But we're friends!


Question Posted Wednesday April 27 2005, 1:43 am

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?

You need to actually talk to him more...let him know what is going on with your feelings. Could be you should go out once and see if you still have any lingering feelings. Once you tell him you have none it may be hard to go back if you change your mind later!

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.

YOu can usually tell if a guy fancies you if he wants to spend more time with you than his mates, if he prolongs his eye contact with you, teases you, touches you briefly when he's talking such as on the shoulder or back.
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!

Well, you are leading him on when you are being his friend, you need to tell him that you felt the same a while ago, but now, things have changed and now you only want to remain friends. 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.
