Hey Guys
So i met this guy back in January, and I always thought it was headed towards a date/FWB type of relationship, however having confronted the guy about his intentions (and that i felt he was stringing me along), he made it clear he wasn't ready to settle and date and only wanted friends, and see how that would proceed.
So, unfortunately, I kind of like the guy and want to see him more. Respecting what he's wanting, I'm going to maintain this 'friendship', however this is where I feel its kind of confusing.
He tells me he doesn't have sex with someone unless he knows them well, because in the past he gets too attached to someone he has sex with. So even though he wanted to be friends, he does from time to time become rather flirtatious and sexual, which I'm all for. However, we have never gone beyond sexting.
I do genuinely believe he is a kind and genuine guy , and I somewhat feel like he does like me, however he isn't ready to date. (He just got out of a relationship in November?, and his past boyfriends have all ended rather terribly. Death was involved.)
Do you guys have any advice on how I should approach this, because I do want to see if it could get somewhere in the future, yet I know there's the possibility that nothing will ever come from it. As a side note, I have never had a guy friend. All my friends are girls, and I do happen to actually think like a stereotypical girl. Any advice on how to tackle this "friendship"
Much appreciated guys
