He said he doesn’t want a relationship but his best friend tells me otherwise?

[Anonymous]

So I asked the guy I’ve been dating if he’d like to move things forward and be in a relationship, he told me he doesn’t and is happy as things are now. But his best friend told me that’s not the case, and he is just not very good with his feelings and it will take him time to see how much he wants it, but that I’m the best girl he’s seen him with and that he loves me. What does this mean?

It seems like there are conflicting messages coming from your boyfriend and his best friend.

If the best friend is saying that your boyfriend is just not good at expressing his feelings and he does see a potential relationship with you, then only time will tell.

But if your boyfriend is saying that he currently wants things to stay the way they are and doesn't want to be in a relationship, then I would take his word for it and not rely on second-hand information from his best friend.

It's important to communicate directly and honestly about your expectations from the relationship.

This means the guy you’re interested in doesn’t want to date you, but he’s letting you down gently by saying he’s just not ready for a relationship. He clearly is, he just isn’t interested in you unfortunately.

It means you need to stop listening to everyone else. It doesn't matter what they say

It means his friend likes you.

Believe what he said and not his friend.
