To not meet

[Lucky6266]

Okay so i have like a male friend who is supportive to me because I have some difficult issues going on.
He texts me alot and always asks me to meet but I never do for fear that it isn't right thing to do because I am in a relationship.
This friend has made so secret of the fact that he likes me so I tend to keep my distance.
I enjoy talking to him by text, phone etc but I go quiet when he mentions meeting and it upsets him because he says I'm being daft that we are just meeting as friends to have a chat. What u all think.

He suggests things like mcdonalds etc lol

Go if you want to be friends with him but make sure he knows where you stand and make sure your bf knows your going so it doesn't look like your keeping secrets.

Is it wrong to meet up with a male friend when they like u that way also.

Yes I agree that bf should be told.
This guy is always saying he knows the score.

As long as he knows the boundaries and as long as your boyfriend knows about it then there is no issue.

I really feel that for me to say I'm meeting a mate but he is male might not sound right.

Oh God what's up with me

I don't think you can continue to rely on him unfortunately. It's blurring the friendship boundary - you know he likes you, and its giving him false hope.

It's not your fault. I don't believe in 'leading people on' but he won't stop pushing the boundary whilst he still has access to your feelings.

Yes I know although he seems to accept and deal with it all

If your boyfriend has a problem with you meeting up with a friend be it male or female then that is his issue- not yours. Your problem will come if you start concealing the issue.

Im going for coffee with a male friend of mine tomorrow- will my OH like it? No. He doesnt have any platonic female friends and is neanderthal in his attitudes towards that matter. He will just have to get on with it though, because this man is my friend, I value his friendship and if I want to simply meet up for a coffee and a catch up, I will.

Bottom line is- your friend is your friend, and as long as he knows that this is friendship then go ahead. If you think you would be giving him false hope, then dont. Do not stop seeing a friend because your OH wouldnt like it for no other reason than this person is the opposite sex.

He still wants to know how I am doing etc. But he wants more in the way of friends he calls it.

Then you have to put a stop to it. It's not fair on him, you or your boyfriend.
