I want to get him back, but as a friend.

So...

Over the past week I have come to realise that he is interested in another lady, and his feelings for her are pretty deep.

Thinking back, I guess we're much better as just friends so to me, hanging out with him is not a big deal now, I am over the fact that we wont be anything more than just friends.

However, I do think that me asking him where I stand with him and me telling him that I thought there was something there between us has freaked him out as he has stopped talking to me altogether.

Any ideas on how to just get him back as a friend? I dont want to seem too pushy but I can honestly say that I am perfectly fine with being his friend rather than nothing at all.

metalheadmom agony auntIf you were fine with just being friends, you asking him where you two stand told him you are not SURE. That means, either you are under the impression HE wants more, or YOU want more - neither of which he wants.

He is going to have a hard time wanting to deal with any of that, so leave him alone and see if he contacts you.

tennisstar88 agony auntDon't be too pushy when it comes to being his friend. Give it some time, I'm talking a month or 2 before you contact him again. Now's not the time to suggest a friendship.
