you seem to be in one sticky situation ..

being friends with a guy without him being interested in you as such and just for friendship sake .. well depends pretty much on the guys i guess .. i mean even if u did tell him ur not looking for anything more than being friends it still is upto him to decide whether or not hes gonna be falling for u! hmmmmm .. well with me .. i always keep a safe distance with women .. am friendly yes .. but not too much .. or get into many details and avoid makin them feel crowded or so .. just take it easy and thats about it .. some women even feel the opposite .. a guy being friendly is perceived to be flirtatious .. well .. depends on the ppl like i said :)

life goes on ..
