Close Male Friendships

I don't know whats worse being single looking for love or on the fringe of a potential relationship and waiting for the prospective partner to ask you out on a proper date.

I just figure that if he really likes me he will ask me out eventually, if not I know I have a closer friendship with him which is strictly platonic. So I guess either way I win.

The thing is though I do like the way he treats me. He always buys me drinks when we are out and always invites me for coffee back at his place, although he has never expected me to stay for you know more then coffee. He also pays me nice compliments. I think we get along really well and could talk for hours about anything and everything. Oh and we have similiar interests.

Patience patience patience........what ever will be will be.
