When someone says let’s just be friends, what runs through your mind at that graceless moment when you've poured out your heart to someone only to realize that they don’t feel the same way about you?

...That moment when all you get in return is “how about we just be friends?” Does it hurt? Yea, I know!
I have been there a lot of times, it hurts when it comes to someone you truly have genuine feelings for, and especially when you’ve been led to believe that they fancy you too.

But how should we react in the #Just_friends_zone?

••• PRETTY MUCH BE FRIENDS:
If someone tells you they just want to be friends, then be friends!! After all if your feelings are sincere you will be glad they offered their hand in friendship, and you will look to build a stronger bond and understanding with the given opportunity.

••• KEEP YOUR BOUNDARIES:
Friendship is what they are offering so do not try and give what they haven’t asked for. Try not to express emotions with hugs, holding hands, etc. Do things only friends do, not lovers! Stay friends with boundaries.

••• DO NOT HATE:
Cutting off communication and growing 'a despise' for them only confirms that your motives were wrong all along. Call when you can, say hello when you meet at the store or on social networks, be open to friendship, but try not to bring up your feelings in the conversation, just SOAK IT UP!

••• THERE ARE MANY FISHES:
I know the shock of a ‘turn-down’ can be a painful one, but hey buddy! It could also be a massive blessing for you. There is always someone out there who will reciprocate and appreciate your affections, so why worry?

••• CHANGE COURSE:
There’s no use trying to ask someone out over and over again after they said they just want to be friends. Most of the time we try to win the heart of someone who doesn’t want to be won, so much that we pay no attention to some other person waiting at the corner begging for our attention. We look too far that we can’t see what’s laying patiently on our laps.

For how long will you keep trying to convince someone of your affections? Isn’t it supposed to be a natural exchange of love?

Why not move on!! Stay friends, BUT set sails!

STAY IN GOD’S GRACE!
