the problem is, he's very interested in me and is still pursuing me. i made it clear that i was hoping for reconciliation and that i still loved my h very much. that i was not interested in a relationship at the moment. he wanted to go out as friends. i won't even do that. i can say that for sure. because his intention is that we start off as friends and see where it takes us. knowing that, i nip it in the bud. you don't even go out as friends. period. i don't lead anybody on.
but like all others, he gave me the "you deserve better" line.
