redhearts Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Friends with benefits? Or doesn't want to ruin the friendship? Or isn't relationship compatible with you. Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 It's just not there for him. I have plenty of guy friends that are plenty hot that I wouldn't date. Link to comment
i_win Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I was caught up in this. It actually sucks. For me there was physical attraction and we were best friends...but that spark was missing. I hate that it's so damn important...but that spark is what helps keep eachother together when a relationship is in it's darkest hour. Link to comment
vballtay Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Friends with benefits? Or doesn't want to ruin the friendship? Or isn't relationship compatible with you. actually almost tried the whole friends with benefits thing... although he said he thought i would get too attatched and want a relationship. there he goes with the no relationship thing again. lol.

Lionel Hutz Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Seperation between sex and love. Some girls are sexy and you wanna do just that. Some sexy in a different way. Its hard to explain, its just different. Link to comment

cassiana Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 you are not is type. Men are sexually attracted to alot more people than woman I think. I would put it this way. I don't really live spaghetti bolognese. It is alright, I will occasionally eat it and if very hungry will scarf it down with relish but I would never pick it from a menu as there are other things I prefer to eat. If he likes you but is not really into you in that way, hep obably wants to keep you as a friend. Also knowing that you like him devalues you inhis eyes. Men like chase and mystery. Also if we get things too easy we don't value them. If it comes up again agree with him. Yeah you would have sex with him you think but really you don't think you could commit long term. He'll ask you why and you can say. It's just a feeling I've recently had when I realised noticed something about you. Never divulge. Two can be enigmatic. Link to comment
redhearts Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 He doesn't see you as a serious/long term potential type. Link to comment
vballtay Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 He doesn't see you as a serious/long term potential type. well thats sad. lol. Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 well thats sad. lol. Listen. Just say to yourself "oh well". He finds you attractive, which means you probably are. Find someone else who thinks you are and wants a relationship with you. Don't dwell. Be happy. Link to comment
cassiana Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Exactly. Different strokes for different folks. Someone else will find you lovely. his loss. Link to comment
Lionel Hutz Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 * Its hard to explain. And I have tried hard to articulate how he feels but its hard to put into words this thought process. Link to comment

Cognitive_Canine Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 * Its hard to explain. And I have tried hard to articulate how he feels but its hard to put into words this thought process. It's just not there. Pick a random guy that is a friend. Why aren't you dating him? Because the spark just isn't there. Link to comment

He probably spent time forcing himself to get over you and let go of what he found attractive about you. Now that you do like him, what he liked about you he had killed a while ago in his mind to stop himself from feeling hurt. Link to comment

Yeah i guess its so simple that its seems a bit more complex. Ive felt like this guy does before. Really I just wanted to get some, no strings. Link to comment

It's a lie. He wants to have sex with you but not be in a relationship with you. You're not his type, but you happen to like him which translates into sex. Link to comment
miracle29 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Man it really hurts when you have strong feelings for someone and they don't return those feelings. Don't force it, just put a little space between you guys so it wont drive you mad. Don't push yourself on him, or he'll take the sex and make you feel really awful afterwords, all the while saying "I told you we we're just friends". Don't put yourself in that predicament...be strong and don't chase any man ever! Link to comment
Trooper5 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Here are a couple of reasons, 1. He is not "in" to you. 2. He doesn't want to ruin your friendship. 3. He doesn't see a future in the relationship. 4. There may be some kind of detail he doesn't like in your history : (job, credit score, income, relatives, friends, hobby) 5. It could be an asundery of unknowns. If you guys are truly close friends, he should have the respect for you to sit down and explain himself and his actions to you. Good luck, Troop. Link to comment
vballtay Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 1. He is not "in" to you. he was a while ago. i turned him down. now that i want him ofcourse, he does not. how do you change your mind like that? Link to comment
Trooper5 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 1. He is not "in" to you. he was a while ago. i turned him down. now that i want him ofcourse, he does not. how do you change your mind like that? Believe it or not, all of us are not the same. I was merely quoting a bunch of different things I have heard soldiers say over the years when referring to personal relationships. I don't know how some guys change their mind. Men are woman will never fully understand each other. Im sorry for the predicament you have found yourself in. I wish I had the answer you were looking for to help you reason his actions out. Troop.

Hayles Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 He doesn't see you as a serious/long term potential type. Yes, perhaps as you guys are close, he has some idea about what you want in your future and knows that's not for him... really, noone can speculate, he is the only one who knows the real reason and it seems like he is zipping the lip... so don't spend too much time on it...Good luck!

ghost69 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 sounds to me like he would like to just be physical with you. you don't possess enough for him to commit to a relationship with you or he just isn't ready for one at this time. you want more and you aren't impressed with his decision. least he is honest and you know. what are you looking for on this thread? anybody can change their mind for any number of a billion reasons.

yumicecream Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I think that you should be careful. It sounds like he is trying to turn you into an FWB...you definetly need to move on. His feelings have died. They might come back later, but you should move on. Link to comment
