Lovers or Best Friends- How do you tell the difference?

Post Reply New Topic

It's all those rule xyz, except where [100s of rules here] ones that catch us out aye.

eg a friend won't sleep with you, except where he an NT and his friends don't think you're pretty but he does so you two do, but then you find out it didn't mean anything and he acts like it never happend.

This is called sexual exploitation and is generally regarded as a bad thing(tm)
us AS girls need to be on the lookout for guys like that.

Well, for starters, best friends are more often than not the same sex

Granted it can be hard to tell thogh, when there not at least. Partly because when best friends are of opposing sexes it often doesnt take much to blur the lines between friendship and romance.

And Romanian. A peck on the cheeks a more common greeting than a handshake in Romania. (If anyones wondering how I know this, I spent 2 weeks in Romania last year, and had 3 dozen Romanian people come to stay a few months ago)


Yeh, thats the problem with dating anyone who you consider to be a particularly good friend. If it collapses, then it makes the friendship so much more fragile, and usually has to be rebuilt from the ground up - if it can be rebuilt at all.


That ran through my mind to, but Id say it was definately more common for a man and a woman who are best friends to fall in love (not that Im not achnoladging lesser romantic/sexual emotions, but by and large you wouldnt act on them about a friend unless you ARE serious about it)


Yeh, Im not homophobic or anything, but that dosent mean most of the time someone mentions romantic relationships I dont assume they mean a man and a woman, unless I have reason to think otherwise.
