When I was out with a male friend of mine recently for coffee, he really flirted with me which confused me. We are both in our late thirties, and I know him to be a serial dater-type. He does have long relationships with women, but he's rarely every single for very long. We both have acknowledge our strong, mutual attraction to each other, but have never acted on it. After coffee, he texted me that he had to control his urge to kiss me and desire to have s*x with me. I texted him back that I value his friendship too much to ruin it for one night of good s*x. He texted back that he was disappointed, but understood. It confuses me when he tells me how great I look, or how nice I smell, or how he wants to kiss me, etc. Yet he won't take steps towards dating me.
Why do men do this to their single women friends?
He knows I want to date him, because we've talked about it before. We have a solid friendship, but I am really confused right now as to how to proceed forward with his flirting with me, while he dates other women. He also lives with his ex-girlfriend who he claims is his best friend, yet does not want to date her either. I'm not worried about her. I'm more worried that if I wait around for him to change, I"ll miss out on other dating opportunities. But yet I'm strongly attracted to him and he knows it. What should I do?
