Search Results: scared to date

August 2020, me and my best friend admitted to liking each other. He told me he loves me and wants a relationship with me. I explained that can never happen 1) it’ll ruin our friendship 2) I’m meant to be a lesbian.

We’ve slept together a couple of times since admitting it, I was fighting the feelings but I ended up giving in. We haven’t slept together since November, now I can’t stop thinking about him; It’s constant.

I’ve told him I want him but I’m scared of unintentionally hurting him. What happens if we’re together and a girl comes along and steals my heart? I’ll definitely lose my best friend.
I’ve never cheated before but because I’ve never properly dated a man, I have that worry. I just don’t know what to do.

So many people have said ‘you can do so much better than him’. It’s not about looks and I know and understand him. I like his personality more.

Before someone states: ‘you’re obviously bisexual’. The truth is, I don’t know what I am anymore. I’m leaning towards homoflexible, however I’m just not having a label anymore.

Do me and him chance it and give it a go or do we just stay friends and ignore the feelings?

I have known this guy my whole life. His mum has been friends with my nan since before we were both born so we are family friends. He is 24 and I am 20. We lost contact for a bit over the years but reconnected properly 2 and a half years ago and both told eachother that we had a crush on the other when we were growing up. Since then we have spoken often but never dated. We go through the same cycle of saying we like eachother and want to make it "official" but he always comes up with something afterwards like "i have commitment issues", "I'm not ready for a relationship" or "I don't know how my mum would react". We meet up every few months and usually end up being intimate then he ghosts for weeks or months. We have a good laugh when we are together and it could be amazing if we saw eachother more often. He got out of a very physically abusive relationship with a girl where he had to get a restraining order, so I always use that as the reason he might be scared to commit. I met his mum recently which seemed like a big step cause I didn't see her for the 2 and a half years we were talking and she is the most important person in his life, but I still feel like I am getting mixed signals from him. Don't know whether it is time to move on or whether I might be getting somewhere.

I’m 32 he’s 20. I had met him because he is a family member of someone I was dating 3 years ago and we just clicked immediately. About a year ago he had to leave his moms house and I let him come stay with me over the course of this time he developed a drug addiction which ended up with me taking care of him. We sleep in the same bed together and are very close as far as friendship goes. I never thought of him in a romantic way because of our age difference but while he was away at rehab I realized I have more then just friendship feelings for him. We have both dated other people over the course of this past year and are open with each other about everything. We tell each other we love each other and he has told me (while sober) that he loves me more then any other female but has never shown me he wants a relationship with me. I want to tell him my feelings for him but I’m scared it will ruin the friendship that we have if he doesn’t feel the same.
