I have read that if I find a topic that relates to my pending question, I should refrain from creating a separate thread
So here it goes:
I currently am feeling a bit suffocated by a close male friend of mine who has been clingy lately. In no way are we dating, and I currently have no intentions of changing that.
My problem is he seems to be treating our relationship as if we are, in fact, dating - being slightly possessive and just all in all, giving me no air to breathe, metaphorically speaking.
I have several other male friends who do not emulate his actions, and I do not understand why he won't back down, even after I have expressed we are just friends.
Any advice as to how to get through to him? Other than this, I enjoy being with him tremendously.
