    What does he want?
    I have become friends with a mutual acquaintance recently, we admit we both fancy each other and get on well. He says he is not ready for a relationship at the moment as he is still hurt from his ex who was a golddigger, they split 10 months ago and he enjoys his freedom as she was quite a bunny boiler. At least he is being honest.

    We did have a connection when we met and he said he does want to get to know me more as he jumped into the last relationship without knowing his ex. He keeps texting 2 or 3 times a day and whilst we agreed to be friends he keeps mentioning how he mentions he misses certain relationship aspects (not sex).

    I am confused as he keeps saying he is being upfront and honest but then talks about relationships. I don't know why he would text me long texts everyday. He has gone away and when he gets back I think I should back off texting so often. Any advice?

    I think that might work out better.

    Please don't say that you of all people would think that men just wanted sex? :eek: I thought you were all anti-feminist and pro men being superior?

    He wants a relationship, but he's not quite certain about you/quite over his ex/etc.

    Yeah by the sounds of it.. he wants to get with you...misses all the excitement, loving etc from a relationship..but I think he's worried about getting hurt or you turning into his ex as well...

    Reassure him? Tho if your feeling he's going to be too much hard work then let him has some time to reflect on what he wants etc.

    I'd say he thinks of the old relationship when he thinks of starting a new one, making it seem a negative thing, and he almost certainly likes you.
    He'll take forever to make a move if you don't - guy is probably afraid of getting hurt again...
