What should I do about this situation?


Question Posted Monday June 30 2008, 1:23 pm

In September I changed schools and I met this guy who was just like me. We went out for a couple of weeks but I ended it because I liked him as a friend.
We didn't talk for a while but then we started talking again and since then we've been really good friends.
Like he's my best guy friend.
This weekend I was at a festival with him, and we were always together. I still see him as a good guy friend, and I could never date him again, but throughout the whole weekend he was trying to get close and so on.

I'm just wondering how should I be around him so he doesn't think that I want to get back together with him. I've heard from a lot of people that he still likes me.

I want to stay friends, but I don't want to be friends whilst he's trying to get be back.

Any advice?
Thank you!

I think you need to tell your friend, and really tell him, don't beat around the bush, that you JUST want to be friends. If you don't lay that down on the table, things will only get more awkward for both of you, and it will mean that when he does go to make a move later, and he doesn't know that you only want to be friends, he will be ten times more hurt than if you just tell him now.

Does that make sense. Sorry I'm a little wordy at times..
