Been separated nearly a year and have met a great guy over the internet and we've been out a couple of times. He's going through a tough time right now, may lose contact with his kids, has no money, been depressed etc and for that reason says he has nothing to offer as far as a relationship is concerned. Despite all this we've really hit it off and I love his company. But he just wants to be friends. He says he does want a serious relationship at some stage but can't consider it right now (hasn't been involved with anyone else for a while so it's not as if he's getting over someone).
I'm trying to work out if it's worth hanging around - we are very compatible and I'm attracted to him too. It would be nice to have a male platonic friend but is that possible if you fancy someone? I'm scared if I get drunk I'll make a pass at him and make a real fool of myself. But it's doing my head in sitting here thinking how much I'd love to phone him and ask him to come round. He wants to go out again and has asked if I'll put him up so he doesn't have to drive home. I could just concentrate on developing the friendship and if I still feel the same way in a couple of months time and he still wants the friends thing, just move on. On the other hand, wouldn't I be saving myself a lot of grief just to cut my losses and move on now? Thanks
