it just depends.  the truth is as long as you try and open up the lines of communication, i'm pretty sure it can be saved.  good luck.

I am so very sorry for your lose. But as the saying goes, Time heals all wounds. And No, I am not trying to be funny. It will take time and as that time passes, keep in mind that your bestfirend is in a far better place and holding a seat for you when your time comes. When you can sit down and have a conversation with your friend. You'd be amazed at how well this works at times. I truly believe that your conversation will be heard. It will also help if you sit down with another friend who also knew this bestfriend. Maybe not as well or as close as you were, but someone who knew your bestfriend. It does help to bring closer.

Yes ........but then you gotta ask yourself if you would value his friendship more than a relationship.Sadly alot of relationships end with anger and hate.

Yes I have, but in the end, I know it was for the best!\n\nEnding a close friendship is always hard, but presumably there is a good reason for it to begin with, and you've considered it fully.

I dont know if any friend is a true friend. No matter how much you this person, their is always something.  Just be careful to what you do or say to any friend. \n\nAbout bring out the best of you... it means haveing you coming out of your shell feeling comfortable.

Sure they can....It takes what  is called time...Of course when physicallity is involved it is difficult to remain "just friends"....

no not at all. If you consider this person a true/close friend you shouldn't just end a friendship like that. Have you talked to your friend about why he didn't come? if he has done a lot, don't throw your friendship away its not worth it.

it all depends on what you have done. some things are just not forgiveable or atleast forgettable. i messed up on something with one of my best friends now i am lucky to see him maybe a few times a year and that's usually like in the park becaue we both go there. He don't come by he rarely if ever calls. If i call him sometimes he might call me back but thats the price i guess you pay for screwing up. i mean i know i messed up and i have tried so many things to prove that i know i messed up and it wont happen again but its their choice. when you have been hurt by someone close to you even if it wasn't on purpose and they are sorry its hard to ever trust them again. give it time. keep showing ur friends that you sorry and it wont happen again. but in the end its their choice they were hurt and not everyone is going to risk it again even if you really are sorry. you have to live and learn. learn from your mistake and dont let it happen ever again to anyone.

Not now, but have had. It seems to only lead to the end of a friendship or things get really weird.

Sure they can.  They can be the greatest of friends and stay totally platonic.  I think this is a decision that they have to make together and put their friendship first.

If you're SURE, then absolutely!  Your friend may be in denial for awhile, may not want to hear it, but if you're a true friend you have a responsibility to be honest and truthful.  In the long run your friend is going to be glad you didn't let this go on any longer.

It takes time to heal all wounds.\nAccept the fact that you hurt your friend, you did the right thing by trying to talk to your friend, You have appologized, now wait.

I wouldn't have thought so at first, but yes I have. Belive it or not it can happen. It takes a trusting leap of faith but there are some good people out there.You can't have too many good friends no matter where they are.

This is call true friendship. It's hard to find a good long lasting friendship. A good friendship can rely on each other and have intimate with each other without involved love. \n\nI have the same situation and it goes well with me and my friend.\n\nJoyce
