I have the best friend in the entire world!! We've never been accepted as just friends as everyone thinks that a lad and a girl can't be this close without something else going on! He's always there for me when I need him and he always protects me! So what is the problem your probably thinking?

Well he's amazing but he thinks we can be friends forever but I don't have the same optimism! He says that he will make sure he never loses me and that we will be together till we die! I don't think this will happen even though I would like it to. I don't want him to get hurt if we do get split up!

Do people think I'm being silly and that we will be friends for our whole lives? But if you think that it will ever last then do you have any ideas on how could get him to see sense and to stop him from being so upset?

Please help!

Live life for today, you can't fortell the future and you can not live in it or you will miss out on the fun of today.

First of all a guy and a girl can be life long friends. I have MANY guy friends that have been there since the beginning and I know will be there until the end.

When talking about being "friends forever" your friend is right when he says he'll never lose you. If you don't agree then at least when he says something like that say "I hope so" or "That's what I want to"

If you are as close as you say nothing and no one will ever take away your friendship. You may move away from each other, you may start hanging with differnet crowds, you may not talk as offten as you do now but you will still be friends. Things will change they always do but I know (and I'm sure you do too) that even if I don't talk to my best guy friend, I know that if I was on the other side of the world and I was in trouble I could call him and he would comfort me if nothing else and I would do the same for him.

Your friend probably has never had such a goodfriend like you and he probably thinks tyelling you and himself that will actually keep things like that, but only you and him can work together to stay in that friendship for as long as you guys would like. Honestly I say don't focus on what is going to happen, just live today and the next and see how things go, because who knows mabey you and him will fall apaprt or in many years you and him will still be visiting each other and talking like you do now. Don't sweat it, just be thankful that he's a good person and a reliable one too.
