Search Results: platonic relationship

A lot of men seem to have many female friends. Some have been ex's and some are just women they have met through mutual friends along the way or perhaps even work colleagues. Do you keep in contact with these women such as catching up for a coffee and hanging out together, speaking on the phone, text messaging/Facebook etc for a particular reason?

Sometimes people stay in touch to keep their options open if things don't work out with current partner, some may keep in contact to get sex and intimacy elsewhere perhaps for variety, some may keep in contact simply because they like to get their flirt on and makes them feel wanted and good about themselves and some may just honestly enjoy a platonic friendship?

What's your REAL reason?

So I'm pretty sure this guy likes me, I've been told by his mom that he does. (We're both in high school and family friends... My own mother let slip to his mom that I liked her son and she told me, multiple times, she was was pretty sure he liked me.) So this guy has a brother, he's older and is like an older brother to me as well. Our relationship is VERY platonic but he'll do things like throw me other his shoulder, tickle me, touchy things. We also talk a lot and I'll hug him. On the other hand I do not hug his younger brother, the one I like. This is simply because I am not as close with him, and because I like him, I'm nervous.

Apparently his mother and my mom believe that his older brother knows he likes me and teases him about it, or that he simply does not like to see me acting the way I do with his older brother and not him. So they tell me that he may sometimes act off because he is simply annoyed with the relationship I have with his older brother and not him. Regardless he hasn't answered my text to hangout. I've texted him before and we've gotten together, for example, we went to the movies and he paid for everything so I assumed it was a date. However he does text me on snapchat... So my question is would me having a closer relationship with his brother make him less likely to answer my texts or believe I like him? Please I would love your advice I'm confused and frankly hurt that he ignored my text but still snaps me.
