A reader, anonymous, writes (18 September 2006):

Maybe this is just the male perspective, but in my experience this is her way of putting you on the back burner - keeping you around in case nothing better comes along. If she truly wants to be friends with you she'll still feel that way if you take time away and start dating on your own. If she gets jealous and/or snippy about your dating - bingo, she's NOT trying to be your friend. If she is understanding and encouraging (like a friend should be) you're lucky.

She wants to end the relationship but can't face losing you from her life altogether. You have to decide whether it will be too hard to stay friends with her, having only a platonic relationship after being romantically involved.

From past experience I've found that 'staying often wants more, although it can work some time down the line after you've both had time apart.

I think you will need to put some distance between yourselves to allow you to get over each other, then consider being friends once you've both moved on.

it means exactly what it sounds like it means. that she wants to still be very close to you, just in a friendship kind of way. she obviously really cares a lot about you, and wants to be there for you, just not in a relationship sense. now it's up to you to decide if you can handle that or not. if you can, then that's great.
