Am I a *****? One of my guy friends has a big crush on me, and we work together. Sometimes he'll stick around after his shift to talk to people, but it's mostly to talk to me (he basically admitted it himself). So he's staying an extra hour or two, sometimes even up to 4 hours, for me but I don't want to date him.

wat do

why would you say that?
Why not?

Wait until he makes a move and say no.

Mehh, he'd get over it. Time heals all wounds, am I right?

Maybe I should just get with him, honestly. The guy I've had feelings for, for a while, has been dating his girlfriend for a loooong time, so I need to get over him somehow.

Not the ones I inflict
Eh, it happens.

Settling is horrible and you'll end up hurting him more than if you just left him out to dry. Besides, you don't get over heroin addiction by settling for coke.

erm i dont really ged it but ok sure be "besties" with someone you dont even know or have met just talk to a random person and say you friends no prob!
@Envy I dont think you understand the concept of friends but whatever!
who cares?
YOLO i guess? :rolleyes:
I never said anything about ~besties~
just talking about how mutual interests can lead to meaningful friendships. that seems to be the common way to make friends: mutual interest.

He wants to go balls deep in ya, lol. But as a man, I think is best if you make yourself clear as soon as possible, make him know that you don't to be in any kind of relationship with him except just friends. Tell him he's not your type or something so at least he knows a reason (but don't tell him you're gay, that prob could turn him on, lol). Is best to do this, when he tryes to approach you of course.

Yeah, I know that will probably hurt him, but is better if you do it now that if you let it slip, because overtime his crush on you will grow even more and it could be more painful for him.

Or... **** it, maybe you could give him a chance, why not? who knows, you might end up liking the guy.

I'm torn. I could either smoke weed and smack him over the head with a mallet, like Teran suggested, or I could just give him a chance. Why is love so complicated?

I say talk to him or something. If you don't like him at all, then tell him that and be clear about it.

If you like him even in the slightest, think carefully as to whether you like him less because of your crush on the other person or not. Then after some long thought, talk to him about it and tell him yes or no.


Or after you think about it, hang out with him! Pick some new restaurant to go to and see if you hit it off outside of a work situation. If not, tell him. If you do, tell him. Either way you get to try out a new restaurant.

I'll be honest, I could definitely see myself dating him if I didn't already have such strong feelings for someone else.
So I guess I should try out a restaurant, see how it goes. No harm in that.

It is not, is you who makes it complicated, just chill and have fun.

he could probably help you forget those feelings, srs.

Sounds good.

I really don't have anyone to like right now

It's kind of a weird feeling

Hi

So my last two relationships ended with the girl telling me that I'm "mature beyond my years" and "you'd be perfect.. if I was a few years older".

I spend %75 of my free time playing video games.. the irony.

Anyways, I understand that the latter quote can be taken out of context to portray me as a sexual predator so get your laughs out now. *waits*
Okay really, I'm 22. I rarely drink/smoke. I work full time. I like video games. I was a philosophy major. I'm really confused about how those two relationships turned out because that's not something you hear a girl/woman say very often. I'm beyond trying to get them back, but like

I'm actually starting to wonder why people would want to hook up for long terms

Don't you get bored of being stagnant?

I think the only reason they do is because their scared they are going to end up alone for their life.

Have you ever actually been in a long term relationship, Psycho?
Never been in a relationship at all

But if it's anything like everything else in life, a couple years and I'm sick of it

I'm personally happy in my relationship. It'll be 4 years as of may 14th, and my boyfriend has been close since grade school (we've been friends for a LONG time)
He's awesome

That's why a lot of relationships fail or end up in one or both of the people cheating. You have to keep the spark alive somehow, even if it's true love, if you plan on it lasting for the long haul. That's also why you shouldn't settle unless you're both willing to accept that it won't be endgame for you guys.

Wow, congrats Lokii! That's pretty awesome and I'm jealous. How did you guys actually start dating?

They're just not looking for anything super serious right now, is all. Especially around that age (I'm guessing they're a little younger than 22?), a lot of girls (and guys too) don't really want to commit to anything too serious and just want something a little more casual or fun. Obviously there are exceptions.
Even if you're not explicitly looking for a serious long-term relationship, the fact that they see you as that mature makes them think that's the case.

Orrrrr, and this is more likely, them saying "mature" is just a nice way of calling you boring. I'm not saying you are, just saying that might be what they're trying to say.

That sounds like a big pile of bull****. If I had to take a guess, I'll say these women were actually trying to say: "YOU'RE A BORING GUY!"
