Okay, I had a friend with benefits. He is going through a divorce, and we started out as nothing serious. Then he said that he sensed that I wanted more so he broke things off. I DO want more, but not until he is ready. And I made that perfectly clear from the beginning.
So, now we are friends again. But, closer friends than we were to begin with. I know he still loves his ex (she left him) and he admitted to me that he pushed me away for his own good and that he is scared.
It takes a lot for a guy to admit that to a girl, I know that.
I have told him that I want to date other guys, and he said "that is fine as long as he knows that we are friends, and I will be coming around."
I asked him only once if he feels anything, he says "no, we are just friends."
He did bring his little girl over to my house recently to meet me though.
Now, I have another guy that I am casually seeing, and he doesn't seem jealous. Then again, I'm a girl. Sometimes I wish he would just give me a sign or flirt with me. But he says that he thinks that would be leading me on.
I know he's not ready for a relationship. And I am still friends with him regardless of what happens.
So, I need opinions, do you think if I continue to be patient and understanding toward him that he might give me a chance?
or do you think he is keeping me in radar but doing everything (like his daughter) on his own terms?
or do you think anything other than friendship with him (even in the future) would be a lost cause?
