Question - (3 May 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 4 May 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, *llaq writes:

Ok, one of my friends asked me out a few times a while ago and I said I couldn't go out with him 'cause I don't like him like that. Everything was fine until our schedules changed at school and we started hanging out a lot more. Now he keeps flirting and asking me to go to the movies/ come over his house etc.

This should all be very simple considering I definitely don't like him romantically but ... now I find myself leaning into his touch and thinking the idea of kissing him to be not so terrible as I used to...

But when I remember Who it is touching me and flirting with me I feel guilty. I'm pretty sure I'm reacting like this because I've been so, let's call it, "frustrated" lately with guys. He's so persistent about his feelings that it's hard not to react in ways that are misleading on my part and I feel like I'm using him.

Now I'm reduced to wahhh

any advice?

ps- I've made it clear that I'm not interested as have several of our friends that he's asked advice from.

decide if you want him or not. people change and there is only one way to find out...if not let him know. Don't be reckless with his heart because you don't know what you want.

LazyGuy agony auntYou don't like him romantically, but you do like being around him?

Why do I think the sentence "If only I could find a boyfriend like him" is waiting to be uttered by you?

Either you like him purely as a friend and then you would be leaning into his touch or you just need to realize that sometimes love suprises us.

Perhaps you really just need to re-examine what it is you are looking for.
