Why would a guy hang out even if he knew I have crush on him

[cathy]

Long story short, he is a coworker. He knows I have huge crush on him and he clearly expressed he likes me as a friend and he does not go further with coworkers. fair enough. But he would still wana hang out for one to one lunch, coffee etc. he even got upset once I told him we should not do one to one hangout. But eventually I gave up(of course) and we started hanging out again. Is not it simply cruel to put me in this emotional roller coaster? or its a very normal behavior? on a very weak moment I hold his hand , later on asked him if that made him uncomfortable? He told me that was fine and he does not mind. Why would you want someone to touch you if you dont feel attracted to them? just trying to find some meaning in his behavior, cause I think I need to firmly tell him we should not hang out anymore.

He sees you as a close friend. That's it. You can touch someone to comfort them without any attraction. I think you need to accept it will never be more than friends and move on but don't lose this friendship.

I think he has strong feelings for you but trying to take things slow, hence he said he loved you as a friend. However, if he doesn't define the relationship soon enough, don't waste your time with him.

His Relatives And Friends

Have you been to meet his relatives or rather, has he invited you to his home and introduced you to his family? This is one of the signs that he is close to you and is interested in more than just friendship with you. You should also observe the feelings of is friends and their approach towards you. Is it just casual or is there something special and warm in their feelings towards you?

Men do tend to be possessive about the girls they love and that shows up most when you are with him in the company of his friends. If his family is paying special attention towards you, it means that you are someone special for them and that can only happen if he is really in love with you and is interested in a long lasting relationship with you.

A simple statement from him which praises your shirts and how hot you look in it goes a long way to tell that he likes you more than just a friend.

Simple observations on his part also goes to show that he is observing you carefully and one does that only when they love someone deeply. If you have changed your hair style and that has caught his eye leading him to comment about the same, you can be sure that he loves you.

His Touches

The way he touches you, or runs his fingers through hairs are ways of proclaiming his love for you. It is not necessary that he reacts with you physically, though some people tend to do so. Simple and sometimes innocent looking acts like a simple kiss can mean a lot.

Most girls can interpret these touches. Look at his eyes and observe if thee is a sparkle in them when you smile at him. Finally believe in yourself. Most women know when they are touched that whether the touch was a friendly one or whether it came from someone who likes you more than just a friend.
