Guys please answer Male friend Vs boyfriend

Okay,so this is for guys.
Say you had a close female friend who has been single for a long time and one day out of the blue she tells you that she is now romantically involved with someone. How would you react?
Is falling off the radar and cutting contact with her completely a normal response?

Re: Guys please answer Male friend Vs boyfriend

The concept of “friend” is very noticeably different in East as compared to West. The “wana frandshap” slogan was introduced when the guyz wana “ask out” ladies in East. So if I’m not wrong, there a friend is kinda someone who is either you are romantically involved with or has a potential to get involved with.

Now in west its entirely different. A friend is a friend who is definitely not supposed to get romantically involved with. Hence, the term “friendzoned”. He is the person you can share things with, hangout with, and discuss pretty much everything yet he wont make a move on you.
So yea if I’m a friend with some girl and she announces she is into someone and getting hitched, I would be like yaay, where is the party, bring it on etc etc

Now for example, Kausar and Amjad were “friends” with the proof below.. now if Kausar gets hooked with someone else, I can totally understand poor Amjad getting devastated..

Good things happen when you open ‘Guyz only’ thread. Try Ladies only now and it’ll be opposite :wink:

Re: Guys please answer Male friend Vs boyfriend

Re: Guys please answer Male friend Vs boyfriend

Yes a totally normal response.

Re: Guys please answer Male friend Vs boyfriend

Well, a decline will naturally take place when the girl becomes romantically involved with a guy. She will be sooo into her boyfriend/fiance…that more of her time and energy will be devoted to him (unfortunately) than to her other friends (both male and female). I’ve even seen girls talk less and less with their female friends once they get romantically involved with someone.

If the male friend falls off the radar and stops talking to her to the point that he’s actually making an active effort to avoid/ignore her…then that isn’t such a normal response…and I’d question if maybe he had feelings for this girl.

Other than that, some guys might choose to keep at least some distance with a girl after she becomes involved or “hitched”…so that nobody gets any wrong ideas and just to keep it less complicated, I guess.

But generally speaking…I don’t believe guys and girls can be strictly friends. Sure, there are exceptions. But generally…no. One of them or both of them might develop feelings at some point and it just makes a mess. Even when exes ask whether they can continue a friendship after a breakup…doesn’t make sense. They dynamics were never of a purely platonic friendship in the first place.

Re: Guys please answer Male friend Vs boyfriend

@redvelvet Thank you. Finally,one sensible reply. I should have asked the girls pehley hi.

Anyway, I feel sad at the way he’s acting.He’s such a nice friend. We used to talk about anything and everything even discussed his potential rishtas. I even tried setting him up with a girl and he always encouraged me to get remarried and now that I have found someone he’s always unavailable. :(((

Re: Guys please answer Male friend Vs boyfriend

I remember your other thread where you were hesitant about romantic relationships. I’m so happy you found someone Xaos :flowers:.
Do you think, just in case your male friend didn’t have romantic feelings for you and only saw you as a close friend, he is feeling like he isn’t getting the attention he used to get from you before you met someone? Sometimes people become possessive of their friends and now he’s feeling like the third wheel. If he’s really a good friend of yours, give him time to get used to this new scenario where he isn’t the main guy in your life anymore and eventually he’ll come around.

Re: Guys please answer Male friend Vs boyfriend

Is it really possible for a guy and girl to just be friends? Somebody’s gonna want more.

Re: Guys please answer Male friend Vs boyfriend

If u don’t find her desirable than it’s ok

Re: Guys please answer Male friend Vs boyfriend

Hey Hey wait, what? What about all replies above RV’s. Admit it, those were the most sensible ones :hoonh:
