I have been friends with this guy for many years, but a few years ago we started confiding in each other about personal issues and I started to develop very strong feelings for him. I sometimes thought he felt the same. A year ago he told me he loved me and I told him that I loved him. We have both discussed taking the relationship to the next level but have not for fear of ruining our friendship. Every time we move towards a physical relationship he distances himself from me. We speak if we run into each other, but he makes no attempt to contact me. A month or two will go by and we start things over again only to end up in the same place we were before. He recently asked me if I love him and I told him that he knows how I feel. He said he wanted to hear me say it, but I can't because I sometimes feel he is playing games with me. What should I do? I want to end these games and tell him exactly how I feel but I am afraid of looking like a fool if he is not feeling the same way. Is he playing games with me?
