thanx for your attention. ive been friends with a woman for a long time, we email each other once a month or so, but she never contacts me out of the blue, only replying to my emails, though they are alwas thoughtful ones. we live 2 hours apart and are both very busy with careers. i want a relationship with her but dont want to try for it at the expense of a friendship that i value a lot. might she be receptive to a relationship with me even though she's mostly taken a backseat to my lead in our friendship?
thanx so much
Obviously, at this time, the woman likes the relationship just the way that it is. If you want to take it to another level, you might try, with the understanding that it might not work out the way that you want. You can't have it both ways. You need to decide whether you want to take that risk. Good luck!
If she's always been this way, perhaps she is just being herself. Some people are awful at keeping contact. If she's started being like this, chances are she is losing interest in the relationship and trying to persue a deeper one would not work out.
There have been a lot of posts like this one lately.
For those of you in committed relationships, did any of those begin with long periods of friendship? If so, how did you make the leap?
How about the "risk" involved. Has anyone actually made a move and have it result in the friendship being over?
I think sharing this might help some people.
Thanks so much.
