‘Just friends’ is definitely a danger zone. It depends on the person you love. If you love them a lot, but they don’t love you back, you are just going to have to settle with the ‘just friends’. But if that’s not the case, then seriously. GO GET ‘EM! (also rent the movie ‘JUST FRIENDS’. hilarious, but it might help.

Your choice.
If they love you back, sometimes friendship with love is a beautiful thing.
Most people would get into a more serious relationship though.
But if they don’t love you back then leave it be. You shouldn’t break both your hearts if you can still stay close.

I would settle for it from the relationship I just lost, no idea if I will get it or if I can handle it that way - but I live in hope….

If it is before a relationship has formed i would say no… because one side has love and the other just friends - then again it depends on the kind of love you mean

Not really,but if he trully loves you, he will bond with you as a friend, even if it costs his sanity.

Im trying the friends thing at the moment.. i know it may end up killing me becasue i have fallen in love with her.. she knows this.. but WITH MY HELP, she realised she still loves someone else. this is the 2nd time haha, only this time, i can tell her anything. We are VERY close friends now. Maybe she will learn to love me back? If not then i cannot fall into the “ill stick around for a hope of more” shees more to me than that.. im her best friend aswell..
