How many times has this happened to you?

The below is actually quite funny and very true, the worst thing is - regarding the " i just want to be friends" the guy will end up not wanting a friendship at all.

But in a way i cant really blame the guy for becoming more distant, its difficult to be in love and not being loved back, and sometimes a friendship will simply not be enough....

The Futile Fugue: Variations on a Theme
How many times has this happened to you?
The stories remain the same, from the first note you passed in grammar school, to the woman you met through a mutual friend in college:
You meet a girl who is everything you ever wanted in a life-partner: attractive, funny, smart, great personality, laughs at your jokes, understands who you are as a human being, etc. You talk to her briefly, and find out that she is even more attractive now that you've spoken to her. You ask her out. She says to you:

"I JUST WANT TO BE FRIENDS"

You meet someone: a neighbor, schoolmate, co-worker, in the same club, on the same bus. You become fast friends. One day, you realize that, in addition to being a close friend, this person is an attractive woman. You ask her out. She says to you:

"I DON'T WANT TO RISK OUR FRIENDSHIP"

You meet a girl who you know could be the one. She makes your toes curl, your stomach knot, your mouth dry -- you become even more of a gibbering idiot then you usually are. You're so incapacitated in her presence that you can't ask her out. You decide that things will be better once you get to know her better, so you become friends. You become best friends -- so good, in fact, that you can't bring yourself to ask her out. Yet there is this nagging voice in the back of your mind that says you could be more than friends. You swear that you will tell her how you really feel. Right before you can do this, she tells you:

"I'VE MET THIS REALLY GREAT GUY"

Keep well
