Why is he asking me if we can be just friends?

[Anonymous]

Over text he writes his back with his ex his been on and off with years. I wrote to him I just had a breakup not long ago not looking to go further than a friendship. in person he was checking me out smiling at me just standing their so I smiled back to be nice then he kept looking at me like he can’t take his eyes off me. We told each other that we both attractive Than he wrote his sorry he back with his ex, his happy with his beautiful girlfriend his going be with her forever I told him that’s good he asked if we can be just friends I answered yes. On social media he acts single so people wouldn’t know his relationship status.

Ok, so your question is "Why is he asking me if we can be just friends?" In your details you say you wanted to just be friends. Sounds like you got what you asked for or am I missing something?

so his saying he wants to be friends with me to, just I only meet him a few times as friends, I don’t really know him well enough he pursing the friendship each week, I don’t see any pictures of him and her online I don’t see her on his friends list, I don’t see her on his friends list so I don’t know if his a liar or if his honest he use like me he use play hard to get with. Just the way he was acting in person with the staring at me without talking was weird

Ah, understood. So, you are suspicious that he isn't not telling the truth about being in a relationship with the other girl is what I'm getting?

Yes I’m suspicious, he Been texting me a lot lately, the way he kept looking at me Makes me think does he like me as a friend really? The way he was just standing their making a deep level of eye contact than I saw he was looking below while I wore a hoodie then when he kept looking at me thinking I’m attractive to. I’ve heard his bad news and that his a nice person. I always feel suspicious of him, he let go on his Snapchat 3 months ago he said my ex blocked him than I looked though his phone my ex just left him on seen, than he invited me over to his house two months ago saying I’m allowed over because of single bubble when I wasn’t due to we both don’t live near by. He was ears dropping on me and my mate conversation. So I’m thinking why is he asking me if we can be just friends when me and him haven’t gone further.

Id say he wants to be friends for now, but it could develop into something bigger down the road.

Once I told him I’m suspicious when I’m around him I agree to not crossing the line, due to we both were checking each other out, while he was flirting with me he said if I’m going cause trouble because I told him his girlfriend that he keeps going back to cheated on him with my last ex that she was disrespectful towards my last relationship I called her a sl*t, so did my mate, so he said anyway if I’m going course trouble we are done talking his from my youth class he told me his been with his girlfriend on and off for 5 years she cheated on him kept doing it. So I think to forget about him we use like each other.
