Why do people give up their friends for a bf/gf? It's happened twice to me, and I can't think of a logical explanation.

In the short term it's just the newness of the bf/gf. You're all giddy with the thought of being in love and you want to spend you time with the person. You may not even realize you're neglecting your friends. But given time, the person will usually wind up either splitting time between the gf/bf and friends or finding a way to spend time with both.
It's natural, it happens, and there's not much yo can do about it. Except maybe call up your friend and say something like "Hey, what's going on? Since you started going out with so and so you've been like a ghost. Did you forget about your friends?"

People are immature at times. We as humans do not understand what loyalty is. As a matter of fact, they may not be true friends. However, once we get to a place where we know that a man or woman is not a constant but friends tend to stay through the good bad and indifferent

When someone has a new boyfriend/girlfriend they want to spend every waking moment with them. Its the newest of the relationship. Its happens all the time. While the new couple is loving on each other, their friends always suffer. I have been on both sides of the fence. Once the newness of the relationship wears off, you will see your friends again, trust me.

I dont know ive done this myself and had it done to me all my friends were male as i have always got on better with males than with female and as we all got older we all met people my friends girlfriends didn't like me because i was a girl and my friends would hug me when they seen me and i would get invited places they didnt like if we were all going to the pub to watch the football or round at someones house or a night out i didnt get invited becayse there was anything going on infact it was the opposite it was because there was nothing going on and we had all been friends for such along time. Then i met my partner and he didnt really like it hes older than me and doesnt like football and although he never said i dont want you to go he sort of wasnt pleased about it and i just stopped going and i dont see them anymore and i dont know why i put up with it i should have said stop sulking and that they were my friends and a part of my life and he didnt like it he should do one.

It is very simple. In the young age, due to bombardment of the hormones for both boys and girls, they tend to get attracted to each other which they get confused as love but is a simple infatuation. Many young adults fall victims for peer pressure. However, if you could steer clear of this particular period and cultivate yourself carefully by playing tiring games like tennis, etc.,
the hormones will get well under control and the life after this period is that of one beautiful journey. Good luck.

They don't give up their friends. They have a lot less time for them. Grow up and be happy for your friend.
I'm going to be blunt here: you are a child. Friends don't get in the way of their friends' love lives, they are helpers, not blockers.
You are jealous of your friend because she is spending time with somebody and spending more time with them than you. That's plain childish.

Because significant others give them a different type of attention/affection that they want. Even if they know it won't last, some just cant help it. Some just need to fulfill sexual anxiety.

something new. its kinda like the new kid in school...ppl would always flock to find out about the person, etc. this is bc they know all about u, so something new is always more interesting. u will do it too. i swore i would never do it myself but when u find someone u enjoy being with more then it just happens

people never do it purposely...it just so happens dat circumstances force u to take such a step, but it is surely not the right thing to do....try to talk to your friend....coz she/he will need u some time or the other, so let him/her know..dat ur always there, maybe that wud open his/her eyes

any one is more attracted to opposite sex then the same one. And you are thinking wrongly .If he/she is you true friend then they will not give you up . They just are exploring their new mate
