This type of friendship could be good if the person who ';more than likes'; the other respects the other's wishes and never attempts to cross the boundaries the other has set.





This type of friendship could be bad if the person who ';more than likes'; the other continues to do so to the exclusion of others. In other words, the friendship could be bad for the more serious person, if it hinders him from seeking the companionship of someone who would love him romantically.





The challenge in such a friendship is to strike a delicate balance and manage to keep it there. Not an easy feat. But not impossible.What are the reasons as to WHY or WHY NOT a friendship like this would work out?
It would be good for the person who likes the other just as a friend, but it would be really hard for the person who likes their friend as more than a friend. It's a pretty hard question and if this relates to you I would suggest you sort out what you actually feel and if it is not much, it does not need to spoil what you have got as friends. If it is strong, you need to tell them. If you are the person who likes the other just as a friend, let them sort it out, but try not to let it spoil your friendship, because it must have taken a lot of courage to tell you.
