if you have been following my questions,

http://www.dearcupid.org/question/ex-professor-and-i-have-grown-quite-close.html

http://www.dearcupid.org/question/im-in-love-with-my-professor.html

this is the latest happening. I don't understand why he only told me that he has a girlfriend this friday. he did not plan to tell me, but it just happened. I was asking him if he was the professor my other professor went with, then he said no, i went there alone. so i asked him what he did there and he said "actually... my girlfriend lives there...", so of course, i pretended to smile and ask questions. etc.

I don't get it. it's like he led me on. approaching me, replying to my messages, spotting me in the crowd, talking to me for a long time, KNOWING that I LIKE him. this is almost the third month that he knew, and he had so MANY chances to tell me, but he didn't.... so at night, I gave him a text. it went on like this...

"good evening! i'm sorry if i've been perceiving things wrong. i know that you know what i've been doing. much as i want to gain deeper friendship with you, i know that it isn't possible anymore. please don't be surprised if you won't be seeing me as much as before. still thanks for being nice and accommodating :)"

then he replied

"i would like to think perhaps we could be good friends, but i guess, from where I'm at now, no more than that. i leave it up to you. :)"

so my reply "yes. we can be good friends. good night :D"

at he replied "Goodnight, (insert my name)."

I don't get him. Yes, it's clear that friends are all we ever could be, but what I don't get is that why it took him this long to tell me. as I analyze his message, well, is it possible that he liked me too? yet not enough to actually ruin his life...

well, he's 33, i'm 20

he's a prof, i'm a student

he has a girlfriend, who he's been with for 6 years, though now they only see each other like, once a moth or every two months even. and bec. of circumstances, maybe they'll get married about 3 years later.

so i'm asking, did he lead me on? I gave him LOTS of chances to turn me down... why did he tell me, only now? what do you think..

i feel like i'm just asking for consolation...
