what would u do, if u have a friend that u like but u dont know if they like u back? ( Archived) (7)

now my first instinct is to just stop talkin to him but its somethin tellin me to hold on, i have a short tension spand and everytime i ask the question he goes around the question but at times i think he's trying to show me he cares. but what do i do hold on or let go.

Since he is a friend...
Maybe you can just focus on the friendship and
see what developes. If he shows real interest you
will know. Speaking along the lines of telling you
he feels more or showing you physically. If unsure
I would wait for a definite action. Good friendships
are precious. I would hang on to that relationship.

It could be any number of things. What springs to mind is that he is either shy, wary, scared of rejection and, therefore, he is being tentative. He could be trying to find out how you feel before he makes any feelings for you known (as for not directly answering questions, he may be wary - you don't always know the person at the end of the airwaves, they may be a scammer, have a hidden agenda - he may be unsure at this stage). Otherwise, he could be playing games with you, dangling just enough of carrot to keep you hanging on. Perhaps he likes the attention and its a bit of an ego-boost for him, thinking he has someone chasing after him!!

Think about whether you make all the contact or if he volunteers communication off his own bat?? If you are doing all the running, forget him!! Not knowing all the facts, I am unsure what real advice other than that I can give you.

I truly hope it works out though, my friend - good luck to you!!

I think - thats mean end of this relation, becouse you couldnt call somone as your friend if this someone dont feel as your friend anymore.... I would forget about that person, as a friend, but not forget about our nice time togather in past.

why not just tell them how you feel
that way you will stop wondering and know which way to go
sometimes in life the person feels the same way about us
but like us are afraid to say something
stop wondering and tell the person how you feel about them

you will never know how it will go unless you say something
now go ahead and say something,just pass the jack down this way

I agree with Zdeadman... I was in the same type of situation about 7 years ago, and he was going through a divorce and we were good friends, and I knew he really was probably not ready for a relationship, but I decided to tell him. He told me he did not want to lose my friendship, and he was flattered, and did not want me to be his 'rebound' gal... Unfortunately, when he was ready about 15 months later, and started showing me how he felt, I had begun seeing someone else. Now that I'm single again, my feelings for this guy are just platonic.. I love him dearly as a pal, but we're just good pals.

I look at it as it just wasnt' in the cards for us to be in an intimate relationship.
