Question Hi
I'M really confused about this guy that im friends with. we have been really good friends for quite some time now and we really are like best friends! we tell each other everything and it seems no matter what happens we would never loose our friendship. because we have been really close for we have started to talk abut us possibly dating and stuff.. he even kissed me! the problem is though that there is a huge part of me that whats this to happen but there is just this huge gut feeling that their is something not right about it and i don't know what to do?
should i go out with him and see where it ends up or should i just say that it isn't right? he has already been waiting for me for so long now and i really don't want to lead him on or hurt him any more than what i probably have! i really don't know how to tell him that i don't think it would be a good i idea coz i really can't see it going anywhere...
Please help me!
thanks
Answer Hi Bec,
I know that feeling. It is normal to be little confused - actually mixed feelings.
If it were in my shoes, I will go by gut feeling because most of time it is 70% accurate. I do agree friendship is very important and need to preserve your good friendship relationship.
You stated " I really don't know how to tell him that i don't think it would be a good i idea coz i really can't see it going anywhere...
(You should tell him the truth regarding above statement now instead later on.) If he really likes you a lot and wants to preserve friendship, he will respect and understand you.
Open communication and be candid with each other is big key to a healthy relationship.
