I thought I was in love(for about 20 minutes)and actually went out on a few dates with a guy that I've known for years.
Well..after realizing that I wasn't in love with him, I just admired him and we got along and had much in common, I told him that I wasn't interested in seeing him, relationship wise, and that I would just like to remain friends.
Unfortunately, he feels that I led him on and if we could just sit down and talk(like we've done a thousand times)only NOT about being a couple, that we could resolve the problem that I have in not wanting a relationship with him.
The problem is that I keep getting flowers with cards attached stating, "I can't forget those nights of passion, can you?"
Hell!! We ONLY shared kisses...I mean..ya...they were really great kisses, but I just feel that I'm too emotionally fickle to be in a relationship.
How can you get someone to understand that it's in their best interest to not think of you in a romantic way?...and trust me...I have tried!!
deadbutwhy: Him: I can't forget those nights of passion, can you? You: Dude, I have no idea what you are talking about Did you confuse me with a different lady?
It will wear off, just stick to your guns Doll. Eventually, he will tire of it and move on. You will probably have to give up the friendship, but it sounds like the peace of mind would be a fair trade-off.
Shell225: No you didnt lead him on you went on some dates... which is what people do... go on dates to see if they have genuine feelings for the other person.
So do tell him that emotional blackmail and guilt tripping are not attractive qualities in another person.
Nights of passion well if you've been out kissing, you've had heaps more passion that I've had lately, so Im jealous.. Really there's nothing to talk about, he either wants to be friends or he doesnt. Perhaps he just needs time to get his head around it.
Ah...Shell...I hope Mr. Right comes along for you. Thanks for the advice.
The problem is that we do alot of volunteering together and I guess it's getting to be a bit awkward. It's not exactly mixing business with pleasure, but when we attend many of the same functions, etc., we can barely look at each other.

Venusenvy, I have to say no one comes close on here in matching you in to-the-point posts. You have a wisdom that is in a class all by it self. Thanks!
