[quote=Anonymous]So, I am a straight woman, and I have this male friend who I have been pretty good friends with for a couple of years now. We got along like gangbusters from the second we met, and initially at least, I KNOW he was interested in it being more than friendship, at least casually, although at the time, I was not in a position to be able to consider that. Lots of flirting on his end--eventually, he made a physical pass that he aborted after realizing that he had startled me, and we've never spoken of it. At no point did he actually use his words to actually communicate what he wanted, what he was feeling, etc.

So, now we've sort of fallen into this deeply emotionally intimate friendship--my guess that is that the only person who might know more about him than I do is his ex-therapist, and he's pretty sensitive to what's going on with me too. There's definitely some mutual affection--I might have thought that maybe I had fallen into more of a little sister role for him since he had stopped actively flirting, but he, for sure, doesn't treat me like that. When we're together, he still treats me like a date--we share food off the same plate, we talk about EVERYTHING (you know, except us, lol), he never wants to let me pay for anything, is quick to share his jacket, etc. The emotional/intellectual chemistry is off the charts, and I think the physical is probably still there, but we've just put up this platonic wall blocking it. I do think it's entirely possible that he's still very interested, but doesn't want to be pushy and also very much values my friendship enough to be cautious.

I am now in a position to maybe think about more with this friendship, and I am not against sucking it up and making a move, but I guess maybe I need someone neutral (especially men!) to give feedback on the situation before I have enough guts to do it.[/quote]
