Probably, each of us has ever wondered: is there friendship between a man and a woman? Many will say no. In any case, one of the two is sympathetic. And then friendship either develops into love, or breaks up completely. But still, if there is no attraction to each other, can this be considered friendship? Can a guy and a girl be friends?

When we first bring a child into Kindergarten, he makes friends regardless of gender. Children do not pay attention to this, it does not matter to them who to be friends with: boys or girls. But after a while, when the children become adults, the gender of the friend matters more. Why? What is changing?

The fact is that each person perceives the concept of "friendship" differently. For some, friendship is about having fun together. For someone - to be near and in joy, and in sorrow. And for someone - to share secrets and secrets. But can't a girl and a guy communicate, help each other in difficult moment and share secrets?

The difficulty of such a friendship is that it can develop into something more. If you often spend time together, it is possible that he or she may begin to have more serious feelings for the other. And it is always a great difficulty to admit it, and then confess to a friend. And if this did happen, you fell in love with your girlfriend, what should you do?

Step 1. Admit to yourself.

How many years have you been friends with her? From the school bench? Since university? And everything was great. You watched football together, discussed her guys, got advice on how to behave with girls. She always supported in difficult times, and you, too. No obligations, hence no quarrels. We talked for pleasure.

And here's a "gift of fate" for you. Suddenly, her eyes began to haunt you, all thoughts are only about her, and how could you not notice her beauty before? And what a soft, kind character. But at the same time, she can stand up for herself, and if necessary, for you, so strong, but at the same time gentle. Every minute at home, at work, you think about her. In dreams you have long seen only her. I would like to spend more time together.

And what is the strangest thing, jealousy wakes up. Every one of her new guy like a bone in your throat. I want to track him down and beat the crap out. But she is unlikely to understand such a gesture. And all that remains for you is to silently listen to her story about the new chosen one. And also to listen to ridicule why you haven’t had a girlfriend for a long time.

At this point you involuntarily begin to wonder if I have fallen ill for an hour. What's happening. He used to be an avid womanizer, but now even the coolest beauty in the bar turns back. And the image of the best friend always pops up in my head. Why?

Well, young man, it's time for you to admit to yourself that you fell in love. What you feel for your girlfriend now is very different from what you used to be. This is no longer just a friendship. Analyze your behavior. Have you ever complimented your girlfriend, and then suddenly they started? This is not easy.

It's time to realize that long time spent together, common interests, her attractiveness, and the fact that she is a woman - played a role. And you are completely and irrevocably in love.

Step 2. Decide what you want.

You understood and accepted that you are in love with your best friend. What to do now? It's up to you to decide. First, understand what you want from her? Can you overcome the still weak feeling and remain friends? Do you just want to stop talking? Or maybe you love her so much that you're willing to sacrifice your friendship to be with her. You want to build a relationship with her, and possibly start a family in the future.

Of course, it will be difficult to overcome love. Do you see each other every evening, often spend time together, and maybe also work nearby? Like it or not, spending time together and hiding your feelings will become increasingly difficult. If you leave everything as it was, over time, the feeling will not subside, it will only intensify.

And how to be? In this case, the second option will suit you. You will have to stop or significantly cut your communication. No wonder people say: "Out of sight, out of mind." Time heals, and if as few things as possible remind you of her, over time the feelings will fade. Perhaps if you live nearby, you will need to move.

After a while, work and other things will push thoughts about it out of your head. Maybe you should get a girlfriend. Then all your attention will switch to her, and if you manage to awaken feelings for her, they will extinguish feelings for best friend.

But what if you don't want to lose your girlfriend? What if you don't want to end the conversation? What if you want to try and fight for her heart?

Step 3. Let her know how you feel.

What time to win a beautiful lady. Do not rush to confessions. First you need to kind of hint to her that you are not indifferent to her. How to do it?

First, you need to find out if she has a boyfriend at the moment. Surely, if there is, she would have already told you about it. And then you will already know what she feels for him. If this is just another fling, he's not a hindrance to you. But if she has deep feelings for him, then showing sympathy on your part will only annoy her. You will only have to wait. But don't try to ruin their relationship. It will only alienate her from you.

If she doesn't have a boyfriend, start acting. You must be careful. As they say: "Our life consists of little things." So you have to take into account every little thing. For example, start bringing her her favorite coffee in the morning. In the evenings, meet her after work, making the excuse that it's already late. If she goes to the gym or yoga. Start walking with her. Surround her with warmth and care. Instead of caustic jokes, make fun of her in a cute and non-rude way.

Give gifts sometimes. But not expensive jewelry and flowers. And something insignificant, small, but so significant for her. It can be a new book by a favorite author, a ticket to a concert of a favorite band, a backpack that she has long wanted.

