Don't feel for you that way

Among friends, they say, there are no secrets. One could even give one's life for one's friend. That implies a lot of care and (platonic) love. Talking in terms of a girl and a guy - when one of them says that you are a very dear friend of mine, but I don't feel for you that way, what is it that they find missing.

What is that element of mystique in love and lovers, that they are so ambiguous about? Do they not know or don't want to say that what is it. Is love and care not enough to be lovers? Which is that 'that way'?

Were they talking implicitly about sex? That they don't feel sexually attracted to them. Oops, what did I say? I din't mean it "that way".

  3. Couldn't it be that you feel love, and then make love, instead of feeling that way (sexually) and then falling into love. If not, what is the sham of pure love, the ambiguities, reserved sexualities and the deceptions all about?
