    Am I ready?
    I am not a relationship person. I have never dated anyone yet it seems that boys keep falling for me. I have always been clear about my no boyfriend plan still I end up hurting people.

    I met this guy who you may say is perfect boyfriend material. We hung out for a month before he asked me out. I clearly explained him everything and went back to being just friends. This didn't work out. Now we have known each other for 5 months. He never asked me out again but I know that he is too much into me.
    It seems that his life starts from me and ends on me.

    Even I like him a lot yet I cannot force myself to date him. Not that I won't feel good but I'd feel just weird. I know we are more than friends because sometimes we tend to behave like a couple. Yet I just can't accept it. I am so confused and feel like an idiot.

    He is a really perfect guy. Girls keep asking him out a lot.(I do feel a little jealous.)
    I have no idea what to do. I don't want to hurt him.

    Two years ago you asked a question under Teens. How old are you now, and where in school?
    Also, is the picture on your ID of you? It is hard to tell the age of the woman.
    Behaving somewhat like a couple is probably torture for a guy who is infatuated with you.
    You might do him a favor and refuse any contact for now.

    If you don't want that kind of commitment, and he does then he cannot help but be hurt, and disappointed. I suspect this will never change with any of your male hangout buddies in the future. Unfortunately the price you pay for a NO boyfriend policy.

    There is always a risk and a downside for course of action you take with interacting with others no matter the reasons and motivations of those actions. Many date just for the fun, and not commitment. But when things get more serious, best be honest about it than lead them on, and be prepared for the to eventual disappointment by you both.

    Comes with the territory of being human. When you are ready to change your own rules for yourself, you will know. Until then, you have to cope with YOUR decisions and how the guys react to that decision. Some can, some can't, some won't.

    Best answer I can give you is if you have to ask the question, you are not ready. Good luck.

    Let this poor guy go. If he's as infatuated with you as you think he is, which I doubt, than the only option is to go no contact. Don't keep him around as a friend and continue to play games with him for your own purposes.

    You admit that you don't want to date him, but when other girls ask him out you're jealous. Fish or cut bait. You can't keep him in the wings until you decide what you want, that's not fair.
