Hey so I met this guy awhile back, totally into him, found out he also had a crush on me but before that we were developing a really cool friendship. Then as soon as we discovered we liked each other, he backed off. Now to be fair I did ask him to, because we were just getting to know each other. However things kind of dive bombed from there. It was one of those weird, do we flirt or not flirt, do we talk or not talk. So the last thing that occurred was I told him I wanted a man who would pursue me and since he wasn't I was moving on (there is a big age difference between us. I'm older, he's much younger). He tells me that a long time ago he told me he didn't want to date me because he didn't want to jump into a relationship with me and end up hurting me down the road if it didn't work out. That's not the way the conversation went.
But anyway. we obviously liked each other, and as far as he knows I am moving on. But I don't want to. I want to be his friend. I want the friendship back with him that I had originally. What is the likelihood with men that just friends could turn into something more especially since in the beginning there was attraction to begin with?
Next time you contact him you could bluntly say, "I just want to be friends for now. I'm not moving on to another friend, I still wanna talk with you. " And if he continues the relationship, push it after a while and see if he wants another shot with you.
