Just think the card would clear it up quickly without giving her time to get too excited. then meet her in person.
If worded right... it would give per peace of mind more quickly rather than crushing her a second time by letting her get her hopes up again?

Lets hear some other womens views on this one!!!




thanks...yawn no woman in her right mind would agree with you---screw the flowers-just go over there and confront her with it all-THEN take her out to dinner/lunch....rolling eyes

Hmmmm, I like the idea of flowers, not roses, something cheerful and springy. Maybe just keep the note short and sweet, somthing like, sorry I snapped, had a bad day, I'm an arse, friends? Then give her a couple days, if she doesn't call, call her. Then take total blame for the incident, cause you were something of an ass, even if you were justified in how you felt at the time.

You may never get back to exactly like it was before, but if you're honest with each other, it could be even better. Or not. But do try to give her some dignity back, if you're really good friends.

dunno Just my .02, as a woman.

I agree, He even said he lost it and was an ass.
which is right. no reason to loose it like this with a friend.
as Described in my first post here... should have just sat her down and calmly and nicely explained it all to her.
But that alone can be enough to ruin a friendship if she truly had her heart set on being more.

been there,, done it.
lost my best friend of almost 8 years because I didnt want more.
thats just how it goes sometimes.
but yea... IT SUCKS!

Maybe deep down it was her that was into you and was testing the waters by turning it around on you and when you made it clear that you were just not into her she took offence and is now embarrassed and feeling rejectedsigh

Yeah I think you screwed up too. The last thing someone wants to hear is that you have no attraction to them what so ever. I think if you approached her and told her how important the friendship is and that you value that over something that may or may not last that she would appreciate that view point, although it may be a little late for that having said what you did. But you can always claim stupidity and tell her you just wigged out and that while she is very attractive your friendship means so much more then anything else you could share.

For 5 years she eaten at my house 5-7 times per month. She has been friends with 3 of my GF's. So haveing her over for d&m was nothing other than ordinary.
I hadn't called her on the comments because I feared things would get weird. But now I see that as a mistake.

You may be right, who knows.



As hard as some of the responses may have been to your situation...I would like to commend you for at least seeing that you made a mistake and caring enough about your friend to want to rectify it..That takes compassion and guts!!!!!!!!!


hug cheers comfort

I have to ask,
Have you ever had relations with her?

But if a best friend as you say.. I can't imagine loosing it like that with her. you could have just sat her down and explain exactly how you see her, and that you would appreciate it if she could just keep it as friends.

but I think you have deeply hurt her, she was clearly hoping for more and you blew her away.

Would be a great time to send her some flowers with a card telling everything about how you see the relationship. and In writing, it gives you the time and space to articulate what you say and how you say it,

write out how you feel on a seperate piece of paper first,, final draft in the card.

Just make it clear that you value her as a friend.


No we never got together that way.

I didn't handle it very well. I think because I had been keeping my mouth shut about it and it just built up. I said what I did before I knew what had happend. I feel like a total a** for it.

A few years back we took a trip to louisville, ky. We shared a room at a bed and breakfast. One nite while there we went out to a bar called steve rays. Upon returning to the room that nite she made a comment that let me know she was willing if I was interested. I rolled over and went to sleep. The next morning we headed back and never spoke of it again. I should have handled this long ago I guess.

A big mistake we all tend to make in many situations is to hold back until the pressure causes us to explode. Then we hurt the ones we have tried to avoid hurting worse than if we had handled it sooner.
