There is an opinion that there is no friendship between a man and a woman. And if people of the opposite sex communicate, it means that they have already had something or will definitely have something. This is partly true. And if you don't want to lose your friend, you have to put in some effort.
Instructions
Step 1
If you began to look at your friend as a future lover, think about whether you really want a relationship with him. Remember why you are communicating and what you value in someone you know. Very often friends are forgiven for many qualities that are simply unacceptable in a partner. For example, you cheerfully light up all night, then go home and do not meet for a week. You do not see how a friend suffers from a hangover, and what a terrible mood he has the next day. And when you are together, all negative qualities will be in sight. And the positive ones - sociability, a sense of humor and originality - can get tired in the end. After all, these are not the personality traits that are most valuable in building a serious relationship.
Step 2
Think about the loss of ease of communication. Serious relationships are a big burden. Partners should take care of each other, call each other, find out how things are. Should help solve problems. You will have to let a stranger into your life and actively participate in his life. Decide if you are ready for this. Perhaps companionship two or three times a week is the best option.
Step 3
You are aware of your friend's relationship with girls. See if everything about them suits you. And are you willing to let him interact with ex. And, most likely, it will happen. If there is a friendship between you, then why should a young man, when you move on to a closer relationship, stop seeing other members of the opposite sex? If this is unacceptable for you, then it is better to remain just friends.
Step 4
Very rarely, after a breakup, friendly relations remain between partners. Finding a new young man is not very difficult, but finding a reliable friend is not an easy task. Therefore, before trying to build a relationship with an old acquaintance, think about whether you are ready to lose friendship? After all, it is not at all a fact that love will come in its place. And the old trust will definitely never be.
