If a man realizes there is no chance of getting sex, will he drop the friendship?
Let's say a guy and a girl are friends for years and they are close, too. It is a fun friendship that consists of lots of laugh, fun and the ability to be totally stupid and silly around each other. Let's say the guy has a girlfriend and the girl is single.
After a number of years, he realizes that she is not the type of girl to have sex with a taken man and that he will never in fact, be able to boink her.
He then becomes distant and doesn't talk to her as much.
I want to know from the male perspective:
-Did the man become distant because he felt the friendship didn't mean anything to him?
-Does this mean that the guy didn't actually enjoy her personality, the memories, the laughs?
-How is it possible for a man to be so close to a girl/enjoy the friendship and then be so quick to drop her once he realizes there's no sex coming out of the girl?
