Seriously, you are just servicing him and that is disgusting on your part. The reason he can't elevate you to a girlfriend is because you have done that. Turn yourself around and show some self respect, don't ever do that for a guy you aren't dating and in a relationship with again, ever.....or you are going to end up used and abused.
He is conflicted because he does enjoy your company, but he has lost respect for you in my estimation. Start earning it back by holding out for what it is you actually want, a proper relationship. If he can't or won't turn his feelings for you into something more than just f-ck buddies, then you are on your way to getting over him and moving on to a better relationship for you. Because this is not healthy, you are kind of chasing him aren't you by making yourself as handy to him as a shirt pocket?

Why does he do these things?
What things? Cum in your mouth? Because you are blowing him.
Few men would resist a free blow job.
You are at best FWB. I doubt it will become more. Sorry girl, but you are the one doing these things. From your post, he doesn't seem to be doing much beyond a light friendship.

Stop getting drunk around him, if that is the excuse you two use when you end up having sex. Giving him head will not convince him to go from friends to BF/GF...
Right now you are more like friends with Benefits then anything else.
If you want him to be your friend, then be a friend - keep your mouth and hand off him.
He does seem to like you but either isn't really sure about the two of you.
I agree with Emily's answer:
Cut contact for a while and spend time with other friends. He will either realize that he does indeed want a relationship OR you will realize what it is you want.

Channypie is verified as being by the original poster of the questionyou say its obvious that this guy likes me.. i have told him a few times how i feel.. and he hasnt said anything.. or tells me that he doesnt know what to say.. then if i ask him about it the next day.. by sms or something he tells me that he loves me to much to ruin our freind ship and that i mean to much to him to take things further at the risk of losing me.. and this doesnt help make me feel better when i feel like a loser coz ive never had a relationship :'(

What's happening is that he's messing you about.
He doesn't know how he feels. That's fair enough.
But he knows how you feel so when ever you get sexual with him, he knows deep down that he's using you. You ask why he does this? Simple. FREE BLOW JOBS!!!
You can get this guy if you want but you are going to have to be really strong. I'm not sure you'll have it in you but if you really want it and focus then you can do this.
Ok.
So he doesn't want you as girlfriend, is aware that he's hurting you, but still keeps you around because he likes having you there as a mate.
Well I'm sorry, but even if he has the best intentions in the world: He's being selfish.
So here is what you do.
You point out how selfish he is being and tell him you can't take it any more. If you can't have him as a boyfriend, it's too painful for you to be around him. Tell him you are going to take some time away from him and cut contact with him for a while so you can get over him. Your friendship will not be the same afterwards and you will not be as close. But that's life. He's going to lose you because he just doesn't feel that way.
Make it clear that he is basically going to lose you.
After this, the hard bit. CUT CONTACT. No texts, no calls. If he asks how you are then text back and tell him that you are still hurt and still don't want him to contact you.
Spend time with your other friends. Look around at other guys. Start the process of getting over him.
He will realise what an idiot he is being about this and come after you to ask you to be his girlfriend. When he does, you take it SLOWLY. Don't rush into bed. Make him take you out. Make him do it right, or he will just see you as his mate and end up looking for other girls as he has been doing previously.
If he doesn't come after you then you just have to carry on not talking to him and trying to get over him. Sometimes these things just don't work out. But you can give it a try rather than letting it destroy you slowly.
Good Luck!! xx

How does he look at you? Does he look deeply in your eyes after he kisses you? or does he just kiss and grope.
I myself hav had far too much experience with men, only lately have I met one I am intuitive about. I can tell how he feels etc. you will too, just play the field and give it time. if you've never been in a relationship, you'll never have anything to compare this guy to.

You need to talk to him. You dont know where you you are and we cant advise you either. All I can say is that he is taking advantage of you. Do not let him use you unless you are getting something back in return.
It sounds like there is some chemistry between you and it has been there for sometime. find out if he is free and if he wants to have a relationship with you. Take it slowly and make him do the running. Do not fall into bed too quickly - you will get more satisfaction knowing that he ran after you.
Good luck.

reader, anonymous, writes (31 August 2009): This is a hard one.its obvious that this guy likes you. I dont think he is using you in any way for sex. I think its gotten beyond the stage where you guys can just be normal friends because you like him as more than a friend and he likes you.id be inclined to let him know that this thing betweeen ye could be brilliant as well as potentially breaking up. Thin positive and go for it.If he still doesnt want to then you do need to withdraw for a while and allow yourself to get over him because you cant just stop feeling that way about him.In any case until you know where you stand with him emotionally no more night-time treats for him. :-)I hope this helps and good luck with it.
