Should I stop being his mate

Tagged as: Family, Friends<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (23 January 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 23 January 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I met a guy on my University course a few years ago and have been friends with him since. He's not in all my classes but when we are, we often work together and chat alot. And it didnt take long before I got his number so we can arrange meetings out of lectures. I have enjoyed meeting up with him when possible. We often go to restaurants for a catch up or have a night in with films etc. There is only a year age gap between us and am enjoying being friends with him. However, he has a girlfriend and as I am currently single, my parents are disagreeing with me being mates with him as I should be finding potentials. Should I stop and move on? Please help.

If he's just a friend, there's no reason why you can't have his friendship and still go looking for 'potentials'.

If you want more than friendship then the best thing to do is wait until he's single. If he wants more than friendship he would do well to finish with his girlfriend. Maybe he wants his cake and to eat it as well? If so, he's no doubt enjoying all the attention he's getting from both of you, but it'll turn nasty sooner or later if that's the case.
