Tony, I'm not sure what it is your asking. \nThere is nothing wrong with being friends with someone and not wanting more, nor is it suppose to hurt. \n*Tickle, tickle, tickle*\nCome on, that's gotta cheer you up!\nBest wishes to you!

You can always forgive, there are no limitations there. You can never forget because once something has been done the memory will always be there. The real question should be should you forgive and that will depend upon a lot of factors. Is this a constant reoccurring problem? Is your friend hurting you intentionally or is s/he just not tactful or too bright? If the hurting is intentional I would point that out to the friend and tell them that if they value your friendship their behavior will need to come to a stop. If they refuse to stop they are not a true friend and you would be better off not associating with them anymore.

You should never have to try hard to be someones friend. If people don't like  you for who you are then they aren't worth being friends with. No matter what, just be yourself.

Dont worry too much about your mate. if they are a real friend then they will see what you mean to them - without you helping them. remember that you cant force someone to be your friend. also try and think if you need a friend who doesn't care for you, and that someone can only stay sweet while being hurt for so long, even if they dont mean it.\ntrust me, i know what you are going through from experience and that this is a hard thing to go through, but stay strong

i can undersatnd why u feel so......i myself hav felt so very often.\ni think u ought to go and talk things out wid ur frnd.coz if u dont do so, sometimes if someday u lose ur friend, u shall regret abt not having given the relationship the care and treatment it needed. no dont avoid her coz of ur pride. but if she avoids u too much even if u hav been a very gud frnd to her,then if i were in ur place i dont think i wud hav continued seekin her attention. i think in suach a cse it wud b better to try and presrve the other frndships tht i hav........

Yes, but trust me don't take it beyond friendship it can end in a disaster...Friendships are forever and are not worth the chance of ruining it if you are already this close with the person, just enjoy been friends.

Never ever waste your time on ANYONE who just wants to be friends. The only time you hear this is when you're looking for more than just a friend. If you want a friend, hey thats cool make use of this situation. However, if you're looking for more than that, don't waste your time because you'll just sit there watching the person you desire hooking up with everyone except you!

Oh YAAAAAA, I had a friend for a long time and I dumped her yesterday. It was decision that took a lot of thought, but she finally pushed the envelope and I did it. \nWOW..... does it ever feel good! A big weight off my shoulders.\nGet rid of the negative people in your life, even if it means having a lot less so called "Friends"

If you don't want to be friends with someone, that is your choice. I can understand why you prefer to have friends who are respectful of other people. If I were in your situation, I would keep my distance, I prefer to be with friends who treat others the way they would like to be treated.\nHope this helps.

Hmm well if they get on your nerves theyre not your best friend. But by saying that I wouldnt be answering your question. So do my best friends get on my nerves, hmm no not really although i do disagree with wht some of them say a lot of the time, but the thing is theyre my friends and I get over it. Theres no point loosing a friendship over pettiness becaue friends and good freidns are far too valuable

I have been in that place years ago.  I felt something special with a good friend of mine and it was confusing.  I got the courage to tell him directly how I felt about being something more than a friend but I was rejected.  I cannot say that it is not painful but at least the situation was clear for me and we are able to keep our friendship.  Actually, he is one of my best friends now.  I suggest that you tell him directly but you have to be prepared that he may not be able to give you a positive answer and you can live with that!  Anyway, if you continue to hide your feelings, it may be quite painful and confusing!  Good Luck!

Hurts to be rejected by a friend, I remember that. Yet new friends is how you grow. Your world expanse & gets bigger all the time & with each new friend. Really it has true. It must become bigger then a friend or two. You are young & so is your friend & I think she is experience the need to grow. Spread her wings & fly solo a bit. Keep talking & being friends but let new ones come in to your life. Over the yrs. ahead you will meet many new friends & your circle widens. Makes life interesting. Chances are good she will always want to be friends just trying something new right now. So don't beat yourself up about it. Tough being a kid at times.

She didn't want to hurt your feelings and wants to be your friend more then likely coz I have said that to someone who is nice but,just not my romantic type!

The only thing it depends on with me is if you are trying to come between me and my family in a harmful way..\n\nOtherwise.. I forgive easily .. unfortunately I am a softy and try to understand where everyone else is in their lives, I give them many more outs than the normal person would.. so if they have even half the friendship as I have with them, they'll find it easy to come and say.. "Ya know what?.. I over-reacted.. sorry.. wanna go get a beer?" and know that even though they were having a bad day.. week life..I wouldn't judge them as harshly as they did me when my feelings were hurt. \n\nAll people have faults.. friends have limits and breaking points, so do you.. if you're feelings were hurt, why were they hurt.. because this person acted so fouly, or did you take it too personal or hold this person in a higher regard than they should have been? \n\nTake the high road.. feels good every time.. even if you almost bite off you tongue sometimes..take the high road.

Yes.  If you really want to get over them and move on, then you have to be able to focus on yourself and not have them always around to bring up the past.  Perhaps some day you can be friends but especially when your trying to move forward and get over them it is best to shut them out of your life completely.
