Botellines 0 #1 November 12, 2003 I translated this text from a comedy show in Spain, At this moment i am going thru an experiencie where i am the best friend of a cute girl who insist on telling me how handsome ALL my friends and wether they have girlfriends. To make a long story short, i will say I am the David of the story. I just wanted to know how many of you are or have been in this situation. It is still funny to read. She loves you as a friend Until now i thought that the worst thing a woman could say was: "We need to talk..." No, the worst thing a woman can say is: "I love you too... but as a friend" That means to her that you are the nicest guy in the whole world, the most supportive guy, the coolest, but she is not going to go out with you. She is going to go out with a jerk that only wants to have sex with her. But, of course, when he messes around with her, she will call you to ask for advice. It is like if you go job hunting and someone tells you: “Mr Garcia, you are the perfect person for this position, you have gotten the best CV, etc. But we are not hiring you. We are hiring instead an incompetent worthless guy. But… can we call you when he messes up? I wonder, what did i do wrong? We went to the movies, we laughed together, we spent hours drinking coffe…. Which coffe was the one that turns us out into friends? Fith? Sixth? Man, she could have told me!!! One less and now we would be sleeping together? To them a friend follows the same rules that a Tampax. You can go swiming with it, ride a horse, dance. The only thing you cannot do is have sex with it. If you think about it… if for a woman taking you as a friend is about ruining your sexual life, what will she do with her enemies?. I think it is great that we are friends, don´t take me wrong, I just don´t understand why we cannot have sex as friends… I believe that friendship beetwen man and woman, does not exist. If it did, we would know it. The thing is that when she sais that she loves you only as a friend, to her it means just that. But to you, it means that if you are ever a night on the beach, she is very drunk, there is full moon, the planets are aligned, and a meteor threatens earth, maybe, just maybe, you will end up making out with her. That is why you put up with it. If she goes out with Joe… well, they will break up at some point. And when they do break up, there you are… Don´t cry, Joe was an idiot. You deserve something better, a guy that understand you, that he is there when you need it…maybe a bit short, not too handsome, whose name is David…. Like me. At least being a friend allows you to eliminate opponents quite easily. This is the “miserable worm” technique. When she says…. - How nice is Bob, isn´t he? - Bob? Yeah, he is… a bit cross-eyed though - He is not cross-eyed, he just have this tender looks - You are right with that. I notice it when he was looking at Maria - He wasn´t looking at her, she was looking at me! - See? I told you he was cross-eyed! It is ironic the women consider having a “superspecial” relationship with a guy when they can sleep in the same bed withoput anything happening… To me, “Superspecial” would be if something actually happened!!! One day after a party, you help her finish cleaning, as you always do. When you are done, she sais: - It is so late… why don´t you stay over? - Where should i sleep? - In my bed. Your legs are shaking. This is THE night, the planets have aligned!!!! In short time, you realice it is not the planets what you have aligned. Since you are friends she is going to sleep with only her underwear. Then you think: “man I will have to sleep on my underwear as well” with all my planets aligned!!!! So you jump into bed, bend your knees so your are not that noticeable. She gets in bed, press her butt against you, and sais: “good night” And she falls asleep!!! Come on, how can se sleep that soon, doesn´t she pray or anything like that? You are sleeping with the girl you like. At first you don´t dare to move, so you will not touch anything. You know you are the horniest guy on earth. And how long the night is. You start to wonder… Would it be too bad to touch her breast with my shoulder? What about if it is her breast that touches me? But after many hours you only ask yourself: How can i be such an idiot? No one could believe you are in the same bed and nothing is going to happen You hope that at any moment she is going to turn around and say: “come on silly, you have suffered enough… Take me. But no. Women never think that you have suffer enough. And indeed you do suffer. Because you have all the blood acumulated in the same part of your body. You could blow up from that!!!! But humilliation does not stop there. At 7:00 am the door bell rings. - Hey, It is Bob! - Bob? I though you had broken up? - It is a long story… and i am in a hurry. I forgot to tell you that he was going to bring his dog, because since we are going out of town, I told him that you could take care of his dog. And when Bob comes in, he sais to you. - Are you his friend? You don´t look good, didn´t you sleep well? So at the end, you stay with the dog who truly is man´s best friend.

samhussey 0 #2 November 12, 2003 Yeah, there was a girl at college who treated me like that. It sucked big time, but a few years on I can see I'm probably better off... probably... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonto 1 #3 November 12, 2003 No, I have friends, and sometimes that's good enough. Really good friends are ex lovers though - because then you've been through all the bullshit together.

