The Bloggers With The Most To Say

Have you ever found yourself in a relationship with blurry boundaries? (Such as lovers turned friends and friends turned lovers?) I blogged about a friendship that has recently taken a turn for hazier waters, and I imagine that I'm not the only 20-something dealing with this. If you have too, how did you handle it? I'm down for any advice you guys have at this point, because things have certainly gotten quite blurry!

The last person I was involved with had blurry lines..hence why I just say "person involved with" and not boyfriend or something.  I would try and unblur the lines as soon as possible.  We started out as friends and then it turned into more than that.  For me it definitely wasn't a relationship, I didn't call him my boyrfriend, but he was hoping for more to come out of it.  I got interested in someone else and that was pretty much it, we stayed friends for a while but he now has a new girlfriend and I haven't talked to him in a month. 

Good luck!

Just got through something that was pretty close to getting blurry. Things have been solved now, but it was a little tough for a while there.

I was in a relationship like that for a while. We were great friends, but terrible lovers. Our break up was nasty, and now we don't speak to one another. There isn't a day that goes by that I wish we could have stayed just friends. I miss him, and I think it's dumb that we had to mess it up. :(

My advice would be to weigh the pros and cons SERIOUSLY before you pursue anything more than friends. Both of you. Good luck!

yeah, I'm in one at the moment, kinda like an extended one night stand turned friends? it's because Im moving cities and we both decided at the start that it'll end when I move.

ah i was just in something like that. i can't wait to see him when i head back and visit boston.
that'll be interesting...  mayeb some hi-how-are-you-long-time-no-see-no-strings-attached catching up?

From what I've experienced, honesty is the key. You have to be not only honest with the other person but with yourself. Very long story short, I got into a blurry relationship that could have been cleared up with a lot less heartache if both of us had been open and honest about what we were doing. By not laying it out, we assumed a lot, and that was one of the last nails in the coffin. 

 

I know it's not anything great or wise, but it's the best I have to offer.
