I had a male friend who was my best friend for probably 13 years. Then we bought a house together. It completely changed our friendship,we quit hanging out,and we only talked about house related stuff and argued most of the time. But we moved apart and now we get along better but we still dont hang out like before. And like your situation,he was my best friend for all those years so i felt like i was losing something huge,cuz i didnt know if i'd ever find another best friend. Which i haven't really,not that were as close as he was.
To answer your general question,men and women being friends only works when they have the same level of feelings for each other. Which can happen. Although,i had feelings for my friend and he didnt for me,but i got through it somehow LOL Wasted all those years of my life waiting for him though,but,thats another story. |
