UGH. I do not think this post belongs in this thread, but here it goes anyways.

A friend of mine, a male, a rather new friend, is upset with me. He has tried to cross boundaries into the sexual with me a few times, and has indicated he would be interested in that with me, but i have told him FLAT OUT that I just want friendship ONLY. I have told him this SEVERAL TIMES. I even declined a fully paid trip with him down south because I didn't want to give him the wrong idea.

Well, now he's upset with me because he says I've flirted with him. So he assumes that I want more, DESPITE what I've told him, and DESPITE avoiding his advances.

And we're supposed to go to a concert together on Sunday, with a few other people. Now I have asked him if he doesn't want me to go.

I don't understand men. WHY do they read into friendliness and IGNORE our words? Perhaps I am too flirtatious and give off a different vibe from what I speak, but shouldn't men LISTEN to what we say???????

I am angry at him for ignoring everything I've told him up until now. He's tried to kiss me before, and I told him POINT BLANK -- friendship ONLY. I even slept over his house once, because I was too tipsy to drive home, and I drew the boundaries THEN TOO. FRIENDSHIP ONLY. I thought I've been crystal clear.

Ok, I understand if actions contradict words that it can be confusing. But I have not crossed into the sexual with him, not once. I am just simply being myself and am having a good time being out with my friend.

WTF? I feel like he's just seeing what he wants to see, and is ignoring all that I've said.
