Ponungalungb agony auntYou're pretty young to be wrapped up in all of this intrigue. I'd say stay friends and don't get in over your head. You say he gets around. You don't want to be another notch on his bedpost do you? If you lose his friendship because you won't "put out", he's not much of a friend and you haven't lost much.

Relax and have fun!

A female reader, Hag +, writes (1 February 2007):

If you want to keep this friendship as is you must decline the invite. If you are interested in being intimate and developing a lasting love with this man, you must address this issue directly. When he asks to be intimate be completely honest about how you feel. If you two are friends as you say, then he will respect whatever your feelings are. If you feel you would become attached to this man and are afraid he won't feel the same you need to tell him. Never, ever be afraid to say no to sex. Someone who truelly cares about you will not desert you. If you want more than a friendship including sex you need to make this clear. If this man likes to 'get around' without committing and commitment is what you want, I would suggest waiting for a more serious approach from him; one directed towards commitment. Patience is virtue. In the meantime try not to close your heart to other options. Good luck.
