Do you find it hard to say this after the date with someone?
Do you bother or just never talk to them unless they talk to you?


I tell them that they are a great person but I don't see us being more than friends........glasses glasses glasses

I'll be honest I've never told a girl this after dating her. I usually tell them this if I wouldn't fathom dating her.

I don't mind when women try to hit me with LJBF ("Let's Just Be Friends") when it's a GOOD TIMING. What I mean by that is let's say we chat and flirt for a month, then meet and go out on two dates, but no sparks really happen and she's not feeling it, so she hits me with LJBF and honestly tells me she's not feeling it, I'll accept it and respect her for her honesty, as well as be friends with her.

However, if said woman and I went out for several months, and were physically intimate with one another several times (making out and/or sex), then I wouldn't be so ready to accept the sudden LJBF. I'd more honestly tell her I felt more for her than "just friends" and can't do it...thus cutting ties and moving on.

Had one girl do that to me two years ago. Was all over me since the first date then after several months she hit me with LJBF because she wanted to try dating her best guy friend. I politely turned her down, wished them luck, and cut ties. She just exploded on me in anger, like I stabbed her in the back or something. Yeesh. noway


I also won't be friends with a female though if she's planning on making me her constant crying blanket. :wink:

Thanks for the thougth out response, but if a girl wants to be my friend and they did not hurt me I would welcome it. I love women's company more than that of men.

I would never use that phrase since it has become almost a negative idea..."let's just be friends"...but certainly the same point is made, in other words.
At times, that's the most you can feel with someone and being a friend is a great thing!


Often, I've found I can be just as intimate with real friends, which probably would be misread by at least one person here. I define intimacy like a friend does, "In to me see", not to be confused with "intimate encounter".
