Are we just friends? Why do we act the way we do then?

Question - (8 April 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 9 April 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hi. I met a guy online about 4 months ago. We chatted and finally met in person. Since then we email each other everyday, the whole day, text everyday when one or the other is out of the country, when he comes into town (he lives faraway) we always meet up for dinner, movies etc. One day, out of the blue, this in the beginning, he emails and says we are just friends. I had never told him I liked him and I replied as much. Since then we keep emailing, texting etc everyday and when we meet he always looks me deep in the eyes etc. When we sit together we basically stuck together, in the streets no-one can get through us we are that close together etc. I really like this guy but I'm not sure where he stands. Do you think its only friendship on his part? Any words of wisdom are most welcome. Thank you.

AuntyEm agony auntHmm his words say 'friends' but his actions say 'more than friends'.

Maybe he's scared that yoou will reject him, so to save his dissapointment, he's declared you 'just friends' maybe to test your reaction or maybe because he wants to make sure you keep touch.

I would continue dating him when you can and get to know him a little better. Keep things light and friendly, be warm and open. He lives far from you so building a relationship(even a friendly one) will take a little longer. If he is still being attentive in a few months then lay your cards on the table and ask him if he would like to take things further. Who knows, maybe things will naturally happen between you. Try not to over think the situation and just enjoy his company until the magic goes deeper.

Good luck
