Best Friend stopped being friend what should I do!?
I had been best friend with this guy named Jared for a good year now,He lives in a different state from me. then all of sudden he takes me, my girlfriend and my room mate off of his MySpace friends list. I begin to think OK that is strange so I called him many many times, unfortunately he only had his friends answer the phone for him, who I might say were all pricks to me. He block me from his AIM. So one day finally get talk to him and he say he does not want be my friend anymore because he do not believe in ghosts. ( It is s omething I am very interested in) He say I am insane for believe in ghost and that he believe ghost can only be seen after death, and that I should not believe they be seen otherwise. So I tell him why should we not be friends because of ghosts? I call again and again he not talk to me one bit. Even on my birthday last week he refuse to speak to me. What should I do?
Should I stop being friends with him if I still have feelings?
Are you strong enough to handle the friendship, despite the negative things that might arise, due to your unrequited love?Pain of rejection? Jealousy?Is this friend so important and irreplaceable, or you are just sub-conciously just using this label “friend” to be close to this person?It’s not a bad thing per se, unless it backfires and you get hurt in the end. Just be honest with yourself, nothing more and nothing less.Keep in mind also that just having feelings for somebody will never hurt you, only your own expectations will.In all frankness, it’s a very thin line to walk. I tried it once and the mental pressure can be hard to deal with.Using rationality to keep yourself grounded from doing something that feels very natural, such as dreaming and fantasizing about this person. Stopping yourself from making plans for the future, how you would do things together, in a very different way than you are doing now. More intimate and deeper developments that you must be craving for, that are bottled up inside you.Your imagination is creating the expectations, nobody else.On the other hand, this person could be totally unaware of your feelings and both of you could end up being hurt, for different reasons.Reflect all of these questions in front of the mirror. Be completely honest, ask yourself the hard questions, before making a decison.You might also find bravery in yourself to confess how you really feel to this person. Which could be the best option, in a way.If they don’t feel the same (this is also a potential scenario), the worst thing that can happen is you get your response. Maybe they don’t want you like you want them.Then, after some time passes, you’ll be able to move on.Only then, somebody else that will feel the same for you as you for them, can land in your orbit.That’s wouldn’t be such a bad thing, I would say.As you’d get to keep your friend and have a more suitable partner in another person.
Should I stop the friendship?
I have a college friend that I have been great friends with, and there has always been a love interest. His name is Charlie. We were a little more than friends, we did not get far enough as to sleeping with each other. Many feelings were left unsaid about how we really felt for each other. I got married. AND HAPPILY married. I still keep contact with my Charlie, Strictly FRIENDS and NOTHING MORE. However, the other day he brought up a conversation based upon what happened between us. He apparently still has feelings for me. I must admit that I do have feelings for him, BUT not strong enough to leave my husband. It's a love connection that is in the past that it should be left at that. He wants to pursue us. I told him that I am Happily married, and that I am not the cheating type, and If things did happen i would not be fair to my husband. NOr would I be fair to him. I know I did the right thing. Now I'm wondering if I should stop the friendship?

dude stop being a Clown and be more assertive. YOu scared to talk to girls your friend is not and girls notice that. I waas in the same situation for a little and my buddy was jsut like just say whatever half the time girls just want you to make them laugh. ITs not difficult to talk to a girl. I bet yoru friend is quick wiht good 1 liners to make them laugh, become witty some peopel are. If your then all you have to do is go up to a girl and talk to them. And you have to stop thinking abotu this as a "status" or that type of guy thing. i think you have trouble talkin to girls good luck and stop FEARING REJECTIOn everyone gets rejected even the most popular.
When do I know when I should stop being friends with someone?
My general rule of thumb: friends are supposed to make you feel good. In every friendship, particularly in close friendships, there will be arguments and you will hurt one another. What makes a friendship worth hanging onto is that, most of the time, you both feel happy and content with your relationship. One or two arguments or upsets does not warrant the end of a friendship, particularly a long-standing one, but if they become so frequent that you feel exhausted or upset nearly every time you get home after spending time with that person, it's time to end things. I can't tell you what to do in your specific situation, but I will share my two cents. It sounds to me as though you've already made up your mind about your friendship with Bob. He has hurt you and people you care for on numerous occasions, and the language you've used to speak about him make it clear to me that you don't want to continue this relationship. If you're merely looking for someone to tell you that it's okay to end this relationship, then let me say this: it's okay to end your relationship with Bob, even if doing so may hurt him.Now, your relationship with Luke seems a little more complex, because although you've indicated that you are friends, it seems as though all your grievances are on a more professional plane, rather than personal. If that's the case, you can stay friends with this person if you want to, but I would recommend against continually engaging with him on professional projects. Again, it's not my place to tell you how to live your life, but I suspect you have an answer you're hoping to hear, so it's probably best to simply follow your gut. If you feel validated by any of the answers you've received here, do what was indicated there.Most importantly, surround yourself with people who you genuinely enjoy spending time with. Cut those other people out of your life, if possible.
Is it okay to stop being friends with someone because of their political opinion?
This question reminds me of this old joke:Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!"He said, "Nobody loves me."I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.To me, to end an existing friendship solely based a difference of political opinion is both foolish and unwise.I would like to point out in this so-called hyper-partisan time that (within the extremely large main stream of political thought) I as a liberal and a democrat have far more agreement with a conservative and a republican than I have disagreement.We both want what is best for this country. We both believe in the American political system. We both believe in the rule of the law. We both believe in the Constitution.I think, if you were to look at your friend, you too would find you agree more than you disagree.Secondly, I think I am right. For me to forsake a friendship over political opinion is to also forsake influence.Here is an example.My friend, Gary, did not like black people in general. “Those people” he would say and trot out some stereotype or another.But, he did like individual black people. Marvin was his co-worker, hunting sidekick, fishing buddy, bowling teammate, and card partner. Marvin was black.I suppose you could have labelled him a racist. I did not.When President Obama first ran for the presidency, Gary was initially upset with “those people” taking over.On the golf course one day in late summer, I said gently, “I know you think of Obama as ‘those people,’ but I think you should think of him as Marvin.”He voted for Obama twice.And Trump.Win some, lose some..
Should a woman stop being friends with a guy if she finds out he likes her?
He never was your friend to begin with, even though you probably don't want to believe that. I know I didn't want to believe that when I first was told that my guy friends really wanted to be more than friends with me, even though not a single one of them ever crossed the line or even gave me an indication that they were interested. In other words, what I'm saying is you're not in a friendship now and you never were, so the question is mute. A friendship takes two people MUTUALLY wanting the same thing. What you have is a platonic relationship with a guy who wants you as a sexual partner and he is sizing you up and waiting for the right opportunity to make his move (or he's waiting for you to make a move because he's too scared to do so). He will likely never just see you as a friend if he is sexually attracted to you. He's being charming, nice, attentive and spending time with you because he is hoping to get into your pants. I know, it sucks to have this realization, but it's better for you to know the truth. I didn't learn this until age 30. Hopefully you're not as naive as I was. Best wishes to you~
