i'll give you a little bit of background info: I have been on and off with my friend mark for about 2 years now. when we first met, he took me on a date and had a little fling before he went back to college. after i graduated high school i went to the same college as him and we still go there together. last year we would randomly hook up at parties and then at spring break he apologized for leading me on, and then we hooked up again a month later where he proceeded to ignore me again. i was extrememly hurt by this and would ignore him.
i have a class with him this year and on the first day he texted me which i ignored, and then at the end of class he pushed through a bunch of people just to say "hi" to me and now he always sits by me and my friends in class. we have gotten together to do homework twice and he even made me a pregame playlist randomly because i told him that i was running out of good music.
basically, i invited him to my date party for my sorority and he told me that he would go with me as friends only. he said he knows that we have a past together but just wants to be friends now. i'm really confused by this because of the way he has been acting towards me in class, and the fact that he initiates getting together outside of class/made me a playlist. what does he mean he just wants to be friends?! when we would hook up, we never had sex btw. i'm just really confused what he's feeling, it's giving me a headache. any insight would be appreciated.
In my opinion, it would be best to just be straightforward with him. He keeps saying he wants to be friends, so maybe it is best to treat him as a friend only. No hooking up, especially if your feelings are getting involved. It seems like he does whatever he wants, regardless of how he feels about you.
If I were in your shoes, I'd just tell him "Look, it's time to stop playing games. Are you into me as more than a friend or not?" He needs to be honest with you. Put yourself first. Good luck and I hope I helped :)
