Hi, Mere (et al). My problem is nothing compared to some of your letters (eg todays), but I'd appreciate your thoughts. I'm a 30 yo gay male who has a male friend who is pretty open about having a crush on me (very flirtatious) but the feeling isn't mutual and I have guilty feelings like I'm stringing him along (which I don't want to do as he is a friend and I do care about him). I've known him for 10 years, although most of that time I was in another relationship so the flirting only started recently after I became single. I truly do value this friendship (he's fun, energetic and we share common interests), but don't see it going anywhere else right now (after a very long relationship I see myself staying single into the foreseeable future). Is the friendship doomed since we're not on a level playing field? I know I should probably address this with him, but how without damaging his ego or our friendship? |
