friends or what?

[irene]

I have a very nice guy friend, we go out and hang out together at school. the problem is that i like him and i think he likes me and eventhough i told him that i was open for a relationship, he still hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend but every chance he has, he spends it with me. He once told me that nice girls like me were hard to find. also, we hold hands sometimes.the other day he told me that he can see me having a guy around my finger. what does that mean? i'm getting confused, if we continue to hold hands other guys will think that i'm taken but if i tell him to stop holding hands he might feel hurt and i don't want to lose him as a friend. what can i do?

Irene, it sounds like you do have a relationship. Do you need the words spoken out loud to make it so? what he means about your finger and a guy... well it sounds as though he feels you could manipulate a man very easily, and he prob.means himself..

He may be afaid that a romance will change your realtionship. He is probably comfortable with how things are. also, he may have been hurt by someone else.

 

Give it time. but don't wait around. If things are not right just now, be a friend. more may devlop later but don't let your life depend on it. I'd pick up handholding again if the two of you date. If you're friendship hinges on handholding, that's not good
