So there's this guy and we are friends. We went on a couple of dates and it was at the stage where we needed to have the talk about where it was going. He was making all the moves and it definitely seemed to be going down the relationship road. Even our friends were picking up on it. But then he said "I like you but I think it would be best if we stayed friends". Please discuss...

The guy is just not too sure at this point. He's basically playing safe just incase you turn him down or he's just not sure if he should hold on or let go or get to know you a li'l more before he commits coz eitherways he's popped the question and has reserved his place ;)

Hi. I don't know how old you are.... but this is my recommendation: Go to the bookstore and pick up a copy of "The Rules" by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider. It's a paperback in the "relationship" section of Barnes and Noble. It is a MUST READ for ALL ladies - any age. The first mistake is having "the talk" about where things might be going. Guys don't want an "agenda" thrown at them so soon -- or EVER! A couple of dates? No, dear. Way, WAY too soon for "the talk". You shouldn't have to have "the talk". He should be so "in to you" that you are confident and secure about your relationship without ever having a talk! GO GET THE BOOK. Trust me. Best $7 I've ever spent. It has virtually changed my life. Not only will he KNOW that he made a mistake by letting you slip through his fingers, but you will have him calling and pleading to take you out. Do it! Just do it! ----from a fellow female. We girls must stick together!

So you like him more than just being friends, and what he said was kind of a let down. Ask him why he said it, he didn't say it just to say it. There is reasoning behind what he said. Personally don't dwell on it, accept it for the time being and who knows, maybe a little down the road it may change.

it means after hangin out for some time, he has decided he doesn't want to be with you that way. And i think he has put it very decently, without being mean. You should accept it, continue to be friends from here, if you can and want, and don't think about this too much. He has made it clear that things won't progress any further.

because you're both putting out with idiots or humorous adult adult males who're only being sexist satirically. EDIT: Wait, "a sturdy stiff one" would nicely be a lager. possibly they are only declaring that anybody is concentrated and disciplined till they get somewhat devil water in 'em.

OMG....Why do guys get scared of commitment to a relationship? Now I am angry. I know what you mean. My best friend who is a guy and I have had sex and had a daughter that died ,5 hours after giving birth to her. He tells me he loves me but it would be better if we remained best friends. I give up. I cannot tell why they do this....All I know is that it makes me bloody mad.

He is just saying he likes you, but better as a friend then a girlfriend. Or that he say that, cuz he might not won't to hurt the friendship. Men and their way of saying things.

he is afraid that this relationship (girlfriend/boyfriend) might not work and he does not want to loose a friend. I agree with him totally. Better be friends than nothing at all.

He likes you, but he thinks you are too 'nice'. He respects you too much to take it further because you are too easy to get to know. You are far too comfortable to him. Safe, secure, predictably nice. He is bored with you. You never say 'no' to him. You are too innocent. Sex with you to him would feel like having sex with his little sister.
Get sexy. Be a little more aloof. Let him know you have a life besides him. See other guys. Be confident. A little playful...