Ron 10 #4 November 12, 2003 How about when you date her for 10 mths....Then she tells you she loves you.....as a friend? That fucking sucks. Going through this right now....And the sex stops.

turtlespeed 226 #5 November 12, 2003 Or when the relationship starts off as friends and then as you are getting dates and other female companionship, she starts showing signs of jealousy. Then the friendship suffers too. It's a no win situation.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyMan 7 #8 November 12, 2003 I've been the David, but I stood up for myself, told her how I felt, and moved on. I think other "David's" should stand up for themselves, too. People can only be doormats if they lie down and let people walk all over them. It's a choice, make your decision. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Lee03 0 #10 November 12, 2003 Yeah, it's a no win situation. Been there, there now. love someone and they only love you as a friend. They're your best friend, and your thankful for that, still do things together. You'll do anything to be with her, do anything for her, but know that your feelings of love will never be returned in the same way that you give them. You hope, pray that God will touch her heart and cause a change in her and she will fall in love with you, you cling, desperatly, and in all likeilhood in vain, to the hope that she will one day change and love you as you love her. But what can you do? It is said, "love hurts" and yes, that is true, but you hang on none the less, hoping that one day it will be different. I feel for you brother, know what your going through. You can't do without her, you remain best friends because you love her and accept any kind of relationship that you can have with her, anything that she can give you, because you cannot live with out her in your life in some way. You want her to be happy, even if it means you will be unhappy, why, because you love her, she is all that matters to you. Sonetime the pain is like a knife run through your heart, but you remain, you love her. What can you do, nothing, except accept whatever she can give you and continue to hope and pray that she will one day change and fall in love with you. Your there for her, ready to help her, ready to do anything for her, ready to pick her up when she is down, share her triumps, Try to take away her pain when she hurts. support her, do whatever you can for her. You remain, hoping, beyond hope that one day she will see the true love that you have for her and realize that this is the kind of love that she wants and needs, that has been missing in her life, and that has been there for her all along, that she will accept and return that love too you. You can always hope pray and dream brother. I feel for you, know what your going through, may God bless you and work it out for you and she.-------- To put your life in danger from time to time ... breeds a saneness in dealing with day-to-day trivialities. --Nevil Shute, Slide Rule Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eeneR 3 #11 November 12, 2003 QuoteI think people should just be up front on the status right away.... It is an unfortunate thing, but there are some people who dont understand the meaning of true love, understand their own feelings, or let alone take into considerations of the feelings of others. But as it has been said in this thread we all make choices that allow us to be walked on. Actions speak louder then words....."I love you" can only hold so much water if the actions do not follow....that is where the heart must listen to the mind.....She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turtlespeed 226 #17 November 12, 2003 Actualy, the role is all reversed now. She calls me and tells me how stupid it was that she didn't see it and that she's lost w/o me. I have moved on. I still consider her a friend, but the aspirations of becoming her lover have long since past.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colintri 0 #18 November 12, 2003 Yep, I'm there. It's strange when I've been dating in the past few weeks, she (my friend) starts to hang out more with me, trying to make more time to be with me.

jumper03 0 #19 November 12, 2003 QuoteIt is a two way street, guys can do it to women to.... I have never heard of this situation happening. Either a man who did it or a woman it happened to. True, I don't know everyone in the world, so if you know of this, then it's a first. (yes I said first) On the other hand, I've been david on so many occasions it's pathetic. I'm almost convinced now that if you want to get intimate with a woman you have to act like a jackass and treat her like trash. No wonder I sleep alone.

eeneR 3 #20 November 12, 2003 QuoteI have never heard of this situation happening My post was more towards the misleading of hearts.....not so much the your just a freind thing with no intimacy. QuoteI'm almost convinced now that if you want to get intimate with a woman you have to act like a jackass and treat her like trash. Please dont do that, there are quite a few good women out there that deserved to be treated with respect and love......doing that is what makes most women so bitter and mean... I have to keep reminding myself that I dont want to become that way no matter how hard my heart is broken....She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will never treat a woman like that - hence my statement "no wonder I always sleep alone" It still blows my mind though how this happens time and time and time again with women I KNOW are intelligent, KNOW what they want and KNOW they deserve better but still take home the jack ass.
