So there's this guy, right? And I used to have quite a crush on him. He liked me somewhat too. So I wrote him a note. I told him I liked him.
That was a while ago, and my feelings have faded, but now he likes me! And I'm sure he assumes it's mutual, since I wrote that note, and I haven't said anything since. The problem is, we're really good friends and we talk a lot. I'm worried that he's interpreting it as flirting, which it isn't, at least not intentionally. I really don't want to lead him on, he's sweet.
So, my question(s> is(are): Is there any way to read his feelings, and how can I flir--talk to him less without comprimising the friendship?
Evikins answered Wednesday April 27 2005, 12:11 pm: I don't think there's a specific way to read his meanin'. I mean you've read 'em all, from the way he behaves around you. If he's a good friend, your been honest with him that you don't fancy him more than just being a friend, will not (SHOULD NOT) compromise your friendship. Sit him down and talk to him. I hope it helps.

Try not to flirt with him as that will give him hints that you fancy him back.
Could you say in a passing comment how nice it is to be single at the moment?
As long as you treat him as you would any other friend then he should get the message sooner or later!
Good luck! [ Daisy's advice column | Ask Daisy A Question ]

So, you have to tell him blunty, in other words, tell him without beating around the bush. Right now, hes convinced that you still like him, and its best that you correct his thought before he gets his heart broken.
