Does he just want to be friends? Is he just stringing me along for fun?

Question - (15 March 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 15 March 2010)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I am currently friends with this really great guy. Every time we are together we have a great time, whether we are talking about something serious or just goofing off. Sometimes he'll compliment me on how I smell nice, or what I am wearing that day, small stuff like that. When we are together he gets all touchy with my hands (ie handshakes or just grabs them for no reason) and my legs/arms too. Once we shared a moment and it felt so right.

To me, it seems like he likes me? Right?

However, then he'll bring up things like "wow, that girl is really cute over there, don't you think?", and "today I saw my dream girl, she was gorgeous, she had [insert description], I just wish I could see her again." and one last one "I met this girl at the dentist today, I don't know if I should try and find her on facebook.." You get the picture. He also gets together with his ex on a regular basis.

I am totally confused. Does he just want us to be friends and this is how he acts with his friends (who are girls, who he happens to have quite a lot of)? Does he just want to string me along for fun? Is he trying to make me jealous or play hard to get? I am just very confused and I want to make sense of this. Help please.

A reader, anonymous, writes (15 March 2010):

It sounds to me that he is like this with all the girls he encounters. I don't think he is intentionally stringing you along or trying to hurt you. But I don't think he is looking for anything serious either, with any of the girls he meets. I think it is just the way he is, so I don't think more than friendship should be expected from him. Even though the things he does with you may mean a lot to you, it probably doesn't mean anything more to him. So if you are not happy with him being this way with you, then you could ask him to back off a bit, to avoid getting anymore mixed signals. x

adamantine agony auntHe seems to like you and is trying to make you jealous. If you do like him, ask him, and ask him what he's getting at. However, you said that he is getting with his ex on a regular basis. That's a big no-no in my book.
