He's not going to text is he?

[Unrequitedrequited]

(Wo)manned up and told lovely guy I liked him more than is should so I didn't want to see him anymore. He has been my friend for a long time - mutual friend of ex dh (we separated 4 years ago).

If spent months pining for him before and i was trying to stop myself developing feelings for him again.

He told me he didn't know if he wanted me to stop having feelings for him and said he wanted to see me again to 'see how things went'. Then he told me he'd always had feelings for me and that he'd had to watch me and ex dh get together and split up when I would have been much better suited to him.

He asked me If I wanted to watch a film with him and I said yes. But I haven't Hearn anything from him since. It's been two days.

It's totally ridiculous but I have no appetite at all and I feel physically sick.
Now I'm miserable and waiting to hear from him but wishing he had just left things in a way . If he wasn't sure wouldn't it have been the easy way out for him?

Sorry this is so long, trying to condense it all and not leave out any thing relevant is tricky.

Shit. Wwyd?

Don't bother OP, keep your dignity, Back away.

He is taking up too much space in your head that could be used for something better. He knows how you feel. Stop massaging his ego.

DO NOT TEXT HIM TO TELL HIM YOUR FEELINGS

It won't change anything, you'll feel crap and he'll tell everyone you're a nutter.

He isn't a good potential boyfriend, he is a good friend. I know plenty of guys like that so don't feel duped. Just chalk it up and move on.

I had this with a friend just after I split from XH, I'd been having thoughts about this guy for a while, but being married I hadn't acted on it and, if I'm honest, I thought I wasn't attractive enough for him either. We spent lots of time together with our DCs and then when I was single we went out for a drink, ended up snogging and it got quite heated. He said he'd take me out for dinner the next week.

He texted to ask when I was free, I sent him 2 possible days. Nothing. The following week he texted again, apologising and asking when I was free. I replied with 2 days. Nothing! The next time he asked I said "You're crap at texting, I'm not doing it anymore. If you want to see me you know where I live".

6 months later (I'm happily in love with someone else!) he texts again.

Block & delete. Tosser.

Thanks for the reality check!

Good for you telling him where to go! Wish I'd not hung on hoping so long!!

Hi again as I said above, I had this situation. It has taken me quite a few months to get over it because I felt like I had been made a fool of by someone who was a friend & someone I thought old enough to communicate (40s)

Now I can see the funny side - he told me I was beautiful but then he also told me he wanted to fuck me over a mangle?! I mean ffs that's some specific sexual shit!

Yea I also called him on his behaviour, he probably thought I was nutty but then I spent an evening with friends & a bottle of wine laughing about manglegate......very therapeutic! :)

You will heal and remember you have to filter female friends too for shit behaviour x
