What the hell... I'm old, but I still remember what it was like to be a young woman in college... sometimes in love, sometimes drunk, but always confused about my own feelings.
I had boyfriends and I had friends who were male. Frankly, I enjoyed my time with the latter more and it always confused the hell out of me. The boyfriends got the ol' hormones going in a way the male friends generally didn't, but they were often jerks. The friends, on the other hand, were people I could relax with more than I could with the boyfriends. In retrospect, I could relax because the sex issue wan't there. Nothing to prove.
Eventually, I found a friend who, for watever reasons, sent my hormones racing. We would talk for hours about anything and everything (but not sex) and I would go to bed horny as hell. It took a while, but we eventually moved from friends to lovers. That was 25 years and 3 kids ago. We're still together, we still talk about everything, and the sex is great.
The question is: are you that one guy for her -- the one that combines the companionship, the friendship, and the spark? If so, don't give up. Boyfriends pass; friends are forever. True friends who become lovers can be forever too.
