I have this friend (I'll call him Chris, 17/m) and we both started liking each other the more we talked (about a month ago). I knew he liked me with his subtle hints, but I didn't let him know I liked him. I stopped liking him because I fell for my ex again (a few weeks later).
I got over my ex about 5 days ago, and I confessed to Chris (two nights ago) that I've always liked him and I still do. The problem is that he's been interested in this one girl for the past couple of weeks. The only thing holding them back from dating is that the girl has a boyfriend. Anyways, he said he wants to how it goes after we hang out a lot more.
I really like Chris. He's different from most guys. He's the romantic type that likes to cook dinner and watch movies and have picnics. He's not looking for sex.
What should I do?

BitsandPieces answered Thursday October 5 2006, 11:48 am: Keep hanging out with this guy you like, but just as friends and without pressuring him. If he thinks you are too desperate or a sure thing, he may take you for granted, so make sure you don't give him the idea that you are going to wait around while he goes for this other chick. Keep your options open including him, but not exclusively. He will either realize that you are not going to wait around forever and he'd better get with you while he can, or he will continue to go after the other girl. What we don't have is always appealing, so don't be too available. It is not about playing games, but about a careful balance between being accessable, but not too easy.
