Leading Me On…
So what does it mean when someone says that?
In as many days, I have been told twice that they didn’t want to lead me on.
Does that mean they are interested but being cautious or that they aren’t interested at all and that is the polite way of saying no?
I find myself in yet another situation where I really like this guy and he has said that he doesn’t want more than just being friends cuz he doesn’t want to lead me on.
It’s very frustrating. I want to be with him because he has told me how he has been hurt by former boyfriends and “friends”. I want him to know that I really do like him and that I really just want to hold him and prove to him that not all guys are out to take advantage of him. I see him on our “non-dates” and find myself wanting to reach across the couch and hold his hand or to put my hand on his shoulder in support. I’m a very touchy-feely kind of guy in general and it hurts that we haven’t even had as much as a hug.
Guess I have to continue to hear how he is being taken advantage of, meanwhile I’m sitting there wanting to prove him wrong…

Hmm, I’ve always had the impression that people who have been “hurt” by a former boyfriends need more time to grow themselves. It really has nothing to do with you. It’s totally him. I say move forward and prosper.
