Question for the peanut gallery: should I have a "talk" with him and tell him that I want to consider us friends and recognize the fact that we are not lovers and thus not boyfriend/girlfriend? Or should I just follow his lead of being less available to me and keep it light when we talk on the phone, so that we sort of drift apart?
I think you should look at it from the other end of the periscope. Let's say you met the man of your dreams in Starbucks tomorrow. How do you think that guy would view your current relationship status with BF? Are you really available?
Anyways, why don't you just break up with him and then come to Michigan and be my duenna? Then you will be bound to meet the man of your dreams because that's how it always happens in the romance novels- through misdirection.
