Likes me but just wants to be friends.
So i met this guy on a date a few times just spending time by sea front and he says he likes me but because of his job not having strict hours the sme every week he doesnt want to be in a relationship where he keeps letting the girl down 24/7 which is understandable but then he said "u know just cause i want to be single doesnt mean i dont like you but doesnt mean id be happy if you dated other people cause id like to know that your only into me" again thats fair enough but i just dont get how someone can think they can tell me what to do when there not actually with me and refer to me as "a friend" which ofcorse i am.. but today he said to a mate "she aint my gf were just mates she knows thats all its going to be i like us as friends" im guessing either he is going off me slightly and finds it more comfy just stayin friends forever or do i hold back just incase hes waiting for time to pass? so confusing but cause i really like him i go back home on a downer mood cause i didnt get one of those nice hugs goodbye or that cosey hug whilst watchin a film.. someone help me get my head around this please
