A 'hello' to everyone here. =)
But on to the matter at hand: the question posed by this topic.
I'm suffering the same problem at the moment. One of my best friends (whom I've been friends with for about 5 years now) has begun looking very attractive; I find reasons to touch him, like slapping him playfully on the back or shaking hands, to help relieve my urges to do something more. But lately, as stress has been building up inside me, I wish I could just be wth him, because I think I'm starting to fall for him (though I can't say I'm entirely certain; there are many reasons that I could be feeling this way, hormones for example). The problem is that I don't know how he'd react at all; he sends very mixed signals. He talks and acts straight, but he's only ever had one girlfriend, for a week, that didn't even get to kissing, before they split up. It's been about 3 years since then, and when we joke he hasn't found a girlfriend, he just responds, "I'm waiting for the right one," which may or not be a lie. I've said the same thing myself to my friends, trying to cover why I don't have one (when in reality, I'm not sure if I want one or not, but that's not the issue here).
So, without knowing definatively where his preferences lie makes it very frustrating, because if I knew I could defintely never be with him, I could make my heart cut the feelings that I'm experiencing, instead of constantly being in an emotional limbo. |
