You\'ve already seen that she isn\'t an angel.

And do you know her...
I like to look for the better sides of people....


,as when I see president bush I see the devil( LOL)yes I live in america.




From the way you said she reacted,

It\'s obvious that she isn\'t an angel.

Years from now, you\'ll be kicking yourself for not getting over her sooner.

Maybe, maybe not. for all you know It might have been love that made her drive me away from her.
Maybe she thought I should be with someone else.

Love drove her away from you?  Keep dreaming.  Maybe she just doesn\'t like you romantically.

Ok since this seems the help people in love problems lets see if you guys can help Efflixi out. :D

Ok my best female friend is really good friends with my most recent ex.
I used to have a crush on her before i met my ex.

Now me and her talk like non stop and we do stuff togeather BUT, my stupid self has feelings for her again and i dont know what to do.

If she feels the same way i dont even know if shell say yes because of her relationship with my ex. :\'(

Oh and i must say i was in the exact same situation as the thread started before i met my ex with this same girl. She, of course, said no to going out but we still stayed really close friends.

Well we werent as good friends back then but now we are so u think shellcange her mind this time orsui just move on....

*sigh*

thats what flirting was invented for... it tests the water but gives you the power to brush it off as a joke. As long as you dont get too heavy with it when you start :P then if your getting a good responce you can try a little more and so on untill your mostly sure that its a mutuial feeling....

but dont do this over weeks or months or else it might just become commonplace in the friendship and then you wont get the right feedback :)

My advice to you:  FORGET ABOUT HER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  If this is her reaction, then she\'s an energy sucker.  The following adjectives may also apply:  Manipulative, shallow, juvenile, insecure, dishonest.

At least you have a clear answer though!  Sounds like she couldn\'t have been that good a friend in the first place.

I couldn\'t forget about an angel
I was apathidic before I met her
I became someone when we became friends



If she treated you that way, she obviously isn\'t an \'angel\'.

OK, as this is about love in general i\'d like to tell you how it\'s on the other side, with a manly friend \"liking\" you!

It was maybe the first school year\'s month when a strange guy went up to me. He acted strange as i was reading Science Illustrated, and when he fianlly came forth to me he asked where the library was. As i was sitting in the library he went a way 3 seconds later with a friend coming to his rescue, walking away in haste.

Later that day i was scribbling on an essay, reading some \"modern art\" [comics, ok?] he once again came forth to me and asked what i was doing, a bit more slefconfident. I told him i was reading World of Warcraft comics and he seemed unhealthily interested. As i had seen his way of behaving around me and i did so with the girls, i asked him if he was into me and i guess you know what he said. So, as i am an openminded person i was happy for SOMEONE liking me, even though it was a mate of the same sex. I didn\'t tell him i was straight as i didn\'t know at that time [just gone into the \"i am a teenager, what else?\" phase and wanted to try something new, and how i felt with guys].

Because of his flattering answer at the computers we and a group of other \"outcasts\" started a friend gang, with him inviting me home to him every day. He assured me, and even my mother, nothing was going to happen between him and me[many see me as a guy who\'s looking like 5 years older and he was maybe 29].

Now, this guy which i now knew as \"Leif\" was a bit awkward in sense. He was very nice[can\'t even use that expression as to validate how NICE he was!] and at first i liked him. He seemed to act like i did, but he had something fishy going. He seemed to work up a strategy on how to make me fall in love with him [you know, guys ;P] and i discovered it. I lay undercover with my discovery until one night when we, the gang and i, had our very first feast together. We drank a bit. Some got as pissed as monkeys high on crack and someone actually kissed someone else[please don\'t ask me what sexes, cause i wasn\'t looking and wouldn\'t want to be reminded]. Now the party finally got out of hand, and as the nice and witty person i am i tried to sort it out, but my energy after 2 months of socializing had taken its turn and i was burned out with Leif\'s attempt to free me from my straight nature. I simply had to get out of this gang. The problems they had had seemed minor from the start but it soon got out of hand. I tried to get Leif ad the other to understand[leaving a person who\'s loving you is HARD! and so did the nice persons in the gang] this wasn\'t for the sake of the gang, this was the sake of me trying to keep my mind intact!

With a few sessions with the school shrink i finally had time to talk out with the guy and i finally discovered my true turn to the sexes. I was sure straight and am proud to say it just as a happy homosexual would\'ve said it! \"pride to the people!\".

