I explained this to him, and he said he understood but he wanted to be my friend after he took some time. He reminded me of my brother-in-law, who’s a great guy, but well, like a brother to me. Yes, we had great conversation, but I wasn’t feeling the butterflies. I went out with a guy last winter for a few dates and while we got along very well, it just, well, wasn’t there for me. If the latter, it’s time to move-on-dot-org. Good question! Let’s discuss the do’s and don’t’s of post-dating friendship: If she ended things… Be sure you actually want to be her friend… not something more.īefore you jump into friendship, ask yourself if you are doing it because you really just want to keep her in your life, or because you hope she’ll change her mind and want to date you? What I’m asking is: Can you stay friends with someone you tested the dating waters with, but ultimately one of you decided you didn’t want to swim all the way to Relationship Island together and settle in a cabana for two? I’m not talking about staying friends with someone after a full-blown committed relationship. But what happens when you actually want to be friends…is it possible?
