Well, I think that I and most women would have been out of there a long time ago. Why waste time with someone who isn't completely, honestly, obviously and publicly ga-ga about you?

well, because I have compassion for his situation. It can't be easy to tell everyone for the past 10+ years you would never date a friend's ex and then turn around and start dating a friend's ex.

but, at the same time, I don't want to be a sucker, either.

I can't exactly ask anyone IN the group for advice lol.

The only choices are:

1. Continue as things are (occasional casual sex, in secret, him being 'confused/contained') or

2. Cut bait and stop the casual sex with him and spend your time dating others.


Those are the only choices you have. Everything else is not in your control.

I'm going to be harsh, SunshineFlower - but what are you doing trying to date your ex's best friend? That's a serious violation of the bro code! Of course the dude is going to be conflicted about being in a relationship with you. He probably likes the intimate attention (and it's forbidden, so in some ways it's more appealing) but he sounds like he has some sense of loyalty to his friend, so he really doesn't want to get involved.

Do the guy a favor and don't try to pursue anything. If he's truly interested, he'll come find you. Otherwise, you're just putting him in turmoil.

Oh dear God, SF. You already know, you just won't admit it to yourself. Drop this guy as a "possibility." If he tries to not "let you" talk to other guys, say "EXCUSE ME" in a firm voice and turn back to the guy you're talking to. Period.

Who cares what he wants at this point? You know what you want (or I think you do...I could be wrong): a real relationship, where you know the person likes you and you don't have to play a million games to guess motives.

Maybe the dude wasnt at "full mast". I had women mistakenly think I was at "full mast" only to be shocked that "mast" was only at 1/4 or 1/2 full.

He said he's not sure if he likes you, or essentially just wants to do you.

Why would this be acceptable to you?

If I get to full mast, you better be ready to ride them waves.

And if you mutiny off the boat, Well them waves are going to keep moving, just at a different angle.
