That's up to the guy, but realistically speaking I cant see how he could. Especially if he is not able to share as well as express his feelings with this individual. I believe it takes a special kind of love to endure a "relationship" with this person.
Maybe you can handle the torment....I don't know ------goodluck.
Well, it would be better for a man to stop being close to that girl if after expressing the feelings to her she was just steady and still getting the opportunity to get something from the guy, better leave her. I know someone, it took more than a year before the guy knew that it cant be possible to have her as his GF knowing from the past that he had a chance because of the sweet acts of that girl, meaning if she meant it too bad but if not it is sad for the guy because one must know immediately if someone has a feelings for you and you should have imply the message if you really wanted to be friend with that person. He deserves to know it so if that is the case, better close the topic and set your feelings free.
If it pains you to not have her as your gf or if you get jealous or annoyed to see her with another guy. Then it would probably be best if you left, not at all once just slowly start to do other things. You can still be friends if thats what you want, but remember she already said she wants to be firends so it wouldnt hurt for you to try to find a new girl while maintaing your frienship.
The funny thing about life is that when you have something you don't want it, but when its gone you miss it. You never know she might come looking for you and ready to try something out.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
