I'm back Lola! smiley
I'll start with asking you a simple question. Whose happiness is more important? Yours or the people here that dont know the turmoil of emotions you are going thru? Do any one of us realize how much you really and truly love this guy? Would you rather be proud, and not ask him just because there is an unwritten code that says, 'the guy must ask out"? Lola, i'm not a fan of unwarranted nonsensical egotistical behavior, that i some times categorically refer to as "gallivanting bull[b]s[/b]hit"! This is your heart we are talking about! Would you let a good thing pass you by, because you were too proud to stretch your hand? Do you know if the guy has been expecting your response all along, cos he made the first move, by saying you guys would make sense together? Pls realize that NOT ALL GUYS are MACHO when it comes to matters of the heart, also realize that not all relationships are meant to be formally or officially initiated, by the guy! It doesnt take anything out of you, does it? It also doesnt make you look demeaning, does it? Afterall, you did not just meet him! Look at this scenario. You already know him, you know when he's strong, weak, angry, happy, infact you can almost predict him! He makes you happy, you feel protected and safe when u are with him. You two already have chemistry. My dear, would you rather let him go, start a fresh relationship, and keep missing him, even when you get married to another, all because you were too proud to ASK? C'mon girl! All he'll say is yes or no! Does he bite? Or am i missing something?
Conclusively Lola, be the architect of your own happiness! NO ONE here, not even me, knows your own emotional infrastructure, more than you do! Dont allow some people use their Reggae Music, to spoil your R&B! Cheerz Babe! wink

Another reason why I keep hammering that there is nothing like "just friends" between an adult male and female unless he's gay,impotent,she's hideously ugly or deformed. Apart from that, it's only a matter of time before the inevitable happens. People just prefer to delude themselves all in the name of being "civilized" and "enlightened". Study broken relationships and marriages and you'll notice that the individuals they start seeing are the "friends" they had all along. The way and manner human beings choose to delude themselves never fails to shock me.

Well I used to have male friends and we had nothing for each other. The advantage of having friends of the opposite sex is to learn about the opposite sex and how to apply that knowledge to all your dealing with the opposite sex. I was able to get trick & tactics of guys, how they think, what they like & dislike, their slangs, their runs, paroles etc. So I don't 100% percent agree with you.

I still have few male friends though, I know their chick well & they knew my bobo too, some even graduated to marriage with their chicks and I didn't try to spoil it in fact I inspired them to take the babes seriously.

But ever since I started browsing Nland, I started thinking along the line of what you are saying. Most threads, stories and generalizations only show that there can't be any platonic relationships amongst adult male & female because the human mind now is weak, possessive, greedy, self fish & lacks loyalty & trust. Some don't even mind dating their close friend's partner and they do it in the disguise of friendship. No true friendship these days because all union have motives and self interest, what we have is a fallacy or decoy to achieve goals/wants/desires.

@cuddlemii, You might have been friends with guys with an innocent mind but that doesn't mean the thought of taking things to the next level never came to him (or you). I'm pretty sure some of them opened up about the stress in their relationships to you and you probably did the same. If both relationships crumble, you'll be the first person you fall back on or wanna hook up with? That's right. . . It's your friend who knows you better than the person you dated. If those guys who are married where to open up all the feelings they had for you during the "friendship" phase, you'll be shocked. This thread alone tells the whole story. If both parties are attractive personalities, it's just a matter of time even though the choose to live in self delusion. Bottom line : We are ALL animals with needs.

Re: My friend and my feelings.... by witzsoul(m): 5:54pm On Sep 25, 2011
i find it quiet intriguing most time, when one gets  stocked up with interest and choices, but stands no ground on ready answers when the right occations of interest  shows up it self, it may sound debatable but true, the fact that none is perfect, is also justified by the point that when you find something of interest to you about a person, there must also be something of strenght in you to compliment what such person might not have, is only a word of idae, i agree the female folks should be on check of her integrity , but that is not violated if only you can make him come to point with reality.

this guy, you go kill person here today with these your high-sounding words. grin grin grin cheesy cheesy cheesy abeg, take am easy! no be everybody follow you go cambridge cheesy cheesy grin grin grin.

Meanwhile, howz today? Happy Sunday. I hope say you go church o.

@OP, it's either you tell this guy your mind or you move on, and then only wonder for the rest of your life how he would have responded to the invitation. You've known him for years. You know him better than we do. It's your call. We humans, sometimes put the barriers that rob us of happiness and limit us in Life.

@all the guys here. If you are the type who'll despise a lady for expressing her mind to you, I tire for you o.

Nobody is despising a lady for expressing her mind.

IF a MAN loves you, he'd ask you out in clear terms. Would you choose the person you love over the person who loves you? Its not adequate that a woman loves a man, she must be sure that the man loves her and the only way is by expressing it in words. Ask the lady to be yours!

Till he is bold enough, i'm sorry, he is still a boy and probably will never be MAN enough if you take him as a boy

Re: My friend and my feelings.... by forkadict(m): 5:16pm On Sep 26, 2011
Some of you advise the OP to ask him out.

Others advise the OP not to ask him out.

Thank God I'm not the OP otherwise i would have been more confused after coming on NL.

Thanks for sharing your experience. There is nothing wrong in making a mistake, no one is perfect. Having a matured discussion is different from asking out. At least the issue is not sitting on your throat again, you have moved on, he didn't take advantage of you becos there was friendship first so there is a little loyalty & trust amongst you 2. You are still alive, that is the most impt thing.

I see!!!
Make sure her ego has no come back and is totally crushed ehn
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, a man has a type that is beautiful to him and no girl is Ugly.
Women do not have an in built rejection mechanism unlike men, who donot internalise things for years once he [s]sees another opeke and oturugbeke he is healed[/s] but a woman will swallow it and it will affect most of her relationship till she becomes mentally tough and begin to build her self esteem again.
So if Op is sure she will not suffer deeply from the rejection then, her call,

Re: My friend and my feelings.... by lolaluv1(f): 11:47pm On Sep 27, 2011
@all

Thanks to you all. I have seen different advise from you all and I have decided to borrow some things from most of them. . . .
Some of you are of the school that I ask him out.
The others said I should not.
A third say I should use feminine wiles on him.
A fourth have gone on to tell me that he is probably not into my looks and personalty.

This is my decision.

I won't ask him out outrightly. Not because it is not a good idea (thanx, Sexkillz and co) but because he might belong to the school of thought who don't think it's proper for a lady to ask out a man. Like I said, he's really spiritual. He might be one of those who prefer to do the 'finding' than being 'found'.

What I will however do, is to use my feminine wiles on him (not seduction o). As in, I'll show him I have vested interest in him as a potential mate. . . I'll put the red light in full glare, so to say and we'll see how that goes.

In doing this, if successful, he asks me out and we're both happy. If all fails, then I rest my case and I move on. I have tried!!

To those who insinuated my being ugly as being the case he has refused to ask me out, I beg to differ. Not to sound too cocky, I think I look okay and not just friends but also strangers (males/females) have complimented me on it.

I'm however willing to accept that I may not be his type. Which is possible cause everybody has a preference!


What is your take on this, my dear NLs??
Re: My friend and my feelings.... by Nobody: 11:53pm On Sep 27, 2011
