Hmm...just relax....No rush things....permit me to say that Flesh is trying to take charge in dx matter but keep it on a low.

As adults...you two can talk things over....if you don't like him...just tell him openly that you can't build any relationship with him.

A girl once told me that she enjoys my company but she can't date me...I asked her why and she said she just can't...That she prefers us being**Besties** I said okay...since then ....we kept it on a low.

As a gentleman,I really don't have any issue with a lady telling me her mind...I don't force things

Exctaly cause I once experience it has well.....just talk it out been silent can keep him if you really like the guy talk it out and let him know your stand.

Few weeks to my 25th birthday, last year, I ran into my Neighbour and we exchanged numbers, then the chatting began, we became friends and he offered to take me out on my birthday but It didn't happen.

Fast forward to the lockdown, I would go visit him we would chat and he appreciated my company as he was alone. He eventually started to make moves, getting all touchy which got me a little surprised and uncomfortable since as friends that was improper, which got me thinking if he wants more than friendship.

He has a great career, intelligent and all but not my spec, and I'm not attracted to him. We are very different people, socially and even our views about life. I enjoy his company but that's all there is. As a result if I use to visit twice in a week, I reduced it to once in two weeks and eventually monthly, and reduced the chats just to not give him the wrong impression.

He stylishly refer to me in future as his wife. What do I do? Is he starting to have feelings for me and how do I stylishly turn him down since he hasn't asked me out or do i wait for him to do so? cos there are people who just draw close and start dating without d while toasting stuff or is it just his flesh loosing control, which I doubt cos I try to be as decent as possible wen visiting him.

Do I just go with the flow since I'm currently not in a relationship? But won't that be me deceiving him and myself cos I don't like him in that way. or I'm over thinking the whole thing?
If you think he is good enough for you then date him otherwise stop this nonsense friendship of a thing. I'll be blunt, a boy and a girl can't be just friends, one if not both at a point will start catching feelings.

In order not to lose your relationship with him, since you said he is a good person and you enjoy his company.... i will suggest you tell him respectful......I HAVE NOTICED YOU LIKE ME AND I LIKE YOU TOO BUT PRESENTLY I AM IN RELATIONSHIP...... To me, he will respect you more for not wasting his time or tagging him along or even ignoring him............ If he is sensible guy he should understand.

I as a guy i have told some girls that....... and it went well.....

I had a girl told me that and i really appreciated her because she did not waste my time..

My view,
Answer these questions;
Do you love him?
Do you want a relationship with him?
Do you want to give him the impression that you want a Marital relationship with him?

If your answer is No, then there are several ways you can politely decline his request without really hurting. You take him to place where you can talk and tell him what you think about him and why his advances towards you can't work.

Please for your own good, don't try to fool around with him. You might regret it. Come out straight. He will even love you more for bring honest.

angry Why are you ladies like this? You don't like a guy yet you don't want to let him know you don't like him. I am very sure if he asked you if you do like him, you will not give him a straight forward answer. You will still give him hope or say something like "I like your company, let's just be friends".

Most guys here can tell you of their experience of a girl telling them they are not interested or don't like them or not their spec. And when the guy decides to move on, they'll start feeling offended, jealous or betrayed.
What kind of witchcraft is that? angry

You'd have heard some ladies even say demonic things like "I don't like him", "I don't want him" , "He's not my spec" but I don't want to see him with another lady. Very confused set of beings!

It's like after they think they've dumped you, you must be in sorrow, you must never be happy again especially with another woman. If they see you've moved on quickly and you are happy with another person... body go dey pinch them

Better go and find your spec and live the innocent man alone

humilitypays:
You are a very good lady with human empathy, and I commend you for that.


But in as much as I commend you for your empathy towards a fellow human's feelings, I must tell you the saddest truth; you will definitely end up with a wrong guy cry cry


In this life, take it from me, when it comes to settling down, nature gave man that absolute right to decide...that's why nature gave ladies that heart to accept just anybody that show them sincere care and affection unlike men.


You as a woman, you are created by nature to accept a man who shows you sincere affection, commitment, affection and respect......but western civilisation media exposure and whatnot have made women to believe they can chose their spec of a man; mostly based on physical looks which is not how women are naturally designed, they only got influenced, and majority if not all of the women that use that word "not my spec" or "I am not attracted to him" while neglecting the guy's sincere interest and commitment towards them always end up with the wrong guy, and its always too late for them, so think twice


All the best

I know why you have said the emboldened text but people might think that you are being silly.

I had a girl who didn't want me to touch her or sex her. She messed up other things like leaving me hanging after promises that often cost me some amount to money.

Now, the sex part does not mean I planned to leave her after everything... nope...

Well, she frustrated me with her attitude until i left... this year, she started telling me that she lost her virginity to another guy and that i thought she sleeps around blah blah.. in her mind, she thought it was all about sex.

So, I asked her, after all said and done: "where is the guy she gave her virginity to" and her only answer was SILENCE. of course, the guy was gone.

A lot of them make this mistakes every time and all I do is watch. the truth is, women are not wired to like or want the nice guys. do not be surprised that the reason why this guy in question is not "her spec" is because he has been too gentle and nice to her. often times, this is what triggers their repulsive feelings. BUt assuming the guy in question had numerous girls coming to his house or he does not give her much attention, she would start feeling jealous ( there was a case of another nairaland lady who had this less than 2 weeks ago)

it is a messed up situation for these women.

You want nothing beyond friendship.

He wants your body in pretence of a future with you.

Solution: Point blank withdraw from him

My questions to you are these: what do you really think a man wants from a woman ,and a woman from a man? And, why didn't you avoid the visits and communication -innocuous, as they seem - right from the beginning?
See, it's better to be straight forward and blunt immediately than to be latterly held in some emotional pen .
Some years back, the pastor of my then church asked me what I felt about a sister. My response was swift and direct. No feelings, I replied. I didn't realise that God had spoken through my mouth. Events ,revelations about that lady proved that God made His statement through me that day.
You should have avoided those visits during the lockdown ,together with those long chats on Whatsapp. The vibes the guy got was that you were in. Whereas, you remained outside, only temporarily dipping your toe in while you remained dry.