For the coming weekend, invite her to go out of town to nature. Have a picnic. Try to be as close as possible to her, but do not go beyond the bounds of decency. Most likely, she will see a change in your behavior, and will begin to guess, but will drive away this thought from herself. You must do all this in a non-intrusive way so that she cannot confidently say that you love her. Let it be lost in conjecture.

You must be able to leave on time. In no case should you call 100 times, drop in every day to her house. Know how to show your feelings in moderation. She should miss you, not be glad that you are finally gone.

Be sure, she will imbue you. Most likely, such closeness in a relationship will involuntarily arouse her sympathy too. And when he stops looking at you as a friend, you can make a confession.

Step 4. Confess your love.

The time has come when there is no longer any reason to wait. You've done your best and it looks like you've succeeded. She often calls first, asks to come. Looks at you differently. Haven't met anyone for a long time. And now, the day of recognition has come. But what is the best way to do this?

There are a huge number of ways to confess to a girl in love. It will be even easier for you to choose one of them, because you know your girlfriend from head to toe. You know what she likes, her character. Character must be taken into account, because if one way is suitable for a romantic, sweet girl, then for a quick-tempered girl with character, it is completely different.

So, if your girlfriend is a rather soft, romantic person who lives in a fairy tale, and sometimes looks at the world through rose-colored glasses, you can confess your love to her in the following ways.

Method number 1. Tell her a story.

Surely your friend loves fairy tales. What is her favorite? Cinderella? Or Alice in Wonderland? It can be a themed dinner, outdoors, with a rabbit and a hatter. Or a luxurious evening, like Cinderella's ball.

It all depends on your imagination. Leave her on the pillow Nice dress, shoes and invitation. Send a car for her. Meet her at the entrance to the restaurant nice suit. Spend a magical evening with her, and confess your feelings at the right time. The girl will come to an indescribable delight, she will remember this fairy tale for the rest of her life. And he will tell you yes.

Method number 2. Give her an unforgettable, exciting ride on horseback.

If she can't skate, teach her. Be her mentor. During the walk, you will stop by a beautiful clearing, where there will be champagne and fruits on the bed. In such a wonderful, quiet atmosphere, away from prying eyes and ears, you can confess your feelings to her. And hope she reciprocates.

If your girlfriend is more mature, another way will suit you.

Method number 3. This method is more down to earth.

But also very romantic. While she's at work, arrange at her house romantic dinner, arrange candles around the apartment, buy roses. Cook or order her favorite dishes at the restaurant. Confess your love to her at home, in a quiet, calm environment. Where it will be just you and her.
If your girlfriend is still a child at heart, this method is for you.

Method number 4. Take your girlfriend to the amusement park.

Let her take the soul on the scariest slides. Buy her ice cream or cotton candy. Have fun, and at the end, invite you to the Ferris wheel. And there, in silence, in a booth where there are only two of you, confess your feelings.

Maybe your friend is crazy about chocolate? Many girls love chocolate. Then this method is for you.

Method number 5. Invite your friend to the chocolate workshop.

Such establishments often hold a master class on making chocolates and other chocolate products. Together, under the strict guidance of professionals, you can make your own chocolate heart. And then, at the end of the procedure, sit down at a table in a cozy corner and eat your work of art. There you confess your love to her.

One of the most charming and original ways surprise the girl next.

Method number 6. Have a date on the rooftop.

Bring your girlfriend to the house. Blindfold her. Gently lead her to the roof, and untie her eyes. What she sees depends on your imagination. She can see a lovely little table with fruit and champagne, and lots of little glowing lanterns.

It is better to arrange a date in the evening, because in the dark everything will look much more spectacular. There must be a blanket on the roof, because the later the hour, the more likely it is that your lady may freeze. This cannot be allowed. A declaration of love will be very useful in such a wonderful place.

If your girlfriend is not shy, loves extreme sports, then another way will suit you.

Method number 7. Give her a real extreme day.

It can be paragliding, kayaking, rock climbing, jumping from a pipe or bridge, and much more. The main thing is to overcome fears together. This day will forever remain in the memory of both her and you. And at the end of this crazy day, you will definitely get hungry. Over a delicious dinner and a glass of cold wine, you can finally confess your love to your girlfriend.

Step 5. Accept the answer with dignity.

Of course, after so many surprises, and such attention from you, the girl will answer you “yes”. Perhaps she herself has been experiencing something similar for you for some time. And you both will have a chance to build a relationship, try to be not only friends. After all, it’s not for nothing that they say: Best relationship starts with friendship.

