carhill Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 I don't get it. WHY? He is SO hard to read it is MADDENING. Why say all of that, if we're "JUST FRIENDS"?? Most potentials have been covered. My opinion is a combination of male territoriality and response to interaction with fellow Marines. Just like LS'ers will trot out all the negative potential results, so do one's peers, the most onerous one being that, when out of a man's sight and hearing, a woman will naturally be soliciting the attentions of other men. This goes on, regardless of whether it applies in your specific case. Just because he says you're 'just friends' doesn't mean that's how he feels. Here's a bit of fatherly advice.... a single man who hangs around and pays attention to you doesn't want to be your platonic friend. That's almost 100% for sure. A married or LTR man, pretty much the same, except for the small subset of those who do have healthy platonic friendships with females. That's unlikely to occur within this subset of the population (young and Marine). More experience is better information. You're young. It sounds like you have healthy boundaries. Continue along your path. Good luck.
Author usmclove Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 Has he given any indication that he is serious about you/any indication that he's in it for the long haul? Or, is he is undecided atm. Whatever the case may be, it's perfectly reasonable if he wants and IS monogamous with you, and then wants to know if you're on the same page. He invites me to do random stuff with him and his friends like going white water rafting etc. lol. Also, last time we got done hanging out, he invited me to come to his hometown with him in december, telling me how beautiful it was, and that we could stay at his moms house.
Author usmclove Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 If you believe he is worth it, wait. You're more familiar with your interactions than we are and whether or not you believe he is genuine or disingenuous. The way we behave around each other is not the way two platonic friends behave towards each other.We will be laying in his bed, while I cradle his head in my lap and we watch tv. Or, when a cute romantic song comes on the radio, we will sing it to each other lol. Really dumb stuff. Also, he used to be a bit aggressive when we first met (not violent, just playfully, acting with me like he would with some of his friends, but now he's a lot more soft spoken, and I feel like he's starting to open up a little more. EVEN with all the progress, the only thing he has been definite about, is that he is not willing to share me while he is on restriction. Other than that, he won't tell me his feelings.
