A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Ok - here is my problem. I met a wonderful man about 3 months ago - we shared alot of information - by email, texting and talking on the phone. He asked me out on a date and alot of questions about how I felt about his current situation (having his kids 24/7). I responding telling him I was fine with that and things seemed ok - he talked about things this winter. Then I got a strange email from him stating with his life - he is just looking for a friend, however all other signs have pointed to more. Yet he still wanted to go out and for me to meet his kids. What is his deal? Any male insite would be appreciated. Thanks.

I know an attractive lady who a few years ago met and dated a prosperous chap with children (separated from his wife) through a 'posh' people's dating agency (ludicrous concept one may think but there you go). Anyway things seemed tickety-boo for a while, they went places with his children who were okay with her - it transpired after a few weeks when he began to 'cool off' that he was still in love with his wife as he had been all along and wanted to 'show off' his new 'relationship' (through photos, children's first-hand accounts to their mother etc) in order to try to make her jealous and hopefully win her back! My friend decided he was a psycho and took the widest of berths from then on. Can't think why.......

Naturally I hope this is not applicable in your own case but if you want to cover more of the angles in terms of possible explanations for his behaviour it may not have harmed. Good luck!

I feel you aren't really sure why he's stating to be friends because you want him to be more personal with you but he needs a friend rather than someone that might be affected by what he says. A feelings person may be deep and people may say they understand and feel you. But we are our own indivisual person... and no-one can feel what you're feeling but can only relate. Does that make sense?
