This is a good one. I've seen your case happen a bunch of times; my friend's current girlfriend had the exact same situation happen to her with this guy she knew; but he was 36 and she was 19, so that made it a little weird.I really think even this situation can turn into 2 people still remaining friends; I think it depends on the person who has romantic feelings keeping them in check (that is if he's really interested in keeping this person in his life). Some poeple just don't get it though and will constantly persue; if this was the case then you were smart for switching departments. You probably weren't meant to be friends in the first place. I've even had relationships or crushes that wound up turning into friendships, so it is possible. It depends on who you're dealing with. I understand that some of my female friends that I think are hot don't return the favor, and I can accept that. They're too important in my life for me to lose them though. I know it's tough too since you need to know a person for a while to know what they're really about and I can't tell you how to live, but I wouldn't say just give up on having male friends, because not every man's the same. It is possible, and I've got a bunch of examples to back me up
