Question Posted Sunday May 4 2008, 5:07 pm

okay well. basically i likED this guy. i might still i'm not really sure. but he's liked me on and off for like 2 YEARS. yes years. and i feel like that's a reallly long time. but anyways i finally started liking him a few weeks ago. but i'm not really sure if that's because i actually liked him or just because there was no one else to really like. see this is my problem i constantly feel like i have to like someone because it just keeps me occupied. i don't know. like before that i had a thing with this other guy and we got in a fight so i just went back to the guy that i know will always like me. it's bad i know. but see this guy is like one of my best friends and i can talk to him about anything and trust him with anything but it just frusterates me that i can't talk to him without him liking me getting in the way. because no matter what he always ends up liking me. so anyways we have been hanging out for a few weeks. we haven't hooked up or anything but i told him i would. he said he wanted to but he was like too scared to try. he thought it would ruin our friendship or something. anyways. im kinda changing my mind about liking him. but i don't really know how to let him down gently. help?

Hey, listen. It sounds like you're not really sure what you want. And it would be really bad if you kept pulling this kid back and forth on a string. "I like you," "I don't like you." If he likes you and you keep doing that, you'll destroy his self esteem. You are looking for a boyfriend, this guy seems like he's really into you. Why don't you try to start slow with him and go out with him on one or two dates? If it's awkward, you'll have a good excuse to say it's not working, and you should go back to being friends. And if you actually like it, well that would be great, wouldn't it?
