How to continue to be friends after failing to express love? This is a headache for many people. After all, you have expressed your feelings to the other person, but the other person does not feel the same way. But even if you can't be lovers, you can still remain good friends. Here are some suggestions.
1. Give each other some time
When you confess your love to the other person and are rejected, you may feel embarrassed and sad. At this time, it is very important to give each other some time to calm down. Don't contact the person right away or try to force the relationship to remain friends. Wait until both parties have calmed down before considering how to handle it.
2. Don’t blame the other person
Even if you feel hurt, don’t blame the other person. Remember, everyone has their own feelings and choices. If you blame the other person, it will only make him/her feel more embarrassed and embarrassed. Instead, respect the other person’s decision and show understanding.
3. Maintain a moderate distance
After your confession is rejected, you need to maintain a moderate distance. This doesn't mean you can't meet or communicate anymore, but you should avoid overly intimate or ambiguous behavior. If you have some mutual friends, you might also consider asking them to lighten the mood at the occasion.
4. Don’t give up friendship
Even if you can’t be lovers, don’t give up friendship. After all, you were once good friends and shared a lot of good times. If you can maintain a good relationship as friends, these memories will be even more precious.
5. Find new topics and activities
If you feel that communicating with the other party has become awkward or boring , you can find new topics and activities to enrich your communication. For example, go to the movies together, participate in sports games or travel, etc. This will not only increase your understanding of each other, but also allow you to get along more easily and happily.
6. Be sincere and candid
Finally, being sincere and candid is the key to maintaining a good friendship. If you have any concerns or confusion, you should express them directly to the other party. This avoids misunderstandings and unnecessary guessing, while also increasing trust between each other.
Even if you can't be lovers, you can still maintain a good relationship as friends. As long as you can respect each other's feelings and choices, and remain sincere and candid, your friendship will be deeper and more valuable.
