Why can't we just see how things go instead of just being "friends?" Has he led me on?

Question - (1 May 2007) 1 Answers - (Newest, 1 May 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hi, I'm from Romania, but I am living in Britain while I am at University. I have tried internet dating as I was lonely in the UK and have met several guys, but now I have a problem. I feel really confused. I have been dating a really nice guy for about a month. We have had a great time, he has always been a gentleman and he didn't seem to want to just get me into bed like a lot of guys I met. He never even kissed me or tried to.

He took me out for dinner, took me out for picnics and walks, but never tried anything on with me. I wanted something to happen last week, as I think that I have fallen for him, but before I told him, he said that he just wanted to be friends. He is 33 and I am 24 and he said that he felt that there was a bit of an age difference between us and that he really wanted me to be his friend. He said that I was beautiful and one of the most amazing women he had ever met, but that he was looking to meet someone to settle down with in the next couple of years and maybe have children with. I certainly don't want that just yet, as I am doing a PHD.

I feel that he has led me on a little bit, but he said that he was just getting to know me. I really would like to be with this man as he seems really sweet and nice, but he in adamant he just wants to be friends.

Why can't he just be with me for now and see how things go? Should I no longer be friends with him? Has he led me on?

A female reader, trueheartconfused United States +, writes (1 May 2007):

When a man really likes a woman they take things slow.From what you described he seems really really likes you . But he is already 33 and men his age will be thinking about finding a wife and getting married, you are not ready for that yet.

If he's slept with you and told you he loves you and wants to

have a different relationship with you , he will be leading you on, but he is not , he told you exactly what he feels , he really likes you , cares about you but both of you want different things in life right now.

Actually the choice is yours, who knows , in a few years after you finish your PHD , you might also want a man and family of your own, if he is still around at that time, you might still have a chance with him.

Good luck.
