Guys I need some advice. I guess I'll give the whole story.
So, I'm a 22 yr old female. About five months ago I see that my old friend from high school poked me on facebook. I send him a message saying hi and we started chatting and catching up since I hadn't seen him in several years. We make plans to meet up for coffee and chat.
Well, eventually we start chatting more on facebook and hanging out more often, just going out to eat and playing video games and stuff. I knew that he had romantic feelings for me back in high school (I had previously rejected him), but I didn't see the problem of just hanging out since he is a very nice person and a good friend and I thought the whole thing was behind us. But maybe it wasn't such a good idea.
Now I told him in casual conversation pretty early on that I really wasn't looking to date, that I seriously doubt that I ever wanted to get married or be in a serious relationship with anyone really (I have trust issues and other personal issues which would make me a bad potential mate at this time), and I wasn't at a point in my life where I wanted a relationship. He seemed to accept this. I was very adamant about being uncertain of marriage and was at a point where I needed to figure myself out and be single. This was just casual conversation though, while we discussed our dating lives. He is the opposite, he wants to get married and find the love of his life. He seemed lonely and wants a relationship.
I thought it was pretty cemented that we were just platonic friends, until Valentine's Day when he sent me roses. I really didn't know what to think, and it was only a few weeks after my mom died (my dad died two weeks earlier) and I was in a bad spot in my life and chose to just ignore the whole thing. He was genuinely supportive of me during that time and I consider him a true friend. I had just lost both of my parents and he was very compassionate. But I never intended to lead him into thinking I wanted more. I wasn't trying to use him.
Well, yesterday he gave me a present. It turns out that he bought me a 3DS! Now I'm not sure what to think at all. I don't want to get into a situation where he thinks I'm taking advantage of him. I'm not sure if this gift means that he's expecting a more intimate relationship with me or if he thinks we're already in one! I mean, it's a pretty expensive gift. And I never asked him to buy it. I don't want to lead him on, but this just blindsided me and I feel guilty for it, even though I did want a 3DS. I don't know what to do and I don't want to hurt this person. But I really, really don't want to date him. I don't return his feelings. I just want to be single and have platonic friends and just focus on my life. I don't want the emotional entanglement of a relationship.
Is there anything I can do at this point where I don't become a bitch? I really never meant for this to happen. Are we still just friends?
