Thank you MickeyCheeky , you are always so kind and supportive. Thank you for your very supportive words.

TishaBuv, I was wondering if someone would say that, lol. I do sort of wonder about that, myself. He has talked to me before about fearing relationships though, and sexual ones in particular. I do wonder though, if I feel like a pseudo gf to him, too. Though it seems he may like it. I have a different reaction to it (pseudo relationships for myself), which is negative, because I was in one in the past and we were so enmeshed and it was unhealthy, and addictive, and I got hurt. I don't want any of that to happen with me and this friend of mine. Thanks for the thought though, it's possible.
