Hmm, if he doesn't even listen then the relationship is on a very low level. It depends how much you value the connection with him in order to rescue it and to gain his attention. I think there could be a way.
Has she not asked him yet? So, there is not much trust between them. Has she at least cleared with him if he is only a good friend or if he wants to be her boyfriend?
When he looks at other women, I agree with what Johnny has said. It depends how is looking at them. If he only takes short glances this is certainly nothing serious.
Elsewise, if also his short glances at women take over, then there must be something missing on your friend what he seems to desire. But, then she shouldn't care.
Once one has found one's love there should be no fear to talk about everything with each other. Also with a good friend it is nice if there is a basis of trust in one another.
A strange feeling comes up as soon as one of both are not honest enough to keep up the relationship.
The highest attraction is gained when a person stays his/her own self.
Like Wallops, I think that if love lies between both right in the beginning all efforts are worth it, and in this case when it is felt on both sides everything is easy. Then work is like playing on a trumpet or skipping rope.
I wanted to add that a relationship is not to be seen as something to be posessed by anyone. It is a state of the facts which have to be considered by both.
Hi Free! Yes, marriage is work! Like everything in life, even if you plan a wonderful holiday in the Caribbean Islands..
trying hard to make a person happy doesn't work out. Either that person is happy with you or not. We often make things more complicated than they are. We must view a relationship the way it really is and not in a way it 'should' be.
I hate about my boss that he is always changing plans on top of our heads, without considering what we think! Next will come that we will have to give up all our sparetime for his sake..
Hestia, ask him if he is still missing you when he stated that he would miss you after all.. Then he should be courageous enough to explain to you what he intends. If not, then there is really no other way to leave him aside..
