Lol. I really don't understand why guys worry about the "friendship trap."
I tell you in my case and I am sure a lot of guys can relate. When I became friends with my wife it was with the goal of dating her. Now for obvious reason our motives are different. I guess I kind of fear that end up as friends and we start talking about life and she starts to tell me about how great her new boyfriend is. Can you imagine??!! LOL.

Those are the phases as I understand them. I think I am in the process of reducing negative emotions. I think the friendship aspect has been damaged severely but she still comes to me for certain things. That has to be a positive sign. Romance in my case will be extremely difficult since we have the distance. There will be no dating or very limited dating. I can't fly to OK every weekend for dinner and a movie