But another outcome is also possible. If the girl still refuses you. There is always a possibility that even if you are a great person, handsome man, but you don’t cause sexual attraction in her. You just need to come to terms with it and let it go. Of course, such friendship as it was, you will no longer have. But you have to be able to deal with rejection with grace. Do not be angry with your friend, but try to understand, accept and forgive.

Most importantly, believe that your love and your happiness are waiting for you ahead. Everyone deserves happiness, not only you, but also your girlfriend. And if she is your destiny, she will return, and in the end you will be together.

Relations between people is a rather shaky topic that has many sides. Understanding the peculiarities of the thoughts and feelings of another person is often very difficult. Even if you know a person as well as practically yourself, it happens that his behavior is very surprising. This is exactly what happens when a friend suddenly confesses his love. What to do in such a situation? How to behave correctly? Today on the pages of "Popular about Health" we will try to help the guys and answer the question of what to answer if the girl confessed her love, and she is only a friend.

The declaration of love of a person whom you sincerely consider your friend can greatly unsettle, shock and even frighten. And the guy to whom the girl revealed her feelings is experiencing ambiguous emotions. You can’t just refuse a girl, because she will be offended. And I don’t want to offend friends at all, as well as lose friendly relations. A soft refusal or evasion can be a signal that she has a chance. What to do? Is it possible to save friendship or at least normal relationship after such a confession?

What psychologists say?

Feelings that flared up between friends are a rather difficult situation. Although, in principle, in love it is rarely when everything is very simple. The guy sincerely considers the girl just a friend, he is interested and comfortable with her, he can be open in front of her. And then it turns out that she actually loves him for a long time. Of course, this situation is shocking. After all, the guy never looked at the girl as a potential partner in a relationship. And he was one hundred percent satisfied with the situation of friendship.

Of course, a declaration of love completely changes the picture. Past and familiar relationships become impossible. Even if both try to pretend that nothing happened, and there was no such conversation, it will only be self-deception. And as a result, spoken words of love will and will continue to surface between former friends.

The guy has to admit that it is necessary to build a completely new relationship with the girl. In any case, they will need one more conversation in order to be able to explain themselves and put all the points over the “and”. Only in the case of an open and frank conversation can friendship be maintained.

But at the same time, in parallel, many girls ask whether it is worth confessing to a boyfriend-friend about their feelings if they suddenly arise. Psychologists assure that it is necessary to do this only if you are confident in the sincerity and great strength of your love. After all, such a feeling will in any case corrode you from the inside, interfere with getting to know other young people. Even if you are sure that friendship can be destroyed from your confession, it is worth making it in order to open yourself to a new one.

What should a guy do?

If a girl suddenly confessed her love, you first need to take a break. Regardless of what you think about this, try to pull yourself together and tell her or write in a message that you really appreciate her and respect her feelings, but you can’t talk to her about them yet. You just need time to sort yourself out.

Carefully and honestly analyze in front of you how much the feelings that you have for a girl are precisely friendship. Perhaps you yourself have already thought about the possibility of a relationship more than once, and the recognition of a girl will be great news for you. But in such a situation, you would hardly read this article.

But even if you always thought of a girl as a friend, and then suddenly you were dumbfounded by her confession, think, maybe this is your chance. Imagine that you are in a relationship. What are you experiencing? The range of feelings can be very different, ranging from bewilderment and even disgust and ending with joy and happiness.

Focus on what your heart tells you. If there is even the slightest chance that you will be fine together as a couple, you should not refuse it. Anyway, if a girl confesses her love to you, the previous relationship between you, most likely, will no longer exist. So why not try to build love? In addition, this is evidenced by the fact that this girl knows everything about you, she knows how to be a friend, to be honest and faithful. And you know everything about her that she loves and hates. Most likely, you have a common company, and you will be able to spend time with friends without problems after starting a relationship.

But if any thought of the possibility of a love affair with this girl makes you dumbfounded, shocked and rejected, try to convey your point of view to her. Speak directly so that the girl doesn’t get the idea that you still allow a relationship, and she has a chance. But at the same time, choose your words, because you do not set yourself the goal of hurting her and causing hatred.

Tell her that you like her only as a friend. You value her and her opinion, love to spend time with her, but only as a friend. You cannot respond to her feelings with more intimacy than you do now. And you definitely don't want to try to build a relationship.

Of course, it may well be that after such words the girl will simply disappear from your life. But you have to be honest with her and with yourself.

In principle, friendship can be maintained if the two of you have such a desire. Of course, for the first time after the forced refusal, you will feel awkward at meetings. But try to move towards each other and kill such discomfort. Keep correspondence, practice meetings (at least short ones). And everything will get better with time, the girl will understand that she is important to you and will accept the impossibility of further development of love relationships.

