Dear Pauine:

He likes you and wants you more than a friend, that is clear. But I don’t think he is able to be in a solid relationship with you as a boyfriend. To put it in another way, he is able to be a friend-with-benefits with you, not a boyfriend. If you are okay with having him as a friend with benefits, meeting occasionally, from time to time, for some “cure nicknames.. kisses etc.”- if that was okay with you, then it would serve you both, I guess.

But if you want a relationship, you and him together as a couple going about life, making each other better for it- I don’t think it will happen with him, not anytime soon.. maybe far in the future.

“how much I should be there for him”- not at all, if you want a boyfriend.
