Why do women often fall in love with their best (male) friend?

Question

I'm just curious. Why do women often fall in love with their best (male) friend? Is it because to closeness?

Answer 1

yes ,yes yes
frienship is like a relationship with out the sex
he is what your looking for,he knows you inside and out and loves your habits you can trust him with anything.and you love him for who and what he is.his thoughts on things mean the most to you.you cant bare the thought of not having him there.
you love your friends dearly and if hes your best friend that love is even tighter and special.
when you meet a guy to date you look for thos things and more.he has to be like your best friend and more to work.
you want someone to share your intrest and can have fun with but in fact if you have a male friend he could be mister right if he could forfill the other part of being your man thats not always the case.
i know alot of people who ended up dating their friend and lived happy together my parents are one 50 years next month.
if you deside to take that step you must insure
your friendship will last so make a pack before you cross that line that no matter what your friend ship will be their when and if its over
when we date someone for along time a friendship forms and thats what we miss most when it ends. so theres no wonder why we fall in love with a male friend we are in fact dating him he just isnt giving IT to us and we can see other people to GET it.
thats why we find our self ATRACTED to MR.right our bestfriend
i have even read thing were woman have dreams about their girl friends and was worried they were gay just to find out they were not just they closeness they have can trigger a sexual responce not becouse you find that person hot but it what you are missing in your sex life its your missing a close friend in that bond and some people believe its your heart telling you what it desires not your best friend of same sex but someone like her in a man.
hoped i helped

It's usually the illusion of them being good to them that whats makes them seem to be appealing as a mate. You figure that they would stay the same if you became romantically involved but normally thats not the case at all. You will see their true colours on how they truly treated the girlfriends previous to you in time and it can be not as all what or how he had treated you as a friend. You proably were treated better when you were just a friend. But, reality usually women confuse their feelings for love with graditude. Feelings of appreciation because a person has done so much kind things for you is not love. Don't cross that line you'll only be disappointed. It's very rare it works out.

Not completely true, there are some that don't. But I do agree it is because of the closeness. Possibly becuase they had this "best" male friend through thick and thin, and even possibly when the girl had another bf, to whom she'd complain to or cry to to the best male friend. And after all that drama was done *if the girl breaks up or something* she realizes that her best friend truly cares and thats waht wins over her heart. Another reason might be immaturity and peer pressure. By that, I mean I got SO much peer pressure in High School when I had a male best friend, and even though he had a gf, they continually asked "So when are you guys hooking up" or "are you SURE you dont like him? I think he likes you!" and that sort of question can really mess with peoples heads and easily start manipulating with their feelings.

Answer 4

I fell in love with my guy best friend. It's not only the closeness it's just that he knows so much about me already, he accepts me for whatever quirks I have and we've been through a lot as friends. Maybe because we women don't want to go through the entire thing of meeting someone and getting close all over again when a guy best friend is right there. I'm not sure either but it's nice to have your lover as your best friend and not two separate people.

Answer 6

It's natural falling for a male best friend. He is nice and have things in common. I think it's hard knowing you love him and he doesn't know. How does he feel about you? Would he reject you if you wanted more?

Answer 7

I know what you mean! Its a sense of security.Their friends knows them so well, their so sweet and they offer lots of companionship and security that we tend to start falling love with them or liking them more then a friend. Often we are better off as friends though :) Relationships take on a whole new meaning and brings in more drama and serious issues to deal with.Best of wishes, good luck Sweety.

Answer 8

not all do... but for some i guess it has something to do with being with that person most of the time and enjoying the same things, hobbies and activities together.. it creates a bond, then women tend to romanticize it, thus the infatuation... while on the other hand, the guys would just want to get you to bed.. but it will be up to the woman to decide and give signs..

Answer 9

Well its most likely because women are generally attracted to males who are confident of themselves. Seeing as how males will be alot more confident if they feel unpressured then a female is probably going to end up falling for him. A guy will possess qualities that are unseen to a girl until she gets to know him better. This means being close friends. These qualities could include trust which is a major factor in relationships. So in answer to your question. Yes, closeness does play a large part in love due to factors such as trust. Hope that answers your question =)

Answer 10

It seems natural, I would wonder more about the women that DON"T fall in love with their best friends.
