if you have a relationship with with some one, and she does not love you
as a mate, but you do,, what would you do?

I'm the eternal optimist, so I'd hang in until the inevitable
conclusion,and I was utterly crushed. But I'd get over it.

i wouldnt bother, wouldnt want to be with someone that didnt feel the
same for me.

Well I dunno be hard to date myself, get lonely

But if it's love sweet,not just lust.I've seen it turn to love on both
parts even though it started off one sided.And we parted as great
friends.I know she still thinks of me from time to time, and I look back
on our time very fondly now.

It’s not a relationship when only one person gives. Plus the one that
gives will be taken advantage of and used by the other.

dam is sad to know some one feels like that and there is nothing you can
do, but maybe someone has the answer for this one!!

i understand that..but when i was going thru my divorce, i knew deep
down i shouldnt even be dating and i hurt the guy too..didnt mean too..i
wasnt ready and i knew that, but did it anyways.

Well I have told the one I'm with now not to tell me unless she means
it. She has told me that 4 times now without prompting from me, so I
guess I'm the wrong person to answer this one Mo!

Break up,keep as friends if possable.Move on,you may find the one you do
fit with.

When you love (romantically) the one that does not love you and you have
made your feelings known...they may love you as a friend (but not a
forever partner) because there are many different levels of love...If
this is the case, you should move on, and be able to remain friends,
unl;ess there has been dishonesty??? When you really love someone, and
the feeling is not mutual, you should be happy for them when they do
find the right one...sad for the one in love...but at least you made
your feelings known, and who knows what the future may hold...

Just make sure to get a good chunk of hair & a piece of clothing
to make their doll out of

LMAO,Catch!

Well once myself found myself in a relantionship. That I did not care
for him like I should so just told him that I did not feel as if I was
what he was looking for and nor was he what I was looking for and we
parted as friends and still talk at times as friends only. I could not
see me staying in a relantionship that I was not happy in. Would rather
be alone than misable.

Sit down, tell her where I am at &ask if there is anything we can do to
get closer. If not, 2 choices; keep things as are or part as friends &
keep at least that. dated a lady for 2 yr 2 months, she just wasn't
comfortable, we broke up, stayed friends, talk on phone, meet her & her
guy friend for drinks , once in awhile. Didn't work for us, but still
good friends. WIN/WIN situation.

Being subtle doesn't seem to work with guys and so i will sit him down
and tell him that i don't want any intimacy from him...hopefully, we can
remain friends

dammmm!! did that ever happen to you?

well, happened to me once and it was my own fault. Feeling lonely I
thought I was ready to date again. I wasn't and I ended up hurting him.
Not that I meant to and I felt awful about it. But I spent 14 years in a
one sided marriage and decided I couldnt put someone else through what I
went through. We did not part as friends although I tried. He was angry
and had every right to be. Thats why for now I'm just happy as a clam to
make friends.

I waited for him and now I'm married to him.

lucky woman!!
