You liked her for quite awhile. But you did not tell her for about a year. why? Does did happen to any of you??

This does not happen to me, but to a friend. The guy told me he is not ready. Not ready? He is 30+ . Yet he won't let my friend knows that he likes her . Isn't he afraid that he is going missed her if he doesn't step forward soon?

I don't have this kind of patience and I admire for having it. Personally, I would go CRAZY!!!!

He probably needs to get his life together first.

So the friend is 30 with a junior high mentality?

That results in being forever alone.

That is what he said. Granted, the guy is extremely busy. He has his hands on too many projects at work, work late hours, etc...but still....I just don't get it at all.


SD4020, can you explain how he has a junior high mentality?

How is he financially?

Maybe he feels his life isn't in order yet.

Or he may be afraid of rejection - some people never learn to handle that, and it results in them being shy.

If a guy likes me, I would rather him tell me.

Although, in most cases it has caused complications since I didn't like them back. I can't really talk about this though since I am often too shy to tell guys how I feel about them. I just know holding in feelings is worse than not telling them. As of right now I don't believe I am well established to have a relationship yet.

He might feel he needs to prepare himself for a life change and if he is willing to work less.Share time with another.Relationships are work and fun rolled up in one.

It's usually a lot harder if it's a fellow co-worker. I can't tell if it is a coworker or not, from the OP's story. I don't blame him though. He could tell her he likes her but then what? He's works a lot, doesn't take a lot of time off. It would be pretty difficult to fit a relationship in at that time. Then again, if he wants a relationship with anyone, he'll need to make some changes or sacrifice a party of his life style.

Maybe that's the problem. He feels that he is not at the point he can take it down a notch yẹt

LoL They are coworker yes. However, he is leaving in a year because of his private business. Well, it's his plan at least.





Anyway, I guess I understand now. I am a very impulsive person and it would KILL me if I keep it inside, but for him, I have to admire his patience. Well, his lost, I think my friend is going to date someone else this week.
