My Best Friend (guy) is sending mixed...

I've been best friends with Rick for 20 years. I'm only 28 and so is he, so we know almost everything about each other. Well, recently we both started dating people who ended up cheating on us and left us feeling like fools. So, as usual we both turned to each other for comfort hugs, cuddling, and sex. The day before Thanksgiving Rick professed his love for me and said that he wanted to try a romantic relationship with me. I spent the night with him and he woke up cold toward me. Later that day he apologized, told me he made a mistake and begged me not to hate him. So, I forgave him and moved on. Just 3 days ago he came to see me and we spent the evening at a friends house. Once again, we cuddled and did our thing. So, stupid me, I professed my Love for him. That didn't end up so good. He told me "Steph, I Love you I just don't think that we can have that kind of relationship." He's still hoping to get back with his Ex, even though she cheated on him and moved 1000 miles away. I love this man and I always have, but what should I do? I told him I would stay away from him and he said, 'hell no you ain't.' So, how do I deal with being around him all the time and having the feelings that I have for him?

You should do what you feel and if that means staying away from him, then do so. He's made it clear through his words and actions that he does not want a romantic relationship. If you keep hanging around with him, you will just keep hoping. I would take a break from the friendship until you are very clear that it's only a friendship. If he can't accept that you need to do this and won't back off, then what kind of friend is he really?

LOL, thanks for the advice. It's funny, I told him yesteday the same thing you just told me. "Let's take a break for at least a week." Was what I told him. He was very supportive and said that he understood. Again, I appreciate you're help and support. Bless you! Steph.
