There is always a hope feeling, but do you try and stop liking too much or try to act indifferent

I don't know. If he is isn't interested because he is involved with another woman (married/dating) then I'd back off. I wouldn't want to be the reason that he left the person he was seeing or married to. If he'd leave her for me, then he'd probably leave me for another woman. If he's unnattached and he's not interested, then I'd probably feel hurt and a little embarassed...but I'd get over it.

He is unattached, but we go out and around together, and always have a good time, but he's never said anything personal in 6 years, I dont want to say anything lovey dovey or back off in case he doesn't ask me out anymore. I am included in most of his activities, Its driving me mad as I wonder whether he likes me or just being a good host. I've come to the conclusion that he must like me as he does include me. Its the feeling of never knowing though

Why not ask him? If you guys have been hanging out for 6 years and you have feelings for him, tell him. Or at least let him know that you are interested in him...more than just friends. I guess you could ask him if he sees you as just a friend or if he thinks he could see you as a girlfriend.

He might like you as a friend, and probably doesn't want to destroy your friendship. If he hasn't said anything to in 6yrs, well may be you should throw it out to him. Cus you would be heart broken if you later find out that you have wasted your time waiting for a word that may never come out.

6 years???? O man honey, you seriously need to meet someone else. Next time he calls to hang out tell him you cant because you have a date. If a man is interested, theres NO mistaking it. wine

Yeah, introduce another man!!! rolling on the floor laughing Play with fire, burn your emotional house down, see if he cares. I think risking things like jealousy, envy, rejection, defeatism and more in you or him, are really bad negative choices in securing a relationship of any sort. sad flower



I think straight up talking about it is the way. Being deceptive to illicit feelings is a poor choice imo. I personally would not respond favourably to that sort of behavior.


innocent

what about just asking him? put your wondering (never knowing) to rest...?
you might not get the answer you want, or you might be delighted with the answer...wouldn't you rather know the truth about how he feels?
and then make an informed choice/decision from there?
i don't think 'games' or manipulation is ever a good course of action.

All the replies are so helpful, I did try the obvious (only danced with another man at a get together and he did get jelous) but no talk of him only wanting to be with me. So I dont do the jealousy anymore. I think the conclusion is that I would be so heartbroken and feel so rejected if I had the courage to ask him outright and he didnt respond.
He talks like we ar a couple, its "we this, we"ll do that", if he didnt respond I should have to move ( I know its a bit drastic) as I couldnt stand the embarrssment, would the hurt be too much. I just dont knoww.

What if he feels the exact same way as you do and prefers (in his mind) to only have you as a friend than risk loosing seeing you? What if you are both currently learning the same lesson (are a mirror of each other) AND what you both need to learn is open honest communication? What if he thinks that after 6 years there´s no hope of you being a couple because if it was to be it would already have happened? dunno

I agree with BB here and disagree with playing mind games. Mind games are never the way forward.

If someone cant see the way you feel about him by the way you are then I would say let him go honey, he knows alright?? The fact you have stuck around for six years should be a pointer for him. Go get yourself a guy that adores you....not you him, there are millions of guys that will give you what you give to this non entity, hes either playing you or has become so used to your adulation he dont see what a great gal you are. Good luck.

Before you "ditch" this guy,as some others have advised,you need to be in the position of knowing for sure how he feels{just simply ask}If you don`t get the reply that you think you should,then by all means end it.cheers

For heavens sake...Own your life...Live it! Starting dating like right now and when he calls you up next time, already have plans. Dont waste time on a commitment phobe! Think about what YOU want ...Its YOUR life wine

You can't really stop liking too much, but you can be courageous and ask the questions. Tell what you want from relationship. You obviously are afraid that you will fail if you ask and it may be the case, but it is no worse than being in limbo for many years. Acting does not make sense either if you are not that type of person. Really what we have in this life is ourselves and we should respect ourselves first and foremost, therefore, fear not!
