It seems obvious that he wants to get to know you better; whether for friendship or more, time will tell. I would take the time he's offering to get to know him better too. In the process, reasons you think you want a relationship with him now will either become more concrete or drift away. If you rush it, you will only learn these things through heartbreak.


I met him through online. He is nice. He loves helping and encouraging people. He has genuine concern not only for me but for others too. He's sharing all his secrets. He's giving so much trust.

He is not courting but I must admit, I like him. I met him already in real and in some other months, I will meet him again.

The sad part is for some reason, I prefer if we'll just be friends. Don't know if he likes me more than a friend or just a friend but if it's more than a friend, I don't like it to be that way. I am contented that we are friends.



Oh, I get it. That's a tough one. I've dealt with this myself fairly recently, though not online. Obviously, the earlier you make it clear that a friendship is all you want from him, the better chances you have of him accepting your friendship and letting go of any other expectations he may have. Not knowing what he expects makes it difficult. I think it would be a good idea to bring it up and simply ask him what he thinks his expectations are. I know it's easier said than done. flowerforyou


Actually I want more. He has almost everything that every girl wants in a guy but the prolem is he is separated but not divorce. I don't want to be in a relationship with someone who is married. I don't wanna be a mistress orbif not a mistress I don't wanna be the reason why he'll divorce his wife. He said he will divorce his wife when he found a gf eh. He doesn't know that I like him. I want to avoid him but he did lots of things. He helped me in many things that is why it's impossible to avoid him.. he's nice, he never took advantage and he's not courting.. he's just giving his time and real concern. I don't wanna lose him that is why I prefer and I am contented that we are friends. That is why I don't want him to love me more than a friend.


See, this is why I workout...so I can run the fastest when a man says he's "married, but".

Neither. There is no love without trust, and trust has to be earned.

Maybe people who don't date outside their race aren't actually put off by a persons race, but the different looks of other races. Most relationships begin with attraction. Some people are attracted to a wide variety of looks and others are only attracted to a specific look.


IF people are put off by a look, 'Race' doesnt cover it, as people within a race have a broad variety of combinations of those looks.

two white guys who dont have the same 'look'






two black guys who dont have the same 'look'






Obviously, people within any race have completely unique looks. Nice pics though. Hubba hubba!

What I'm getting at is that some people are attracted more to blonds, redheads or dark hair...etc. Some are attracted more to light skin, dark skin, olive skin...etc. It's just a feature that draws their attention first.

I have a girlfriend who is only attracted to dark skin. She has nothing against white men or Asian men, it's just an asset she's attracted to. She's dated white men, but she didn't have the same level of attraction to them.

I guess these are people with a "type". Personally, I don't have a physical preference...though I can't say I'm not drawn to attractive men at first glance. My long term preferences are more mental and emotional.

GREAT post by ciretom. Lists pretty much what I was thinking. Toodygirl5 added a pertinent note as well.

I chanced to be thinking about this earlier today, because another often complained about idea of "cheating" got mentioned and briefly discussed by the local sports talk guys. What they were triggered by, was the old idea that looking at porn is cheating, in some peoples' thinking, and from there they started mentioning various other non-intimate things that people complain about and call "cheating."

I've tended to at least start from the idea that if the mate says it's cheating, then it is, but I've become dissatisfied with that, since it opens the door to too much manipulation and eventual possessiveness.

So maybe there's another approach to take. A new thought I had, is along the lines of, if it concerns you enough to ask, you are probably crossing your OWN lines. And if you start looking for other people to support you in your argument justifying what you want to do, it's VERY troublesome.

In this question in particular, the choice of including the word "platonic" catches me up. It reminds me of my younger days, when I realized that if a girlfriend reassured me that some guy she was talking about was a "purely platonic friend," it usually mean that she wanted to jump his bones big time. She had to be THINKING ABOUT SEX, in order to feel the need to include the term "platonic" along with the word "friend."

So all in all, I would say that if your significant other has gone to the trouble of building a relationship with someone else of the same sex as you, AND feels the need to get support from others to argue that it should be okay, AND they have to include the word "platonic" in their argument...

...it all adds up to your relationship being in big trouble.


I paused at the need for the word "platonic" myself, but assumed it was for clarification so readers would not assume "friends with benefits".

What do you say poster? Which is it?

The best of things come with open hearts and patience. Friendships cannot be rushed, but develop over time. flowerforyou

w e all have preferences, likes and disslikes when dating.

I prefer ladies who look smart in dresses or skirts but who also wear stockings and suspenders or nice tights , most women think a man liking women in nylons is a weird request. I have been called a pervert.
Why do some women feel angered at this.
I feel annoyed when women demand only bald men or really tall men but i assume this is the way on these sites.
..hmmm... why would they think you were a pervert what do you do when you first meet them ...slip them a pair of nylons and say can you please go to the ladies room and put this on please... just so I can see what you look like in them.
If so.. then yeah a little creepy and perverted..Lol..


🤣:joy:🤣


Just noticed on my phone my emoticons come out different. I just switched to my laptop and most of them are wonky.

I think it's important to stay aware of how the relationship between the person you're dating and your children progresses.

I'm not even going to look. The idea of a logarithm line-up is not that appealing to me. I'm here for friendships anyway.

You can respect someone you don't love, but can you love someone you don't respect?


Agree with you sis :blush:

Frankly, this baffles me. As a rule, women mature much earlier than men. Just when we get the men our age to finally grow up enough to tolerate, why the devil would we turn back now? 🤣

My Grandmother remarried at 82 and had 15 wonderful years with her new husband. We have no idea how long we wil be here, so why wouldn't you spend as much of that time in love as possible? :tulip:
