A friend liked a girl so much but ended up saying “I think it will be better if  we will be friends for now.”  I remember asking the girl one time on the development of their “love affair” since I know both of them like one another. She said he wanted to remain friends for the moment.  I was surprised and disappointed when she told me this but yesterday, it became clear to me.  My friend told me, he told her that it will be better if they remain as friends for it seemed like the girl was not over her first boyfriend whom she had a four year relationship.  Well at first it was just a hunch for him.  He said the girl would mention the other guy a lot when they’re together.  But when she cried when she learned that the guy already have a new girl friend that was the time that he was able to confirm that hunch.  Tsk, tsk,tsk…  He’s sad and so I told him, “You did the right thing.  Giving her time to think things through will be healthier for you and her and for the relationship if you decide to go through with it in the future.  It’s not a good idea to go through with the relationship if one of you is not sure about your feelings and one of you has a doubt about the feelings of the other.  So, it will be better to put things on hold for the moment and continue once things are clear.”
