Question Posted Wednesday December 31 2008, 2:47 am
A guy that I have been mainly friends with for close to a year now I told him I have real feelings for him and wanted to know if he does for me. I told him if he doesn't to tell me and he won't hear from me anymore. He wrote back this>> I do have feelings for you, but I don't think they are as strong as yours are. I do not want you to go away but if you feel you need to I understand, then typed BIG HUGS, like usual. Is this real caring? Will he start to love me? He has told me he is slow and once told me he was scared. I am confused. I am 46 female and he is 48. Please help, sincerely?

There are often people in our lives we care for, but don't want to have a relationship with. It sounds like that is the way he sees you. That is real caring, but it's not the caring you want. He wants your friendship to remain the same, not to evolve into anything more.
If you can't handle things staying the way they are, not evolving into more, then you need to stop talking to him until you can come to terms with that. He is only you friend. For whatever reason, he isn't willing to become any more then a friend. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
