Guys, If you lose romantic interest in a woman and she loses romantic interest in you ...?

Question

would you still want to remain friends if you enjoy each others company?

Answer 1

we could still have anal s*x

Answer 2

Yeah I guess, I mean who cares? I don't see why women often seem so concerned with such things.

Answer 3

Romantic interest! What a phrase! However, I've understood what you want to say. The word "romantic" should be replaced by "sexual". Actually there's no general answer to your question. All I can offer is a single item of my personal experience. At the age of 16, I was sexually involved with a woman two years older than myself. After a lot of s*x we naturally lost sexual interest in each other (it became boring). We parted through mutual discussion. I suggested that we still could be friends. But she was dead against it. So...

Answer 4

Oops, sorry not a guy, but out of all the guys I "seriously" and "long term" dated, which is about 3, I was only able to remain friends with 1 of them, but it took a few months of not talking before that ever happened.   It's been 10 years since then and we still catch up with each other at least once a month, and no doubt, we will be at each others weddings!

Answer 5

Can't see why not. It's good to have female friends you don't think about jumping into bed with all the time.

Answer 6

It is possible. Depends - how much was it all 'romanticly' based.

Answer 7

No.

Answer 8

I'd want to remain on good terms, but I doubt I would have much interest in spending much time with her.

Guys don't (generally) want to remain "just friends" with ex-girlfriends unless it's a FWB type of agreement. When we get a new GF, the friendship is doomed anyway, so why maintain close contact?

Answer 9

Sure, as long as I'm still single.  After marriage, anything more than occasional enjoyment of her company would probably land me in trouble.
