"Just Friends..."

When a couple break up, what follows is a period of sheer loneliness, depression and
helplessness. People tell themselves that maybe this relationship wasn't meant to be,
maybe theirs someone else out their for them.

But what if the break is mutual and happily agreed upon by both members. What happens
then...??? Do we continue to be in touch, still care and be what people call "just
friends", or do we strike out that person from our life ones and for all ???

I have a friend who use to have a crush on a guy but couldn't "nurture" the relation
because he never looked at her "that" way. Now, she tries to avoid him and yet not to
be rude, they talk occasionally and are "just friends". In today's busy times, when we
are bound to run into someone we desperately want to avoid, what strategy should we
go for. To be open to that person (and risking another emotional disaster) or cut
him/her out of our lives in one strike.
And so in the end, one couldn't help but wonder:
Do we really need "open-ness" to have closure...???

hmmm.... The thing is.. after they break their relation on mutual compromise and come to conclusion that, they can be "juss friends"... its not possible...
After that.. if they start chattin or talkin... watever the other person says... the other starts picking the mistake in that... then gradually they start to bicker... then one day... they wil end up the relation in a wrong way.. by taking out their anger, frustration.. etc etc..
So I believe... its better to strike off the person and move on with life.. this s juss my perception... need not be everyones...

nice thinking u have ......

I would just tell that if u had loved the person really u cant be friends..
Coz i have gone through the same.....We had a breakoff then decided to be friends but wasnt working we use to meet regularly and was the same as we where couples......After few days when some1 enters in her or urs life u get very jealous and just cant see the person u loved with other person....(Sounds childish but its true ..i am 24 a matured in my thinking )
The best way is to take off the person compeletly from ur life ....So that u and also she will be happy...I know at intial stage it would be diffcult...But thats the only thing that works