Probably, each of us has ever wondered: is there friendship between a man and a woman? Many will say no. In any case, one of the two is sympathetic. And then friendship either develops into love, or breaks up completely. But still, if there is no attraction to each other, can this be considered friendship? Can a guy and a girl be friends?

How to confess to a girl in love

It happens that we have a friend with whom we have already passed more than one year and have experienced a lot. Such a friend, to some extent, even a girlfriend, in which you are not shy about anything and tell everything. He often says that he loves you, and you take it for granted, because friendship is also a kind of love. Moreover, he is such an old comrade that you don’t even think about something more. And then the day comes when an old friend starts the topic of love, and you realize that something is wrong here. And, in the end, he admits that he loves you and this love is not friendly at all. This is where the question arises of what to do if an old friend confessed that he loves you.

In this case, it is necessary to behave correctly and correctly. Of course, it is difficult to immediately orient yourself and decide what to do if an old friend confesses that he loves you.

Firstly, if a guy confessed to you such feelings, he did a great feat. The fact is that such confessions can destroy your friendship, and he knew what he was risking. And it was not easy for him, because for some reason he was silent for so long. Therefore, what cannot be done if a friend confesses his love is to laugh at him. I think no one will joke like that with a loved one and you should not ask him something like: this is a joke, are you kidding? Such statements can be very hurtful. young man. In fact, it turns out that you are laughing at the feelings that he confessed. Remember that this is your old friend who has helped you more than once, so you should treat him with respect. Of course, at this moment you are in shock and you can behave inappropriately. If this happens, immediately apologize and ask for his forgiveness. You mustn't make a world catastrophe out of his confession. But it shouldn't be taken lightly either. It is important for you to maintain your relationship. So, for starters, ask him how long he loves you and how he realized that feelings are not at all friendly. I think he will gladly answer this question, because he wants to talk. And you, in turn, will understand whether this is really love, or a fleeting love that arose for one reason or another. From what kind of feelings he has, you will start off, deciding what to do next.

If a young man is just in love, which arose on the basis of some events related to you, then tell him that, most likely, he slightly mixed up his feelings. So you are suggesting that you wait a bit so that you can understand if this is really love, and then decide everything. In the case when this is not a long-term love, the guy will quickly burn out, and you can be friends, as before.

But if you see that he loves you with all his heart and loves you for a long time, then you need to use a different tactic. First, you need to decide what feelings you experience yourself. After all, you can be friends with a person, simply believing that there can be no other relationship, but at the same time you will like him. In such a situation, there is nothing to be afraid of. Even if you think you can't be a couple, it's still worth a try. Perhaps you are wrong, because you have been able to be friends for so many years. And friendship is, in fact, the same love, but without sexual overtones. Therefore, try not to chop off your shoulder and check your feelings. Even if nothing works out, you can become friends again, because such a strong relationship is unlikely to break something. In any case, it is better to regret what you have done than what you have not done. This folk wisdom has been confirmed by more than one couple in love. So take this advice into account.

Well, what should you do if you don’t like your friend as a man, although you value him, and you can’t live without him, but rather, as without a brother, rather than as without a boyfriend. In this case, immediately clearly and clearly explain your position to him and do not give hope for anything. If you say something vague, like "time will tell", your friend will take it as a guide to action and will continue to insist on his love. Therefore, immediately explain to him that he is very dear to you as a brother and does not cause another feeling and will never cause it. If he begs you for a chance to prove that he is your destiny, refuse. Otherwise, the young man will start moving mountains, spending money and still not achieve results. As a result, he will happily get angry at you, he will be disappointed in his feelings. You don't want your loved one to suffer. Therefore, make sure that he survives the pain once, and does not suffer because of it for many years.

If you have a boyfriend and a friend begins to slander him because of jealousy, calmly but confidently tell him that although you understand everything, you will not allow bad things to be said about your loved one. Therefore, if he does not stop, then you simply quarrel. Also, immediately decide how to get through this period easier. It may be better for you and your friend not to see each other for a while. If he thinks so, calmly accept his decision. Of course, it will be difficult for you without loved one and you will quickly start to miss him. But if he decided so, then your presence now hurts him, and you don’t want it the least. So agree with him and just say that you will always wait for his call, because your friendship means too much to you.

If the guy says that he will still be there, and you will be friends, then get ready for the fact that for some time he will look with envy and jealousy at your boyfriend or the men who will look after you. Also, most likely, he will often be upset, frowning and angry. Try to support him, but do not show pity and do not behave ambiguously. A young man must clearly understand that you will never change your mind, no matter how dear he is to you. And over time, his feelings will gradually fade away, because there is no eternal unrequited love. And then you will be able to be friends again as before and even, perhaps, laugh at this situation. In the meantime, you just need to gain strength, wait and believe that real friendship will be able to overcome such tests.
