TIP: Go from being a friend to lover with this dating guide.

If the girl of your dreams refuses to emerge from your dreams and in reality all she wants is to be friends with you, what do you do? The following tips may help you when she expresses her desire to be just friends with you.

Lighten up the mood

The moment she reveals her desire to remain as friends, don't overreact or get emotional. Try to say something that will lighten up the mood.

Do not view this as rejection

Being just friends does not in any way imply that she has rejected you. It was you who developed feelings of love towards her, while all the while she saw you as a friend and nothing more than that. Moreover, she intends to continue the relationship the way; it always was, so there is no question of rejection or denial. Look at it this way: So what if she has denied herself the privilege of having me as her boyfriend; she considers me worthy enough to be her best friend.
 
Maturity

Maturity is one quality a woman seeks in man. The woman in question could be your friend or your lover. If she wants to remain only your friend even after you have expressed your desire to be something more than just friends, instead of feeling victimized, show some maturity and respect her decision.

If there is a certain level of understanding and appreciation in terms of communication, commitment and approach to life etc., then there is no harm in continuing this friendship.

Optimistic outlook

Remember that there are lots of other ‘fish in the pond. Not every girl you approach is going to be interested in just being friends with you. So look around and maybe you will spot a girl of your choice sooner than you think!

There are several instances where guys have been deeply hurt or disappointed when they confront such a situation. If the relationship between the two becomes awkward, it will be a sensible move to part as friends rather than remain just friends.
