Comment on The Consolation Prize Part II: Friendship by kamalla mccain

I don’ t think it has anything to do with what one feels the other person deserves. People don’t become more than friends for various reasons. There may be a lack of physical attraction, sexual tension or chemistry. Everyone has different expectations for their long term mate. I don’t think anyone should take it personally.

I totally agree with this! At one point I tried the “let’s be friends” out of naivety thinking I would one day get the “prize” if I stayed around long enough but it was a waste of time and an emotional roller coaster. The thing is when the guy says “let’s be friends” in my case he really wanted to keep me around just in case and then come back to me when he was done exploring his options. Like for real? I’m not than just an option and it was in that experience I realized that settling being placed in the “friend” category is not all that it’s cracked up to be and in the end you end up losing. Like how can I be friends with someone that I like and how do I just sit back and watch him date other people and not expect it to affect me? I think guys use the “Let’s be friends” thing to turn down a girl gently without hurting her feelings. I’d rather a guy break it off completely with me then put me in the friend category

As far as the cut off thing, it’s on a case by case basis. I’m not one to do a total cutoff. I will still answer your call/text/email if it comes in, but I’m no longer putting forth any effort into the friendship when I want(ed) more than you thought I deserved.

All I can say is ahahahahahaha….this is some real ish right here!!! Only once have I been interested in dating a male friend and we only remained friends. In hind sight…it was for the better!!! But I am usually the one not interested in dating A LOT of my male friends. I am just super picky and not at all disgruntled about being single..so finding my right match is just a matter of time for me. Although you don’t have to SETTLE for less by being the friend….you also don’t have to cut them off completely. You can still be cordial, say hello every once in a while…but the cut off thing is a bit extreme. But hay, if that makes one feel better about the situation…get to cutting those strings…I ain’t mad atcha!

I’m really feeling this Rich! I have been in a situation where I’ve been in somewhat of a “platonic” dating circumstance (in my eyes), but not in the guy’s. This was going on for about 4 years where we’d go out to dinners, movies, plays; all of the things that I wanted from a true “boyfriend”, but I just wasn’t interested in him in that sort of way. He wanted more and I just wasn’t ready to commit to that. However, he treated me with the utmost respect and everything and we became the best of “friends”.

Just recently, he all of a sudden excommunicated me from his life without warning. No phone call, no text, no FB message, no nothing…. I then find out he’s engaged through an alternate source.

So I guess you can say that he figured out that he was worth much more than being in the so called “friend” zone with me and moved on. I guess I’m ok with that and I wish him the best, however, I just wish he would have told me about it before I learned from other sources. But to each his own. I wish him the best…

I know he’ll be just fine, and I’m moving on as well. I have to be open for the next opportunity to come my way!

This just goes to show you that there is a thin line between male and female “friendships”, especially if there is some attraction involved on one end.

Keep writing great articles like this!

Peace, Love, and Light!

Comment on Threshold of Forgiveness by RENEE

RENEE — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 03:26:46 +0000

My favorite quote on this subject: “Holding on to unforgiveness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.” It will surely eat you alive and cause all sorts of physical illness in your body. Forgiving doesn’t mean you have to invite the “offender” over for dinner, it just means you let it go from the heart level. You release them. You pray for them. When you can honestly say you can pray a sincere positive prayer for the “offender” and say to God, “Father, forgive them for they no not what they do,” you are on the path to forgiveness. Now the father can forgive you for your imperections.
