A lot of my friends are saying I would be good with this guy. But he says he just wants to be friends and he just recently started going out w/ one of my friends. What should I do?

nothing. be a good friend and respect what they have between each other. don't try to be with someone that is already with someone else. there are a lot of people out there, why fight over someone especially if your friend is dating him?

Keeping contact with him is what you're doing wrong, he is just making sure you don't date anyone else until he finds a replacement. At the end you will end up hurt because when he find someone else he will tell you that you guys were only friends.

Let him go, obviously, he wanted your friend and he realized that you were still the girl for him.  What makes you think, that he wont do this again.  He finds another girl that he is attracted to and says   f-you...i want her now.\n\nGirl, go find a good  man becuz he doesnt even deserve you.

You seem to have an agenda already even b4 you give yourself a chance with this guy. 'What if'\nquestions are something to consider...such as...what if you really like him after going out with him; what if after going out with you and he doesn't like you? Are you afraid of rejection? There is no harm in going out even for a meal with him and then telling him that you would rather stay friends and nothing more than that. At least he will understand. Making assumptions will not help as you both don't even know each other. Sounds like he just has a 'crush' on you in which case, it is easy to justify that. Nothing will work if you totally ignore him...that even hurts more I guess! But do at least give him the benifit of the doubt! Good luck!

Well, first of all I think that you should follow your heart but being friends can develop whatever it is that you had in a relationship. Sometimes they are right when they say if you love something so much you have to let it go but if it was meant to be it will come right back and this is one of those instances. So be patient and be a good Friend and you never know but don't put all your eggs in one basket, meaning if it's not meant to be , be prepared to move on and you should anyway. He is young and he want to be single for a while and I must say I have to respect him because he could have done what the typical man do and cheat.

Hey, if the worst that happens is that you remain friends than so be it.  True friends are hard to come by.  Don't throw that away.  UNLESS-HE is still pining over you and wants more than just the friendship, than I would say, so long-you don't want to lead him on either.

Continue doing what you are doing because apparently it's working. There is no bad blood and you two are getting along so don't change on him, because that will not guarantee that i will stay like that, and if you like him, its best to keep it as friends thats from experience unless he has expressed that he likes you. If not then you gotta suck it up because its better to have not said anything and keep him as a close friend than to say something and chance losing him as a friend.

It sounded to me that he just wanted you to be a friend only, at least at this stage. Try to cool yourself the passion from him and don't push him or yourself to be too emotionaly involved with him. If he really cares about you more than a friend, he would keep dating you no matter how many dates you're going to have (unless both of you enter in a serious relationship). You'll get a better picture of how well compatiable of both of you and realize more about his feelings toward you if you "step back" and "observe". It'll be better for both of you.

Tell him that one of your friends likes him a lot and it would hurt her feelings if you were to say yes to him but you want to be good friends with him in case she changes her mind.\n\nIf he asks who it is, tell him she told you not to tell because she's too shy and she's not ready for him to know yet.\n\nAlso, If you told him you aren't allowed to date then it would seem odd if you went out with someone else, so I don't think that would be a good idea.\n\nGood Luck!

I've been in this situation.  (Actually I had two friends like this one guy, and used me to get to him since I knew him well.  He wasn't interested in either of them.)  Just be honest with your friend.  Don't give her/him false hope.

Just remember that you are fine and doing what you need to do at this time. Their reaction is about them. Any man that would speak to you in that way was never a friend. Some guys play the friend role while waiting for the opening to move into the next stage. All you need to do is make sure you are very clear about what you need and then they have all the facts to make an intelligent choice whether they wish to put time into the relationship or not. Don't try to push a friendship with a guy that you know wants more. Let him go and then he will decide on his own if he wants to be just friends or if he needs to move on. Just make sure you are doing what is best for you and then everything else will fall into place.\nLove & Light

What kind of a friend are you really? You say you are really good friends with him, but you want to destroy his relationship with someone he loves for your own personal gain?\n\nYou need to show some respect for yourself, and your guy friend, or he won't be liking you even as a friend.

It always hurts me when I see people breaking up...If they were no match why did they embark on their friendship in the first place...Was the guy being nice and suddenly changes?If he was being nice before and suddenly changes..The reason for this change might be because he found out that your friend is head over heels in love with him and as a result he feels he can treat her the way he wants....Tell your friend to try and make things right with him...Let her have a heart to heart talk with him...If he's not forthcoming.then let her leave him...There are a billion other responsible guys outside afterall....

It sounds like he does like you but isn't ready to make it more evident yet.  Relationships that are built on a solid foundation of friendship last longer than those that are just built on passion.  Invite him when you are going out and let things develop as they do.

Why not.  You know what you want...go for it.  It's always better to start out as friends.  You already know him and he's comfortable with you.  Just do exactly what you've written.  Strike up the conversation and see where it goes, tell him that you would like to date him and see what happens.  Don't be afraid...if it isn't happening, you still have a friend in him.  Good Luck
