I am a guy who has been rejected by a few women. Should I tell them that I want to maintain a platonic friendship? Have any of you tell your female friends about you only want platonic? Or do you just let the platonic friendship develop naturally as it is meant to work.

If you want just platonic, you should say so. If you want more, you should say that also. Whatever you want. ask for it, if you get rejected, just keep it moving. That's life. Everyone is not gonna like you. Everyone is not gonna want to be your friend.

Do you know what "Platonic relationship" means? Do you think that a platonic relationship is a romantic relationship? Because that's what it sound like. Platonic means "Friends only." If you only want to be friends with your already female friends - I don;t think that is necessary to tell them because I think they would have already figured out by now. If you mean that you only want to have a romantic relationship with them - you should definitely tell them. Women can definitely be friends with men without having a romantic relationship so she may be thinking that it is going to remain that way. If you want to be only romantic tell her. But remember that the best romantic relationships develop from friendships so let is progress slowly. I hope That this is what you meant. Have a great night and I hope you find the answers that you are looking for.

Why would you feel a need to even say that? That is not normal conversation to simply have with a friend. That is a topic that should only be addressed when a relationship starts to move in an unexpected and undesired direction. You wouldn't want to give someone the impression that you believe they want something other than friendship. You may lose out on a great relationship.

Duh! its already platonic, if you get rejected. lol
Dont tell a woman you "want a platonic relationship", woman are vain, telling her that -is like saying "you dont find her sexy " It may pi** her off.
Remember, whether you're a womans lover or just her friend, she appreciates being admired by all of us.
Instead, just be a nice guy, dont grab @ her,drool and stare, touch or beg for x, but as a man you can remind her that shes sexy, comment - as a man- that she looks nice ( when she does ) the platonic part will be obvious to her as time goes on.
in the meantime you're building a great friendship.

I am not sure what you are asking. Did these relationships start out to be other than Platonic?Were you looking for more than that?If the answer is yes then ask then what you did wrong.because you need to know or else you are only going to end up with rejections. Please be prepared for some truths, and learn from them. If you approach these women and say I need to know , perhaps they can answer you. If they don,t start to look at your self and the answer may be glaring you in the face. It may be something simple as not being attentive enough or even being clingy.We all see ourselves as being desirable, or we should be,ask and work with answers best of luck to you. and as to keeping the woman as friends , only if they give you an honest answer

Don't promise what you don't understand and may not be able to deliver. The lady may not be decided if she wants a platonic relationship or not. Just start out slow and easy, and look for cues on what she wants.

in the event that they have rejected u, dont complication, they have rejected you for his or her own motives, and there is not any reason to revisit the dating as Platonic. I basically rejected a constructive guy, yet something wasnt stunning, for this reason platonic wouldnt artwork the two. additionally, attempting to bear in mind them as Platonic sounds needy. Nah, no longer well worth it, basically enable them to circulate

You tell a woman that you only want to be friends and her first instinct is that she wants you more than ever! Don't say anything unless you have to because of unwanted advances.
