The term "hang out"

Smilee21

Exotic is Erotic...
Okay, I need some help please...

I have a guy friend who contacts me for Diet/exercise advice. I just found out He and his wife have recently separated and he wants to hang out with me.

This afternoon he told me he finds me very attractive and I don't know what his term of Hanging out really means. I don't want to assume it's just as friends and he attempt to make a move on me or something.

I think I should make it perfectly clear that we are friends and only friends and that I am not looking for anything more.

I don't want to be the person he uses to fill a void in his broken heart while he heals from the toxic/broken marriage he was in.

I never know what to expect when a man wants to hang out with me.

I don't know how to respond to him. How do you think I should handle this situation?

He wants to "hang out" which means he is hopeful of more. If he is a good guy he will go with your actions and you can prob just hang out...but he wants more imo.

If he isn't a great guy he will try something and you will be in a pinch. i would avoid this unless you want him.
 
Tell him the truth. If he doesn't like it, he was a shit friend and you're better off without him as a friend.
 
I have told other guy friends in the past just as friends some did listen; while others practically forced themselves on me (the other guys are no longer my Friends).

So it scares me a little bc I don't know if they will listen to me or ignore and still attempt to make a move on me, maybe it's best for me to say My schedule is pretty busy and i don't have time to hang out, but you can contact me and I will try my best to be a friend via email/text/phone...

I have never flirted, shown interest in him in any way, and have never talked dirty it's been strictly platonic. But I don't know If he thinks I was that way with him bc he was married. :/

Didn't you just meet someone that you are really into? Focus on him and tell this douchebag to get some counseling if he needs to talk. If needs to hang out, tell him to call his guy friends.

I did meet someone I really like, we have had a few dates already, and another one this Fri. I get to hear him Perform in one of the 3 bands he is in, he is very talented, kind, and he always makes me smile, I even met his Sister and his friends.

Ya, this other dude is getting a little clingy, skyping me while I am working, wanting to hang out with me, wants to send me progress pics of him but says that they are the kind he shouldn't send and that he will need to take progress pics in his Pj bottoms. (ewwww)

I told him I do not like getting naked pics sent to me, and don't expect any to come from
Me.

I don't want to be his relationship counselor/shrink... I am not qualified to help him and he hasn't had sex in 5yrs supposedly.
His wife stopped being intimate with him years ago. I am not helping him out with his Lil problem.
 
This man has to be the real Al Bundy! :beertoast

Be careful Smilee!

My gut tells me to stay away from this guy and with everyones perspective on the Term "Hang Out" is all I needed to help make up my mind that it is a bad idea to go along with it.

My biggest problem is I like helping ppl, I don't like seeing them sad or in pain. But he is a grown A** man who can take care of himself or seek help from a professional to overcome this pain he is feeling.

I can be a friend from a distance or not a friend at all.
 
hang out with him at a crowded place meet him somewhere with a lot of other people so you can help him...

I don't see why I need to meet up with him... It's not like he is one of my best friends who I need to help give emotional support to, this guy is just someone I help give diet and exercise advice too. I think his intentions from the very beginning were not to be just my friend.
Idk... I want to walk away from this situation completely before it gets any weirder.
