Could (or should) you stay in a relationship with someone you love if they were only interested in friendship, but you were interested in being that person's significant one?

No

ive been there but it always turns out if worked out for the best for me..

I don't think so. If you want a real relationship, and all he/she wants is friendship, I don't think it'll work out.

You probably shouldnt

I think that friendship can lead to possible relationships.
Dont give up. Take it day by day.

Yes, because maybe if that other persone get to know you more their feelings will change into wanting to be in a relationship with you.

Ouch. Sounds way too painful.

Yes i could. Its sometimes more important to just have that person in your life in whatever way possible.

Friendship.. what good is it doing you being with someone who most likely isn't going to love you mutually in return.. (assuming the relationship has been going on for a decent period of time). Friendship is all it may really be, once one gets over the infactuation that's not fulfillment, happiness, a relationship filled undying love, contentment for that matter, etc. Either friendship only is possible, or the 2 go separate ways. It can grow either way.. to a great friendship or a match made in heaven (hopefully).

definitely not

I'd say yes. I have a friend that I'd like to be with, but I'm not going to destroy the friendship over it. I'd rather have her in my ife as a friend than not at all.

I agree

no...definately not! I met a guy last summer and I enjoyed spending time with him as friends. He wanted more...it ended up just being akward when we were together. I dont recommend it!

Not a good thing. Because you might miss someone great because you will always be waiting for that person to change his or her mind. Oh, you won't realize that is what you are doing, but it will happen. At the worst, you will try to manipulate situations to get that person to turn to you instead of someone else. And the resentment will grow when that person has a different significant other.

It depends how important the friendship is to u. Just because the person doesnt feel exactly the way u do isnt his or her fault. And if u respect the person enough than u will still want to be their friend. It might be hard but u have to weigh the options urself and see what u think u should do.

It's heart ache waiting to happen.

Don't do it man!

probaly not

I could never do it. But if you think you can, good luck.
