Should we stay just friends?


Question Posted Monday January 16 2006, 7:10 pm

15 - Female

Okay, so, there is this guy I like a lot. I care for him a lot, I would do anything for him just about. We're pretty good friends, we keep in touch and whatnot -he lives a little bit away and he doesn't go to the same school as me-. One of the problems is, he's a really busy guy, he's got a job, school, and things he's been working on outside of school. I just want to spend time with him. It's kind of hard to be in a relationship with someone who lives a bit away, I know.. but yeah. He seems to enjoy my company as well and he tells me he wants to come down, but he has to go to work and stuff like that. We've talked about being in a relationship before, and he told me that he didn't want to be in one because he doesn't want his heartbroken again and he's too busy for a relationship... soo..

..Sorry that's all kinda jumbled. But yeah. Does anybody have any good ideas on places guys like to go with girls when they're just friends? Places that will keep them entertained and not have their brains wandering?

Aaaaaaannd... do you think we should stay friends? Is there anything I could do to make him want me more?

i think for now you should stay friends but let him know that you really like him and if he wanted to be toghether with you, you wanna be with him.

When a guy says he's too busy for a relationship, nine times out of ten he's either not interested or he actually *is* too busy for a relationship. Most guys don't bother beating around the bush on this sort of thing.

If you just want to hang out with him as a friend, perhaps you two can go out for a cup of coffee or a snack. Lunch is good too. It's non-committal and doesn't have any undertones like dinner.

You can't MAKE him want you more, by the way. At this point in time, yes, you should just remain friends. You don't need to discount the possibility of there being something more in the future, but just don't place *too* much hope on it. But hey, things change, right?
