Confusing feelings for a friend... It's like I want to hug him forever, but I have no interest in going out with him!

Hi, I have a real big problem. I don't know what's happening!

Two years ago I got put into a maths group with people I barely knew. I sat next to a girl and two boys. Let's call one of them boys Bob.

I started talking to them and Bob was really annoying so I wrote a note to the other boy about him. Bob read the note. He went in a mood with me and started to talk the other girl. I got a jealous and saw that he really was a nice guy.

A couple of months after that we were good friends and I wanted it to stay that way, so I started calling him my names like Bro and Cuz. I did this so he wouldn't ask me out like all the other boys I get close to.

We started bonding and now we are really close. I mean close. I can't explain it. I've never felt this way about anyone. I don't fancy him at all but I love him and I want to hug him and never let go, but never go out with him. It's hard to explain but I have never felt this way before ever. I'm also starting to see another side to him - a unique one - it's hard to explain.

Sorry I haven't really explained this well but I have no idea what's happening. Please help.

What do you mean by "make things how they were?"

What is more important - what other people think, what Bob thinks, or what you think?

Maybe you and Bob are not ready for an adult relationship. When I was 17 I had a special friendship with a girl and our friends were sure we were going out - except we weren't. The rumours had no effect on our friendship. We stayed good friends for almost 20 years since high school.

So, do you care more about what other people think or do you care more about Bob?

You have something with Bob that is special - a loving but platonic relationship. Boyfriends will come and go but you will still have this relationship with Bob through the years. I have a number of such relationships with women. And yes I am married and my wife trusts me with these women. That's because she has similar platonic relationships with guys.

People will whisper behind your back and/or say to your face that they suspect a thing between you and Bob. Take pity on them as you and Bob share an inside joke about their ignorance. It really is quite fun!

xxxsoulsistaxxx agony auntThis is simply a really good friendship, one that will probably last a very long time. As you have no sexual feelings there, and you're sure he doesn't either, just go with it!!! This is truly a wonderful thing, something some people never experience.

I think you may just be stuck in a stereotype that lot's of people have that boys and girls are boyfriends and girlfriends and this just isn't true. Girls and boys can just be mates too, and really good ones, and I think this is what you have with this guy.

Don't worry, just enjoy being with him and having fun.
