Hmm,
Where do we start from,
The phrase let us be friends used instead of no . Mostly used when love is professed..
The major victim are the male gender .
But!
It goes both ways, as ladies do get rejected and friend zoned too ..
Please, do not be pressured to become friends with some you “love”.
If you can’t get what you want , as a Christian I was taught to pray about it.
Listen to your inner spirit .Do not linger around leaves 🍃 if you want the flower 🌸.

Do not open yourself to such hurt and expectations.
Help yourself move on 🦋✨.
