Should we be friends or just stop talking?

[Anonymous]

So I met this guy in a dating app about 3 weeks ago. We went out 2 times and I realized I just didn’t like him in a romantic way. I told him this and he suggested we keep being friends: we have a lot in common and talk very naturally so I said yes. I also saw this opportunity to kind of just know him better and see if I start liking him. Yesterday we were talking and he kind of exploded about how he feels. He told me he really likes me and that he could treat me good and that he hopes I give him a chance someday. I just don’t know what to do because I feel so bad and really pressured about his feelings, and I dont know if its a good thing to keep being friends since I can’t reciprocate his feelings right now and obviously he is still trying.

End the friendship. Number one I hate dating apps because people feel like you automatically owe them romance before something natural comes out of it, two anyone on a dating app has no intent on being just friends. A friendship would work if this happened organically but unfortunately with dating apps this attempted friendship is not going to work.

Let this man go free, if your posts are like the similar pink anon posts your just going to torture him. Let him find someone who will love him.

It doesn't sound like he can accept just being friends- you gave him a chance to be friends, but he could not contain his romantic feelings for you.
