She claimed that she had value beyond just being a girlfriend and thought she could be a great friend, too.
Regardless, even though he realizes that the girl is probably right, he simply isn’t interested in being just her friend.
“When I’m romantically interested in somebody and can’t have that, of course, I don’t want what I can’t have dangled in front of me,” he reasoned.
However, the girl didn’t understand his perspective and accused him of being unfair. Still, he thinks that he is making the logical decision by turning her friendship down.
“I like her, but I can’t be with her. So logically, distancing myself so I’m not constantly reminded of what I can’t have is best,” he vented.
Nonetheless, with the girl now upset with him, he’s been left wondering whether refusing to be her friend after she rejected him romantically makes him a real jerk or not.
Can you understand why he doesn’t want to be just friends with someone he has a crush on? Or do you think he is being unfair? How would you have handled this situation?
