Sounds like the problem is that you liked or gave the impression that you liked two guys at once. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with dating more than one person at a time, but there comes a time where those guys you are dating will want to know your intentions about how things will or will not move forward. No one wants to be led on thinking one thing when that's not really the case.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a guy asking about those intentions and wanting to progress to an exclusive relationship. That being said, it sounds like Phashaud could have been a little more tactful about things rather than "telling you to choose" between them. What can I say; guys can feel jealous when there's competition too. I can see how he would think that by not answering him you had made your choice, and it wasn't him.

An option may have been to say that it was a tough question and you needed some time to put your answer into words. I've actually used that one before and a reasonable person will be understanding of that.

You shouldn't feel "stuck" with anyone. That's called settling. I'm on board with GrimmReality on that point.

If you feel apprehensive about the situation, my advice is to talk to Phashaud (do it in person if at all possible) about how you feel towards him. Tell him that Kyle is a good friend, but that you don't have romantic feelings for him if that is truly how you feel. Explain how you didn't know how to answer his question on the spot like that. If he is still interested, then great. If not, then at least you have an answer.

Next is the hard part. You have to tell Kyle what no one likes to hear; that he is a great friend, but you don't have those romantic feelings towards him (again, if that is truly how you feel).

Just my two cents. Hope it helps.

GrimmReality agony auntDo yourself and both guys a favor and leave both of them be. You can learn a valuable lesson from this that part of being an adult is taking responsibility for our actions and you would be best served by moving forward without stringing people along. The end result is usually that people are hurt needlessly because of actions such as these.

Phashaud may forgive you,he may not...and that's up to him, not you. What disturbs me even more is when you said you are "Stuck" with Kyle that speaks volumes about your lack of maturity. I suggest you grow up a bit before undertaking any future relationships, for you are ill suited for one at this point in time.
