Icetea, I see many a red flag going up. Why? Because I was married to man that told me never to expect him to tell me "I love you". He is STILL pulling his "come hither, GO AWAY, GO AWAY" games thirty years later.

I was totally devoted to this man and deeply in love with him... till just about a year ago. He did the same things that this friend of yours does until it finally destroyed all my love, my devotion and even my LIKE for him!! The man is totally incapable of loving anyone, including himself! Dealing with him has made me completely cynical about love. I don't wish that on anybody including YOU.

Red flags popping up all over the place, Icetea. Please do be careful!
