Don’t Take Love for Granted
I’ll befriend a girl because we just aren’t a good dating match, because we are looking for different things, because she isn’t attracted, or because she started dating someone. Keep in mind, i’m more open to doing this because I date alot and am usually meeting other women in the meantime.(as opposed to the guy who mostly fixates on one or two). Most times, I’ve only lightly dated the girl (if I did at all) so there is less emotional attachment.
When I’ve really liked the girl and there was alot of emotional attachment, I’ve chosen to be friends on rare occasions.(they’ve usually been really good friendships). Here usually there was a high level of friendship during the relationship, there was amazing communication, and I cared about her enough that I’d be willing to go through the emotional toil. The transition usually has alot more ups and downs but requires a ton of honest communicating and figuring out boundaries. Honesty is usually why it stays. This is painful and takes a certain type of personality/mentality to be willing or able to do this.
If I’m super into a girl and there isn’t this level of friendship or commitment, I won’t befriend her since it would be too painful for me (and why put myself through that if I wouldn’t be ok just being friends)
That said, its definitely possible to be friends. You just need to understand friendship in terms of how much you like who someone is, regardless of your attraction (even though these factors often tie into each other)