Though, i still have no prejudices or grudges against homosexual men or women i\'m not as naive as i was once upon a time, and i hope everyone will enjoy others just as they are! I value the one who see\'s the best in people! My advice is think twice. First critisize yourself for having such thoughts about a total stranger sitting on that bar-stool, second: think of yourself as the poor guy having to take looks and words from total strangers passing past you

\"Look at that Nigger, why isn\'t he home in the ghetto\'s\" \"Yuck, i hate homo\'s. They\'re soo disgusting!\"

You can joke about them or even talk in friendly tone but the words will always be the same.

Think twice, think wise!

[Maybe this was a ranting thread. Sorry:( Wasn\'t meant to. Meant this in good will to the supressed ones. Delete this post if you like...]

The only problem with that is that love means a lot of different things.  Many people, myself included, have no problem telling their friends that they love them without wanting to go out with them.  Love is an emotion that is not held down to people that you \"like\" or family, but also your everyday friends.  Although in this case I think your probably right...

Suprised nobody has mentioned the Ladder Theory.  You tried to jump ladders from \'friend\' to \'real\' and ended up in the abyss.  

A quote:


The first thing to notice here is that a woman has not one ,but two ladders. This is becasue in addition the normal ladder, a woman also has a friends ladder. The friends ladder is where a woman puts guys that she considers \"just friends\". More to the point where she puts guys who don\'t get to have sex with her.

The problem arises because a woman never lets a guy know which ladder he is on. Obviously there is a huge difference, or gap between these two ladders. It is in this gap that kisses of death are delivered and intellectual whores are made. All a man can do is \"go for it\" and make a move on a girl; ask her out, try to kiss her, write her a love note or whatever. If he\'s on the good ladder fine. If he is on the friends ladder this is a case of ladder jumping. The man is trying to jump the gap from the friends ladder to the real ladder. The girl has two choices at this point: she can let him on the ladder and all is well, or, more likely, she can kick him in the head, and off the ladder. If you look you\'ll see that below the ladder is the Abyss(what was it Nietzsche said about a man being on a rope stretched over an Abyss?....well it\'s worse than he thought; there is no rope.) So the man falls into the Abyss. The Abyss isn\'t really as bad as it sounds. Mostly it\'s a period of self-loathing, embarrassment, and of course utter awkwardness with the girl in question if they are talking at all.

My thoughts on love.
« Reply #56 on: March 07, 2006, 12:50:30 am »
What is love?What is lust?
Love is sacrifice, putting yourself last for someone you deeply care about.

Lust is anti-love, a mockery of all that love is, through it many secrede practices are put to shame, downtrodden and made into nothing more then games for mere amusment, etc Dating and Sex.
    Don\'t be fool into thinking that it\'s not lust, just because it\'s their personality that gets  you
What did dating use to be?
        dating was, courtship a way of finding your spouse without lust.
What is dating now?
       dating now is a game, a way to spend the evening\'s, horse off, and now it is also filled with sex

Am I wrong?
     THat is for you to find out search your hearts and souls maybe it will come.
I am a Chirstian
So I believe in Predestitnation, and God giving us a \"free will\"
So what do I believe? I believe life is just a huge RPG

I think your view is a bit too traditional for most people to relate to nowadays - \"lust\" isn\'t such a bad or negative or unwanted and unnatural thing. It can be if it gets out of control, but lust is itself a healthy and human thing.

Frankly, I think the whole \"love is sacrifice\" definition just doesn\'t work. Love is not putting anyone above you - it\'s making sure that everything is balanced and balanced extremely well - that your happiness shares with someone else\'s happiness, and if someone else is really happy but you truly aren\'t, that\'s not quite love anymore.

Yes dating is a game, and it\'s a fun game. You\'re also deluding yourself if you think that lust never played a role in courtships of the past ;) There is nothing wrong with a friendly non-serious date, \"a way to spend the evening\" as you put it. It\'s just another way of bonding with someone, testing the waters so to speak.

I also think that although you may whisper such sweet nothings to yourself or to your object of affection, you can\'t understand loving anyone until you\'ve spent years and years with them. While you\'re a teenager, you don\'t understand love period.

ask your self when you love someone, Would you die for that somebody? That is what I consider love, sacrifice the willingness to put yourself before someone, not putting above
