Search Results: guys not sharing feelings

This is all a very long story, but to make it short. He liked me in high school, I liked him in college. We dated briefly in high school and I broke up with him. Then we almost dated in college... except he told me he was just trying to get back at me for not liking him in high school. It was a mess. He said he was just using me to make up for his own loneliness. We never kissed or anything... it was bizarre.

Fast forward some.. I said we couldn't be friends, he begged and begged. I finally gave in b/c I realized it was doing more hurt than good... So we restarted our friendship. I hated hanging out w/ him at first b/c I didn't trust him. I kind of still don't?

He and I are really really bad at not being close friends. We actually like telling each other our secrets and hearing each other's opinions. I didn't want to be close w/ him like this ever again, but we seem to weasel our way into each other's lives no matter what. fml.

So two weeks ago I was very stressed. Over the phone he asked me when it was that I last got laid and with whom. He suggested I use it as a stress reliever. As we are NOT that close right now, I thought this was REALLY awkward! It's like he's checking in on my sex life.

Week later I got wasted and wrote him about how I thought it was a weird/awkward question. So last night... we have an ENTIRE discussion about sex and our sexual experiences. It was fine and hilarious sharing some silly things.

I just worry about getting too close with him again. I mean, where do we draw the friendship line? We both had very strong feelings for one another at some point in our lives and neither of us want to like the other again... so where do we stop telling each other things?

Do you think it's possible to maintain a 'just friends' kind of relationship with an individual from the opposite sex, with both parties sharing equal and mutual, non sexual emotions in the relationship? I really love how drama free guy friends are and I'm best friends with this one guy, and I want a completely platonic relationship with him. I made that clear when we first started hanging out, and I thought he understood and respected that. Lately he's been sending out signals and saying weird things, making me think that he actually thinks we're more, or that we are becoming more than just friends. I'm afraid if I confront him, that I may be just misinterpreting his signals; but I'm also afraid if I don't confront him that I'm going to end up hurting his feelings when I turn him down if/when he decides to make any moves. What should I do? Is it possible to be 'just friends'?
