I will try to keep this brief. I am interested in my guy friend. I know he liked me but was really shy. I was still seeing my ex boyfriend becasue I am close with his kid, and that was hard on me. Now I am interested in my friend , do not want to ditch the kid, (I think it's wrong for a kid to loose someone just becasue it doesnt work out with the parents.) But how do I , or do I explain what was going on when I stopped spending time with my male friend. I stopped becasue everything was just too overwhelming. (I didn't want the break up) Any advice? Say something or just keep quiet? If explain, what to say? He won't ask, he's a passive guy. thank you

My suggestion would be a casual activity together for starters - hiking, mini golf, bowling, an afternoon at the beach or a water park, a funny movie. A non-threatening environment for your shy friend. See how things go and where the conversation leads you. If you end up sitting up half the night talking and sharing on a very personal level, tell him what was up before with your ex. If the opportunity doesn't present itself on the first date, it will, in time, as you get to know each other better. Good luck!

I'm not going to comment. I'm afraid my post will get DELETED.
