Why has my friend started flirting with me? Is he just playing around?

A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

I have been friends with this guy for a long time now. I never in a million years would have thought he was interested in me until he started flirting with me. Him and I always talk about our relationships and everything. Recently, he started to show me that he really likes me. The confusing thing for me is that it's all via txt. It's never been an actualy phone call or even getting together. He always says, let's get together or how much he would really want us to hang out. But nothing ever happens. I'm just serously so tired and confused. I obviously don't want to be the first to spell out my beans and not sure if he only sees me as a friend or actually likes me or what. He is 37 so just seems silly that he would act like this w/ his friend of many years. Like I said, all of our conversations are via txt and they all get initiated by me. We will txt for hours anywhere from 5-9 hrs but no physical contact and that's annoying. So, what's wrong w/ my friend? Is he just playing around? I don't get it.

Thank you everyone for your response. I'm just afraid of talking to him about it for fear of rejection. Since I'm pretty much the one who initiates the txts, I htought maybe I shouldn't txt him for a week and see if he contacts me. Then I can probably bring it up. Honestly, I'm so confused and I really like him but don't know how to go about solving it once and for all. My biggest worry is that I might get rejected and I would lose a friend and I know it's silly. he's a nice guy and always responds to me no matter when I send him a txt or whatever it's regarding. It could be about work, a relationship, buying a car you name it. So, even though we don't hang out I consider him a good friend. So it is kinda of a dilemma in a sense that if I make things awkward, (although he is the one who took things to the next level via txt already) then I'll lose his friendship. Please let me know what you think.

read the ladder theory. it basically says that guys can never only be friends with a girl, its obviously debatable whether its true or not however maybe he likes you!

good luck x

No watered down advice here! agony auntHe could be too embarrassed to face you face to face, after all he did take this friendship to another level. Texting is NOTHING like the REAL thing! And maybe you should initiate a phone call, and see how that goes. And later maybe a date, it has been known that platonic friends wind up married. Good Luck!
