Question Posted Saturday September 27 2008, 8:17 pm
So it goes like this.. me and this guy have been friend for about 3-4 yrs. I had feelings for him in the beginning but they subsided b.c. "we're friends" and i didnt want to ruin that. I always said i would only get with him if he told me he wanted to be with me first.. one day about 3 weeks ago we were hanging out and he kissed me. for about a week and a half after that i would get txts everyday and we'd always talk but then the txts stopped coming. we would chill and still kiss but i wasnt sure on letting him go further. when i denied him the txts really never came and now idk what to do. i want to tell him that i have feelings for him but i dont want to look dumb. I dont want him to hurt me b.c. i dont want to jeoprodize our friendship.. URGH what do i do?
Ask him when you can hang out. Be honest with him. Ask him to be honest with you. Ask him what he wants and tell him what you want. Don't go into "I want babies and marriage" just stay on "I like you, and want to date you"
So on and so forth.
Oh, and on his behavior.
Theres a pretty good chance that he hasnt said anything because when you denied him, he didn't know why or what it meant. He is some level of embarassed and dismayed.
Talk to him. Face to face. Smile at him to reassure him. Kiss him again.

tell him exactly what you just said in your statement. YOu expressed yourself very will. Go with that and see what he says. Be careful. YOu have to wonder why he stopped texting you just because you wouldn't let him go further. Listen to his answer and go with your gut. It never steers you wrong. I hope I helped.
Good luck,
