"Let's Stay Friends"  − 14 May, 2008

How many times have I said it or heard it or thought it.

"Let's stay friends" after dumping someone.

Last time I decided the guy wasn't right for me I thought "well, I could stay friends with him". I didn't love him. I asked if it would be possible for him to be friends with me. His answer just made me drop him like a sack of potatoes...

Yes he could be friends. However I couldn't expect him not to make passes at me, not trying to touch me or not ask to sleep with me...Eeeeew.
He would always be there for me. I personaly think it's a load of crap. How could I believe he would always be there ?
I said that I could wait a while for him to get down from where he was (he was seeing flowers and hearing birds) but he said he would always love me and I would always be special.

I finally thought I was better off friendless than worrying about a friend who wanted to get in my pants. I didn't want to hurt his feelings even more. So I erased his phone number from my phone book, deleted his email, dumped everything he wrote and stopped thinking about it. I do think about it when he tries to manipulate me (and the world) in thinking he's a poor puppy I kicked on the curb. All the while he's the one who decided I was his girlfriend although it wasn't true.
