What if you care about someone, and they care about you. Where do you draw the line or when do throw in the towel?
What if this person means a lot to you, and you know that you are incredibly important to them too? As in, you are their best friend. Can you just leave them because they can't give you 'their all' at this point in time?
Is it wrong to walk away because you cannot get what you want, when you want?
Feel free to answer however you want, I'm just curious about the topic in general.

If you want more out of the relationship than they are willing to give, then give it up. You won't be happy with this person, find someone who will make you happy.

If you're on the friendship level as bestfriends, stay BESTFRIENDS. Not homie lover friends, just friends. Be there when they need you and love them still. I know a lot of people who did the friends with benefits thing and not just sex being the benefit, they acted like they were in a relationship, just with out the relationship benefits. When feelings become involved and one person wants the relationship and the other wants to be "just friends" and not meet you half way, then you get hurt. If you back off a little and do the JUST BESTFRIENDS thing, if the other person really wants you, he/she will be willing to give you their all. If not and all they wanted was the friendship with benefits, they won't pursue you, they'll just go get it some where else or try and convince you to give it to them.

I am 26m and I have never had a real significant relationship with a woman. Longest relationship I have had is maybe 2 months. I havent been on a date in 3 and a half years. I am very very discouraged, but I dont give up hope. I pray about it alot, and I know that someday, the girl for me will come along. I admit, it hurts being alone and seeing all your friends and family getting married and having kids. I know that things will get better, but it is hard, and I understand what you are going through.

best friends don't abandon each other. Maybe they just are not ready to risk the friendship.
the time to abandon hope is when your 38 going on 39, have a 6 yr old special needs child, and an 8 yr old going on 18 (so to speak) and you are a part time care giver to their grandmother. By the time one has time for a serious relationship, they'll be too old for one.

It really comes down to what you can live with and what you can't. If you are wanting something that the other person can not give you, you have to search your soul to see if you can and are willing to live without it. If your answer is yes, then stay. If your answer is no, then leave.
You deserve what you need in life, and nobody should make you settle for less.

it all depends if u can look into their eyes and see u with them for a long time then stay with them and work out the problems. But if u cant see them in ur futer then tell them u love them but u dont love them that much. Be sweet about it but get the messege across.

are you talking about turning a great friendship into love and the other person doesn't want that? if that's what you mean, I would respect their decision and keep the great friendship but if the friendship isn't what you want forever - then by all means go your separate ways!

If you really want something you will never give up trying till you get it, if you do then it wasn't really what you wanted or it wasn't worth trying and waiting for

if u stick around too long, for me u will b begging 4 a friendship/relationship..........why won't they notice you immediately..? coz they are busy with other relations................ sticking around would b like you settling for second best or even less......when there is no light, look somewhr else..............don't compromise way too much, its a sign of weakness and they are likely to take you for granted
