If a girl rejects me I want her to leave me alone and I want nothing to do with her. Anyone agree?
So she's only allowed a place in your world if you might have a chance at sleeping with her?
Otherwise just go away!?

Nice.

I think it's really screwed up that most of you is getting on the OP for not wanting to be friends with a girl he has unrequited feelings for. Apparently his thoughts and feelings don't matter only her's. Sometimes the best way to get over someone is to distance yourself from them. I've been there and believe me it's hard to be friends with someone you have feelings for but they don't and you want to be more. You can't just snap your fingers and say "Oh, I don't feel that way about you anymore". I'm sorry but that's crap. Oh and it just gets worse when she finds someone she actually does want to be with.

Been here before.

The girl is simply feeding her ego and she's giving you the choice to add fuel to her conceit. I wouldn't put it past her to have other guys in her circle that's she's rejected. She could be charting out many factors from all the guys. Who has long-term relationship potential, which guy makes for the best FWB, which guy provides the best security blanket financially, which guy and his friends make her look the most attractive and which guy provides her emotional stability when she needs a shoulder to cry on or her voice to be heard.

Don't be a sucker. Be firm and get a bit nasty if you have to. It's the only way she'll learn not to play with your emotions. Being serious is not an option here. It's your duty.

Please understand most women don't want a man to be a friend so that she can take advantage of him as a body guard, a shoulder to cry on, etc. You guys need to get it through your heads that you can be pretty fun and great to hang out with. I prefer male friends in fact. I said this before on threads too. I love my girlfriends but we usually talk about emotions etc. and I'm just not into that all the time. I enjoy a good discussion or banter even on all sorts of topics and men are great for that. Please try to see women as more than a lover. Women have so many other wonderful contributions - most of us do have a depth of character you know - to bring to the table than just that one thing. It seems like with some men that old saying is true, "sometimes men don't think with their head - as in the top one." I don't mean that with disrespect, since it's probably a biological thing.


You see, with some guys in this thread, their egos are shot when the girl rejects him. I know rejection sucks, that happens to everybody, and it's a test of one's character. They can take the high road by at least becoming their friend with no ulterior motive or just politely decline her offer if he's not interested. Or they can turn bitter, by shunning her and thinking she wants to trap him in some weird "friend-zone" as they say lol.

Are you guys being serious? What do we have to be "friends" about? I have at least 50 guy friends...some closer then others. NONE of us have female friends IRL.....I wonder why>?

Too much ego, lack of insight and immaturity?

Or was that a rhetorical question?

Lots of guys don't have female friends, it can be far too complicated sometimes.

Either one or the other finds the other hot or sexy and wants in their pants.

The sooner you admit it and tell the truth about it, the better off you will be!

She's did nothing wrong, the chemistry just isn't there.
If there was no chemistry there, they wouldn't talk to you in the first place.

Duh! LOL
