Ok so here is the scenario and I am hoping that I gave her what seems to be the most logical advice.

My friend has a friend whom she has known for quite some time; however, for the first time of their entire friendship, this is the first time that they have spent so much "friendship" time together.
He is very affectionate with her and very gentle as well. Nicely massages her feet and whenever he is near her, he always touches her. He stares continuously into her eyes and drops little hints about them having a relationship. Considering that he has always lead her to believe that he is not seeking long term relations or even marriage, she simply brushes him off. Nevertheless, if he is by her home and she is cooking, he goes in the kitchen with her and hugs her from behind as well as rests his head against her back. Never once has he pressured her for intimacy. He is very playful with her but seemingly very affectionate.
I told her that it appears that he may have feelings for her that goes beyond friendship, but she does not want to think that way for fear of having high hopes.
What do you all think, do you think that he may be sending her secret messages or have I misinformed her?

So this friend is you right? HAH. anyways my guess is dude has got feelings for the girl, but he is playing it safe to make sure the girl doesn't get freaked out. It would probably help if "your friend" returned the affection and made hints of wanting a relationship too, things might not be so...ackward...

Why do you think that he's sending mixed signals? He feels enough chemistry with her to snuggle up to her and drop hints about a relationship, but he doesn't want a commitment. It seems to me like he has been pretty clear, but he may be trying to wear her down through seduction little by little. Just my two cents, of course.

i agree with this post. He's being touchy feely, he hints he wants a relationship, and has also made it clear it's not long term. So my vote goes with he's trying to hang in there in hopes of an affair or catching her in a weak moment.

If she likes him, she should go for it but before they have sex, she's got to make it clear that she wants a real relationship from him. If she says nothing about what she wants, then she will end up in a crappy FWB situation. And he's not going to feel guilty because all along, he told her clearly that he wasn't interested in committed LTR. She must speak to him and not be afraid to tell him that she won't be his casual f- buddy. And if he can't be a real boyfriend to her, then good riddance.
