I've been a little suspicious for the last few weeks that my gf had lost interest in me. But she's a really nice girl, so she wouldn't tell me soemthing I wouldn't want to hear. So i confronted her about it a couple of nights ago, and then last night I asked if she'd thought about it. Ultimately she said that she had lost interest in me and the way she felt about me wasn't the same as the way I felt about her. So we talked about it for about an hour last night, in the parking lot after a football game and everyone had left. It was nice. And I told her that I really don't want things to become awkward between us, and we talked about how we'd follow up with this. Since I am the one that still likes her (she seems very understanding that it'll take me some time), she made it clear that she still wants to be friends with me. I mean, her two best friends are my good friends too.
We really weren't very physical at all in our relationship, anyway. Would it be unrealistic for us to be close friends now? Not just "okay-with-each-other-friends-after-the-breakup," but really good friends. She felt like that was a good idea, and I didn't even bring it up. She is okay with letting me get over her while still being close friends.
The only problem with the good friends thing is, I don't want to fall for her again or something. I mean, i already still feel happy to see her face, it's that type of thing, but I hope that goes away AND I can still have a great friendship with a great person.
What do you guys think of the friends after break up thing? Remember, it's kind of noteworthy that we werent very physical at all while we went out, she was really shy and new to the whole thing. So it really wouldn't even be that different to just be friends...is that a red flag or something? I think it'd be okay.
