A male friend of mine just spent an hour telling me about a girl he's been spending time with, and he is unsure of where their relationship is going. After a bit of coaxing (after the second beer there was no stopping him) he made it pretty clear that he knew where the relationship was headed - nowhere. He told me that he likes spending time with her, has fun with her, enjoys having her there to "just hang out with and watch a movie" and is hopeful that things will become intimate sooner rather than later.
The last point wasn't surprising - he is a man under the age of 70 after all - but what did confused me is why he likes all these things about her but still doesn't want to actually be with her. Even he couldn't clarify what it was, or wasn't, about her that made him sure he didn't want to date her seriously. If that`s truly the case, whatever the reason, the bottom line is he needs to leave her alone. Leave. Scram. Get outta dodge. No question about it, this girl is attached and he's hurting her more every time he answers her calls. I might have to make a follow-up phone call this weekend to see if he's listened to his dating coach...
