I know WHY you say that, but I don't necessarily think you should mistrust or attribute dishonesty to a person who says something like that. Why does someone "really go for/ fall in love with" another person? Chemistry? We really do not understand the whole process by any means. BUT, it is very true that sometimes you meet someone and you like them, you are perfectly willing to be friends, but "IT" just isn't "THERE" and you would just as soon not develop a relationship, i.e. "We're good friends but . . " I have been on the receiving end of that many times, and it is VERY hard to take, but this does not mean the other person is being cruel, or dishonest. I realized that the first time I had someone more interested in me than I was in her, and suddenly found MYSELF having to say, "I like you but . . ." It really opened my eyes and changed my perception of the whole event. I couldn't think of any other way to really describe what it was either. So, if you have never been "on the other side", I can only reiterate -- it really does happen that way. -larry
