Friend zone

[Dawn1609]

So I'm in love with this guy he isn't perfect I'm not gonna pretend, he comes with baggage and a very cute 3 mth old son we have been getting on great and he has been staying at mine .
(sleeping on sofa) he has had a rough year and I have tried to be a supportive friend today after asking if he could bring his son round ( we have been friends now for 9mths I know about the son but haven't pushed for more) but after that he explains that I'm his best friend and he doesn't feel anything more from me intimately

Sorry it posted before I finished,
I was just wandering if anyone else has managed to get out of "friend zone" or should I just accept he won't want a relationship with me ??

You just have to take him at his word. Sorry.

Yes, but more importantly why haven't you recognized the warning signs in the state of his life? Do you really honestly think this man is ready for a relationship? If I were you I'd spend less time with him, and get out much more and meet new men, assess them wisely, for the dogs you lie down with equal the hairs you end up covered with x no dugs, alcohol, child hood problems, no police and records, no history of suicide threats, no one who is homeless or who tells stories of fighting or chaos xxx

If he fancied you he'd be with you by now, nothing is going to convince him to get out of the 'friend zone' because he's not into you.
