A female China age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Is there such relatioship "relying on each other" but we are not dating??...when I feel sad, i think of him to comfort me....Am I relying too much on him??

We claimed to be friends and agreed just to stay like this at the mean time....

Sometimes I just feel that this is not a good thing coz I feel that our relatioship is kind of weird.

We are closer than friends...Sometimes he would ask me " Am I a burden to u??" (Since we often chat at nights)

Well 1 things for sure, when you feel sad and think bout him for comfort DOES NOT mean that you're relying too much on him..

it just means that you have someone whom you can approach and know would make you feel better

if he wants to stay friends then he probably does not want to rush into a relationship. its normal.. but all you need is some time to see when you can really bring this relationship to a new level

it is normal to rely on each other and not date, basically the emotional bond that you already share define the closeness felt, not the dating rite?

but if you still feel it's kinda weird don be afraid to talk to him bout it. finally, i'm sure he's no burden, just reassure him

Yes you can rely on someone without dating them. He's a very close friend. You don't really say what problem you have with this.

He asks; "Am I a burden to you?"

Whats the answer?

yes then you want it to stop so your gonna have to talk to him and explain why.

no carry on as before

Are you relying to much on him? I guess he'll let you know if you are. You could end up spending a lot of time together to the detriment of your respected love lives, ie you'll fail to meet new people or they may be put off by your closeness to him.
