writes:Hi,Is it possible for a man to show a genuine interest in a woman's hobbies/interests (by asking her about them frequently) and talk about his family with her but not be 'attracted' to her. Can men that do these things still just be friends with a woman?I'm asking because a man I met several months ago is doing this with me. He offers to take me home every night after work (he has to come up to my workplace every night, he doesn't do it just to see me) and when we're in the car, he asks a lot about my interests/hobbies. More recently he has started telling me more about his family than he had done before. He even insists on waiting for me if I am running late after work so that he can give me a ride home. He is always really nice to me - opens/shuts the car door for me, compliments me (though not TOO often), I have met his children (usually he has to go past my house to collect them from nursery after he leaves my workplace which, I believed, is why he was offering to take me home because it meant he wasn't going out of his way just to take me home, but recently on one or two occasions he has picked the children up from nursery before coming up to my workplace.Can all of this still mean that the man just wants to be friends if he is doing these things?Thanks

There's not enough info to say what his intentions are. Is this man married? If he is married then it is likely he's attracted to you, but only as a booty call. If on the other hand he's single, then I expect he just wants to be friends. Otherwise he would have made a move already.
