Stella27 - I'd just like us to be friends. I think what I meant by 'giving of the vibe' etc could be likened to meeting up with an ex after a week of breaking up and there still being some chemistry.
THere is something between us and he brings it to my attention whenever we meet and I hesitate for a moment before reminding him that friends is the best call. He is all ready to run with his heart and hopes I will too, but then I let my head win.
I know he's not an 'ex' as such, but if the emotion set-up is similar... I have made friends with exes in the past and understood that chemisty doesn't make two people compatible I'd like to do that in this case too... Maybe that's asking too much?
