Sharon1961 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 There's a guy I've been friends with for a while. The other day we were goofing around and he took something I said as me coming on to him. It was very awkward and I got the "I just want to be friends speech." Now I'm faced with a couple of things. First, I want him to know that I'm okay with being friends (uh, really okay) but I don't want to lay it on too thick. In a weird way, I feel like I need to let him down easy. Like if I am too okay with this it might hurt his ego. Does that make sense? I also feel a little sad because, for some reason, whenever I've been in a scenario like this in the past the guy has ended up turning around sometime down the road and expressed romantic interest in me. And once that happens after him having expressed a lack of interest earlier I just can't get into the idea and it destroys the relationship. Why do you guys do that??!!
stace79 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Do you really need to respond to the miscommunication? I would just let it go.
stace79 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Unless I missed something else, it sounds like it would only be more awkward to bring it up again.
Author Sharon1961 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Posted July 19, 2010 I wasn't going to bring it up again necessarily. In a weird way was worried that being too okay with things would damage his ego. But if you don't pick that up at all it could very well be my imagination.
phineas Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 what exactly did you do to give him the idea you were into him as more than friends?
