Is he a friend..ore a boyfriend?

Question - (28 March 2012) 1 Answers - (Newest, 28 March 2012)
A female United States age 30-35, *lexis** writes:

Me and my friend D met our freshman year, and we have been friends ever since (were seniors now). We drift apart, but something always happens (like our friends death) and we become really close friends when we reconnect. I have had feelings on and off for him, but I was too hung up on my ex-boyfriend to pursue anything with D. Than D was in a relationship for about 2 years, and it just ended officially (they were on and off in the end, but they both have moved on and are in relationships). D's isn't very serious; he says "shes not the one".

We have been talking constantly, and it gets very flirty. Last weekend we hung out and we held hands and it seemed more than friendly... I felt like he was trying to kiss me. I kept doing things to get away from anything happening so I could think more seriously about what I wanted. But the weirdest part was that it wasn't awkward... It was all very comfortable.

But i'm confused about what to do... Is it a bad idea to get into a relationship since its only been a month since his serious one? Should I let things play out and stop trying to stop things from progressing? Are friendships to relationships just a bad idea?

Any advice would be very helpful, and thank-you for taking the time to read my post.

Cole Turner agony auntYou don't want to be his re-bound girl! Friendships to relationships can be the best relationships ... as you should already know that person well and feel comfortable being with them. I would play the long game here and if he is really interested he will keep!
