Wrong Idea

I have a guy friend that I've been friends with for about six years, we worked together while I was in my senior year of high school. We had a thing for one drunken night but then I found out he had a girlfriend so we've been nothing but friends since and honestly, I have no romantic interest in him at all. Well, when I was with my boyfriend, he kept telling me that this kid acted like he thought he would be getting with me. Since my boyfriend and I broke up a few weeks ago, he constantly wants to hang out with me. The thing is, I'm not sure how many friends he still has left in the area and I feel bad. It's just getting uncomfortable for me because I don't want it to seem like I'm leading him on and I don't want to feel guilty for something I'm doing or not doing. I'd bring this up, but honestly, I would feel like such an imbecile if he's like "what the hell are you talking about?"

Well since you are friends I would just be honest and ask. If you are way off base then at least you guys and laugh about it and move on and you will at the same time know how he really feels about you then. Good luck...its always so interesting when friends cross that line (could be good or bad but hope in your case its good) :D

The thing is that I would like nothing more than to actually be attracted to him and want something with him but I just don't. I don't want it to screw up our friendship because I make us have this talk.

LOL well this takes me back a few years. I can remember when I wasn't sure if a guy was coming on to me or just being friendly. I too was afraid to ask them because it would be awkward if not true and put them in an uncomfortable position. LOL In fact I went through this same scenario with a couple of people because I was lucky enough to go to a college where the ratio was more guys to girls...and I had a lot of guys who were just friends. I always just stayed quiet about it until it was OBVIOIS lol..then I would tell them I adored them as friends but not romantically. It was uncomfortable but honest…

well angel i think it's very risky meter you should take care of your decisions. you should investigate about the guy, but the guilt you'r talking about is really true. so you should think it now, before giving an answer to that guy....
