   After a breakup...
  Has anyone done the "just being friends" thing? Is it even possible? So far 1 out of about 10 people say yes. What are the conditions that it is possible?    ---------------------------------------------"Love is a disease"
  If someone was to lop off your genitals it would be possible.    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"You guys should see it out there! IT''S LIKE BOOB-A-PALOOZA!"- Albert Einstein  ;  it is only possible if you are female, or have a propensity to be female-like, i.e., you have no penis.  ;  This has never happened with me.  ;  Sally: We are just going to be friends, ok?Harry: Great!  Friends!  It''s the best thing. Harry: You realise of course that we can never be friends.Sally: Why not?Harry: What I''m saying is... and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form, is that men and women can''t be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.Sally: That''s not true, I have a number of men friends and there''s is no sex involved.Harry: No you don''t.Sally: Yes I do.Harry: No you don''t.Sally: Yes I do.Harry: You only think you do. Sally: You''re saying I''m having sex with these men without my knowledge?Harry: No, what I''m saying is they all want to have sex with you. Sally: They do not.Harry: Do too.Sally: They do not.Harry: Do too.Sally: How do you know?Harry: Because no man can be friends with a woman he finds attractive, he always wants to have sex with her.Sally: So you''re saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive.Harry: Nuh, you pretty much wanna nail''em too. Sally: What if they don''t want to have sex with you?Harry: Doesn''t matter, because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.Sally: Well I guess we''re not going to be friends then.Harry: Guess not. Sally: That''s too bad.  You are the only person I knew in New York.   Domine non secundum peccata nostra facias nobis;  damn everything.    ---------------------------------------------"Love is a disease";  Ive seen in work several times with my friends.The key is to not expect the friendshp to be just like every other friendshir. It will feel different, and you''ll have to invent ways of dealing with the problems that you know will arise, but it can happen, and be successful.  ;  Actually, I''m still friends with my ex-ex-girlfriendAnd we do go out with each other too, we just don''t have that love thing going on. Or at least I don''t have that feeling for her anymore, can''t speak for her side.500  ;  I''m willing to bet some money that this thread reaches over 3 pages long, despite the very simplistic nature of the topic.    swift URL | browse my bookmarks [server may not always be on]SotteD | View/download my Song of the Day Sensimed | Info/download;  I don''t know where I heard this or how true it is, but guys would prefer hanging out with other guys instead of gals if it wasn''t for the sexual attraction.
