes (25 October 2007):

you answered your own question. They were a friend at the start. Why? Because you wern't sexually attacted to them. There is fewer more insults to a man than to say he is friendship material, and not mating material.

Friends, lovers never the twain shall meet.

Well there is a lesson to be learned here. Dont have one of your friends as a date! You dont state how old you are. But in the future you will meet someone and hopefully be friends with them first and then become a couple. But if you are dating blokes from within your group of friends then it is destined not to work.

take care

baybee-x-sparkii agony auntokay put it this way people feel different things. and if a person likes someone else in a way that is not reciprocated it can make them feel upset and confused. this is usually why friendships are broken [thats the way i see things anyway] which is why u get the feelings you have got right now.

hope that made sense and helped
