A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *addington_devil writes:

There's a boy I've liked since June now. He's a year older than me - 17. He's really sweet and caring. A great friend to me through thick and thin. He's gorgeous and basically perfect boyfriend material. And he knows I like him.

I confessed to him a couple of weeks ago - and I got my answer back within a day - that he'd prefer to stay friends with me. I was all right with it, because it was the answer I'd expected.

However - last weekend he went specially to a friend of mine and according to her he was apparently really depressed, saying that he'd been stupid to say no to me, and that he really liked me too - but was too shy to say anything to me. The next day he asked me to go to lunch with him (this Friday) and I said yes.

The thing is - his mind changes all the time! According to his best friend he loves the thrill of the chase, and I fear I've taken it away from him. His friend's advice was to play hard-to-get, to cancel our Friday lunch date and act like I've got over him completely, let him take all the steps towards me.

I don't know what to do! Should I cancel? I like him so much, but can't bear to stay hanging in this limbo state of sadness and happiness - I want him to like me for definite :(
