Does he have feelings for me?

Question

There's this guy that I've been in a FWB (friends w/benefits)situation with for the past three months. Recently he decided he wants to end the sexual aspect and remain friends. When I told him, "No sex, no friendship", he got super pissed, saying I was "using him as a sexual object".

So after we determined that we're going to move forward as just friends, he approached me with this project he wants to work with me on. However, he's always making one excuse or another about why he can't initiate or complete a project.

So when he approached me today about this one, I asked him if he was serious this time around. He got upset and told me that I'm too judgemental. I've told him before that he has great ideas but he needs to build up his confidence. If I had half the talent he did, I'd be super successful.

If he knows I'm going to tell him the same thing, why does he keep asking me for advice? Do you think that he has feelings for me?

Answer 1

I think you have feelings for him as well. Otherwise, you wouldn't ask him to keep sticking it to you when he decided to end the sexual aspect of your relationship. I think you are being too harsh with him. Give him a chance by suggesting new ways for him to advance his talent. Be more encouraging by telling him how much talented you think he is. Have some fun and stop being so critical, and maybe then he'll show you his true feelings.

Answer 2

I think you did something to make him mad and he thinks he's punishing you by not having sex. Either that or he found a different friend.
