really? Somehow I have a gender stereotype here and didn't think guys used the 'let's be friends' line. Ouch. You know, if I had romantic feelings for someone I wouldn't be able to be just friends, because it would be painful and seeing them would re-activate my feelings. Somehow I keep holding out the idea that such a thing is possible. Wait, I do have a couple male friends that started as dates. They weren't gaga head-over-heels for me though, and they're both now involved with other women. They're pretty good friends. I also had one who no matter what I said kept flirting and hinting and making it uncomfortable for me and the whole relationship just felt like a power struggle between what I wanted and what he wanted, and eventually I dropped him. And another who dropped me like a stone when I said I wanted to be friends (and ironically we had been just friends for years before trying to date). It is tricky when you want different things.
