This is a
misnomer. The
phrase should really be, "
Let's become friends."
It's a
process. One that should be taken
together, not alone. The
person offering the phrase, though, wants the process to be an instantaneous
change.
Well, I got news for you: It's not. You can't expect me to re-evaluate all my
feelings,
thoughts,
memories at one instant assuming
the stature of a friend.
Just because it would be
convenient for
you if I suddenly dropped off your dating list (
so you can date others, maybe?) doesn't mean that it's going to happen. Sure, you've been thinking about it for a long time, maybe even weeks, and
I even noticed some changes in you, but you have to
allow me the same amount of
time (if not longer).
Don't assume that since you've gone through the process that I don't need to.
And maybe next time you will discuss your feelings and intentions as you have them, when you have them, instead of waiting until you decided
you wanted a change in our relationship.
