How Do Women Differentiate Between Friendships And Romance by neowelsh(m): 8:18pm On Mar 31, 2008
For women, friendships and romantic
relationships are two separate things. They are
NOT the same.

One can lead to another, but it's RARE when it
happens.

Remember that.

One CAN lead to another, but it's RARE.

"Romantic" relationships are very different
from "friend" relationships.

While most men would sleep with most of their
female "friends" if the woman "came on" to them,
most women would NOT sleep with most men that they
consider "just friends".

But why is this?

How do women differentiate between "just
friends" and "I'll be intimate with you"?

And why is it so hard to become "more than
friends" with a woman you've been "just friends"
with for a long time?

The answer to this riddle is very interesting
to me.

I believe that the answer comes down to
understanding HOW women "know" when they want to
"be intimate" with a man, and, even MORE
importantly, understanding how women "know" when
they DON'T want to "be intimate" with a man,

The thing that tells a woman whether the guy
she's with is "friend" material or "lover"
material is how she FEELS.

It's a combination of EMOTIONAL feelings and
PHYSICAL feelings.

It is NOT logic.

She might USE logic to "rationalize" her
decision, or she might USE logic to SOUND like
she has a good reason for either "being with" or
"not being with" a particular guy.

But don't let that distract you.

Logic isn't important AT ALL in this context.

So let me say this another way.

A woman FEELS something emotionally and/or
physically, then she uses those FEELINGS as the
basis for her "decisions" and actions with a
particular guy.

If she feels that "Ewwww Yuck!" feeling, then
her "logical" conclusion will probably not be that
she wants to date the guy in question.

If she feels that "It's Gettin' Hot In Here"
feeling, then her "logical" conclusion will
probably be that this guy is interesting and
attractive, and a good "choice" to date. At this
point she'll take ACTION on her feelings and
thoughts,

to be continue,
lots of hugs

Yes, it is fact that lot of women do not tell the difference between Platonic Friendship and Romance relationship. Both are different meaning!

The same principle about everyone on both gender still cannot tell the difference between LOVE vs. LUST!
