Should I stop hanging out with him before I have developed feelings for him?

Question - (16 October 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 16 October 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

There's a new guy at my work whom I have been interested in for a while, but eventually had the courage to invite him for a drink a few weeks ago. We have met up a few times since and seem to get on pretty well. I am keen on him, and he is different to all the other guys I have been meeting up with in the past. I am not sexually attracted to him now, but there is a chance of becoming in love with him. My parents are totally opposed to my actions... are they correct? Should I stop hanging out with him before more feelings develop or just continue being good friends? Please help.

This sounds like something that is going to go no further than friends. Generally, if you're attractd to someone that much, you want them sexually. If you're not feeling that, then be a good friend and nothing more.

i see no problem with hanging out with him...unless you are in the date mode. Im a little lost with the terms of your generation. My 12 year old is "going out" with a boy and she cant even talk on the phone to him yet! Lol...if you are meaning date, even casually, and he is someone who you would not consider being in a long term relationship with...then no. My rule of thumb is dont spend a lot of time going out with people that you could not potentially see yourself being with... for whatever reason. .hope this helps
