Does he want to be more than just friends?

If he is only making comments about the two of you being together when you are alone, I don't think he is very serious about creating a different relationship.  If he says these things in front of others, then he probably wants to pursue a romance with you.

Sounds like a little bit of a player. Maybe he wants to go out with you but would like to see other people at the same time. Not a serious relationship.

Do men always assume that you want more than friendship?\n\nIn both questions: NO.

not necessarily...he could just be going through something....maybe he's depressed or doesn't know what he wants. give him space and see what happens...

Why don't you just be friends with him in the time being, since he seems to want that and see if it'll blossom to something more in the future.  If he really likes you, after spending more and more time with you, he'll want more than just friendship.  If he doens't, then he really doesn't like you like he says.  good luck.

Go for it.  Life is to short to sit around womdering what might have been.  Ask him out on a date.  Maybe he doesn't see you as more than a friend because he doesn't want to lose your friendship.

i say yes, meet the guy someday, but as for whether he has "feelings" for you or not... i am not a mind reader. can't help you there... but i think i can say that he thinks you're a good friend...

I think that might be his way of testing the waters with you, I had a guy friend do the same thing with me "I want to meet someone like you" You have to ask yourself if you would want to persue something with him or not, from the way it sounds not. \n\nThis is one of those time when subtle wont work I think you just need to come out and ask him if he is hinting that he wants more. Just tell him you have been getting a different vibe from him lately and you want to know.

If you know his past then there should be no question, but since you asked.......... don't be available all the time, even if you want to hang out. It will put him to the test. Either he will stop calling, or he will call more which could mean that he is really interested. You say he has been a player ; start a game, but in order to win you have to have distance from him, and last but not least DON'T LOOSE YOURSELF!!!!!!!!! (really important) Know at all times who you are and what you want ; be a little selfish.

Chances are he's felt the same way at one time or another.\nYour timing's off.  You can still be friends, but you need to try to keep your feelings in check, because you could lose him as a friend.  If its meant to be it will happen \nyou cant rush it, and you may change your mind. Just support him like a friend should it will all turn out the way it should.

i say you should tell him if his not willing to be in a relationship then he needs to keep his hands to his self. trust me only negative things turn out from those type of situations. once he says he just wants to be friends but is still all touchy feely he thinks he has you right were he wants you and then sooner or later watch he'll be in a relationship. but more than likely it wont be with you.

It's the nice comfy sweatshirt thing.  You see, in moving 1/2 way across the country, he had to give up his home, the folks he casually said Hi to everyday, his favorite pizza joint, etc.  He's lonely at his new place and has decided he wants friends.  Instead of letting them develop, he wanted some already instant made.  Well, there you are.  He already knew you, etc.  \n\nI had this happen to me.  Yes, he's interested.  Yes, you can have a relationship.  However, with everything being new to him now (but him learning it later on) that there will come a time when he doesn't need so much attention ... and he may develop into the guy you knew when he was in town.\n\nI wish I could say "Go for it."  My problem with trying it out is that he really does need to stand alone for a little bit, so you aren't the sudden substitute for his lack of companionship.  It gets pretty draining and depressing being both a person's newfound companion but also his blame when he feels he needs other friends.  You don't need that.\n\nGood luck!

His true intentions have been revealed.  Why do you want to be friends with such an immature person?  \n\nCut contact with him.

You answered your own question, as humans we are programmed to want what we cant have. But remember this, you had him once, and your heart told you that you made better friends. Remain friends, and be the best at it

maybe it is actually just a friend, ask him

It seems to me that he was sending out signals that he wants to be more than friends with you.  When you didn't respond, he felt like you weren't interested in him.  In my opinion, you should talk to him.  Explain why it isn't practical for you to date right now.  If he's a true friend he'll understand.  Who knows, maybe you can leave the door open for a more meaningful relationship in the future.\n\nGood Luck!

It sounds like he is indecisive. He really likes your company but maybe not sure about anything more. Or maybe he is making up his mind by visiting you often. Whatever the answer is just enjoy your time with him. Love and romance is always important but friendship is the key to any relationship!
