I was asking Boxman; I agree with you about friendship being fine and the importance of respecting clearly stated boundaries.


Oh, I thought you were asking me as well. :0

I don't know. I think being friends is fine. I just think he is looking for more than that, and I am not willing to, nor am I even attracted to him whatsoever.


Are you really friends, though? I'd say it's more of an association than a friendship. There's all this leverage in it, being used. You may not be deceiving him, but you're leveraging his feelings, to get, I don't know, maybe you enjoy his company or like the flattery. Whatever it is, he's leveraging that in the hopes of getting in your pants. Someone's bound to end up disappointed, or just quietly suffering. It seems kind of .... sad.

No, I'm not looking for flattery. I wanted to be his friend, but I don't feel like I can be his friend lately because he is pulling this kind of stuff on me. That's what I'm really thinking. At first I thought he was joking, since he never was this way in high school and stuff, but now it's different. He's just changed a lot, I guess.
