illusionsaregrander answered Wednesday March 10 2010, 4:19 pm: If he has told you up front that he has no time for a girlfriend, thats a hint. People who know you like them, but they dont have the same feelings for you tend to try to use subtle clues to get you to back off. Mostly because they care about your feelings and dont want to hurt you.
You have a right to tell him how you feel, honestly. And that may be the best move. Tell him you like him, as more than a friend. But my guess is that he is not interested in you as a romantic partner. Men dont tell women they want to hook up with that they have no room in their lives for girlfriends.

Talk to him when you two get a chance to be alone. Tell him that you would like to be more than just friends and that you would appreciate it if he could think about it at least, for you mean it when you say you love him. Then, give him some time to think. He needs to sort things out in his head before he decides anything. I believe he will understand if you tell him calmly how you feel, that it would be alright if he thought about it, and then tell him how much you appreciate the friendship you already have with him.
I feel that this guy would rather spend some quality time with you for a while, become emotionally closer to you, and then he will feel confident as being your boyfriend. Tell him no matter what you will always make some time for him, that way he knows you will always be there. Build the relationship a bit more, let him know in person how you truely feel (convince him), then have some patience.
