Is it possible to just be friends?

yes, its possible to sustain your friendship with this guy. You just have to distance yourself from whatever you felt made him your boyfriend and move more towards the things that make him just your friend.

Well, at least you know that after you tried being more than friends with him, things didn't worked out between the two of you. Therefore now, yes it is very possible you can stay friends instead...I am sure there's more for you to do as friends than if you were together. Travel, movies, coffee, mall, visit other friends, party, phone calls, online chat, you name it. Just keep it going, as friends, but don't do anything out of the limit line. Don't flirt with him or anything. Just be friends.

If you don't want a sexual relationship I doubt if you can maintain just a friendship seeing as you love him. You are going to develop stronger feelings for him as time goes on and men can only resist so much flirtation before they act.

Make up your mind - friend or lover - than do what you must do.

NO NO NO...its not possible. leave him alone!!...and be sure u dont get jealous and possesive when u see him having a great time with another....and of course dont pretend to feel sorry for him when u actually are just enjoying the fact that u dumped him for someone "more fantastic"....i wonder whom u will go out with next?...i dont think he will be "very good friends"...and u will not be " in love with this guy"....i thought those were the criteria for a good marriage partner?..or am i lost?..have mercy on me?**?

I think so, assuming both parties are agreeable with it. There is someone I care about, but I know in my heart he is "NOT" the man for me.

Girl you can't just be friends if you really like him ......or herjust go for it. GOOD LUCK!

Its possible. Takes will power and strength. but it is possible
