It all seems very positive, but he says he doesn't want a relationship

Question - (12 January 2010) 0 Answers - (Newest, )
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

ok so I have known this guy for more than 5 years and in the past few years after loosing contact have been catching up. He was always a private guy and never really opened up to me, I can understand that as he was hurt sooooo badly in the past.

He has been out socialising with my family and friends, and recently we went out on what he called a date......

we randomly met friends of his and when they asked me what was the deal between us I told them to ask him, so they did.... his reply was "we are really really good friends".

On this date he told me he liked me a lot but through work and stuff he didnt want a relationship :( I am not long out a relationship where I got treated very badly but he was always there to talk throughout it. I have always adored him and when he started opening up to me I opened up to him, so we both know how we feel, but I want to know if it will go anywhere, and if I just need to give time, time.

there is a 9 year age gap between us which doesnt bother either of us (or seem to).

There is sooo much stuff that has gone before but I dont have the time to write the novel!

I dont want to loose him but feel as he is now opening up to me about his past etc I need to build his trust. We are amazing together in every aspect and have been physical on the past.

his body language says all the right things, arm round me when we are walking, (or holding my hand) sitting with his arm a round me or/and hand on my knee or holding my hand, playing with my hair, brushing it away from my face etc etc etc.

Can someone help? It cannot just be about one thing, or he would have cut me off years ago. I even have his works number (mob) as well as his personal one so I can contact him at all times (although I tend not too as dont want to seem too full on) putting my number on his work phone must be a good sign?

He drives me wild and I love that!

any suggestions as to where this is possibly going?
