Is this relationship worth
pursuing?
Dear Positive Way:
A guy friend of mine and I have known each other for a couple of years now.
A mutual friend set us up about a year and a half ago, and we dated off and
on for a long time. However, I would always hear from other people that he
was interested in other girls, and at one point he told my best friend (who
was dating his brother) that he'd "always loved her" (we weren't dating at
the time). I always get mad at him, and when I do, all he does is leave and
refuse to talk about it...in fact, usually after I yell at him we break up.
Right now we're good friends, and he's been there for me through some really
tough times. The trouble is, I'm still attracted to him, and I think he
*might* be interested. I really do love him, although I'm not at all sure
he feels that way about me. Is this relationship worth pursuing? Also, how
can I make some positive changes between us, and convince him that it's ok
to fight now and then? signed, Sylvia, age 18
Dear Sylvia: Thank you for your email. I am not sure he
is the guy for you. I think you should continue the friendship and not
pursue anything else at this time. Men in general do not like to fight and
will do anything to avoid the person they are afraid will start a fight.
Please read the information on our site on how to communicate in a more
positive way and then practice some of the techniques. I wish you all the
best.
