Friends & Lovers
Posted: 10-06-03 13:11pm

I have this male friend of mine and i'm female. We've been friends for years and during our years of friendship we've had some sexual encounters. Every time we do something intimate together, it seems that he avoids all contact with me for about a week or so, then comes around again as if everything is ok. We don't talk much about our feelings for each other. We both value our friendship very much and would hate for anything to come in between it. Over the recent years, i've grown more attached to him and expressed my feelings to him both in writing and verbally. He feels similar, but persists that he doesn't want to pursue anything for fear of us not being able to keep our friendship in tact. We're both adults (late twenties-thirties) and I feel that we can handle a relationship and keep the friendship, but don't know how this can be done if he's so chicken about it. We are truly a seinfeld episode!

Well, it looks like hes pretty much using your for sex. Why is it that he can have sexual encounters but can have a relationship. Having sex with a friend is what usually ends a friendship not a relationship. You need to decide if your happy as that, or if you want to change things. He looks like hes happy habing sex with no strings attached, why should he change it if you do not enforce a change?

One of a kind-nikki's right.I also think u need 2 sit him down & talk about this cos he can keep running off every time something happens.This way, you'll find out what he wants & be able 2 resolve this
gud luck

If You Are That Old,

And I don't mean "old", you should know what this means. You should no longer be naive, it's just not natural. I know it takes some a long time to grow up, believe me I know, my mom still acts like a kid and she's 37. Anyway, let him know that if he doesn't want anything more, or at least to admit this is just the thing that you won't be there anymore.

Good luck and best wishes,

jennifer

Do you want to have a relationshipp with him (sex) or do you want to have a very good friend? Just make up your mind and ask him what he wants friends don't have sex this is just not working... He can break your heart, if Exclamation you Exclamation let Exclamation him Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation
belive me ....
