Guy said we're just friends but still said he wants to meet me?

[Anonymous]

I met a guy on tinder, we were flirty on our first month talking and I really felt like we mutually liked each other. But after a few months, I got confused with what he wanted from still talking with me (we didn't seem to go anywhere) so I asked for clarification and he said he sees me as his friend or like a chatmate..

I was about to end things with him (because my interest with him is not just friendship) but I really enjoyed talking to him that I couldn't end it so I just accepted that we're just friends and continued talking for another month.. :') he's not showing signs that he's interested other than being just friends, we just bicker a lot..

then recently he brought up how he wanted to meet me and that doesn't mean anything right?

I feel like I need to end things with him because we have different interest/intention in this online "relationship" but I really still want to try meeting him.. but I feel like meeting up means different to me and to him @.@

Settling for friendship and hoping he will change his mind is not the way to make him see your value, want a relationship or change his mind. Meeting him will do absolutely nothing else but strengthen your already strong feelings for him, and make the road ahead much more hurtful because you will keep wanting more, knowing that he doesn’t, and break your own heart. You can get out of this right now, maybe with your feelings hurt but not as much as they would be if you invest more time.

Well, it is Tinder. So did he want to meet you for sex? Or does he just want to meet you for lunch? There's a big difference.
