writes:So, I have a close guy friend, let's call him D, who also happens to be an ex. We broke up over three year ago. After about a year of not talking we decided to be friends, which worked out because we both had significant others, so our new boundaries were well-defined. Now that we're both in college, I haven't had as much time to keep in touch. Also, we're both single now. My problem is that every time we do talk, he complains about being lonely and doesn't have any close friends at school, and maybe it's just in my head, but he always makes some sort of reference to our past relationship and how happy he was. No matter how many times I tell him I'm busy, it's like he expects me to get online and talk to him nightly. It is making me so uncomfortable to the point where I don't want to talk to him at all! I don't want to be mean about it because I really do consider him a good friend, but I feel like he's crossing the line! How do I get him to take a hint and stop it? Also, is there any chance I'm reading too far into this?

I was in a simliar situation. My best friend of 15 years told me he was in love with me, and I didn't feel the same. I told him the truth, which he didn't respond well to and although we are still friends, we aren't as close as we used to be.I'd tell him how you feel, and if he's your friend he should respect that.Good luck
