My current love and broken heart situation is not the subject of this thread, but I am in love and my heart is really broken. Anyway, that never prevented me from meeting another people and, at certain times, when I was still grieving, I met someone. But this is not the case and my grief is worse because I am still really, really in love and I need a miracle...
But my thread is about a different thing. These days I've started to exchange text messages with a guy. We spend hours talking about everything and that would be great but the thing is that I can see that he likes me but I don't like him back (no possibility, is not a "give him a chance", I like him as a friend but nothing more than that). I don't want him to deevlop feelings for me, I don't want to hurt him or use him. And this is not even making me feel better, on the contrary, because spending the nights texting someone is something what I did with my love partners or interests, not him. And, as I said, it's clear that he's into me, but it's not mutual.
SInce he hasn't asked me anything directly, I can't reject him, but I don't want to give him false expectations. I enjoy our talks (or I'd do if it wasn't for what I said: This reminds me to another situations) but I can't let this continue because I feel that it makes me look interested, which I am not.
It would be easy to let myself go anf having a long distance relationship with him (he's in another country), just with cute texts and all the attention, but I'm not like that and that would end up hurting both of us because I don't have any romantic attraction of feelings for him and I never will.
So, please, could you help me? How can I stop this situation without rejecting him directly (because he hasn't asked anything yet) but preventing him to get more attached to me? I don't want to keep going this way...
Thank you
