I hold hands & cuddle with my guy friends but don't sleeping together
I have a couple guy friends that I cuddle with and hold hands with but don't sleep with. I wouldn't date them either, it's just feels good to be close to someone. Is this normal?

Unfortunately, normal. And yes, most guys know exactly what's going on. Some will get tired of it & move on, but there are those who are ever the optimistic; 'the glass is always half full'. Many just can't stop thinking, "Maybe THIS time, it'll happen. Maybe this time, I'll get to the promised land". Remember, EVERY guy friend you have, wants to get into your pants...unless he's gay, and half of them want it as well. (a 2004 study showed that the most common sexual fantasy for a gay man is sex w/a woman). What separates the dickheads from your real friends is: your friends are fine with you the way you are. And they'll never admit they'd flip you like a burger if you asked. Nor would they take advantage of you that way. In fact, if you did ask them, they'd probably figure it was a test or something(the 1st couple times), and give the answer expected of a 'friend'. while you are perfectly safe around your friends, and you know your friends better than me, so you know if you're safe; there's a secret they all share, but likely will NEVER share with you. They all think about you at some point, when they masturbate. That's right, when they're pulling their meat-wagons, your image whisks across the horizon... Along w/various others they have seen or been with, or imagined. You're in there somewhere. How do I know this? I'm a man who knows about human male instincts & has plenty of carnal knowledge. Have no fear, you can trust your friends tomorrow, just as you did yesterday. For none of them will risk losing what they have with you know, just the way it is. They'd rather have that than risk losing you completely. They love, & value your friendship, & that is far stronger than instinct. I have many female friends I have imagined. The difference with me is, I was honest about my male instincts. It made them feel awkward at 1st, but they got over that quickly & realized I was still the guy they loved & trusted. & will not risk that for anything, because I treasure my friends. I know I will never sleep w/them, unless we are sleeping. & I'm fine w/that. But, man! It drives me NUTS if they happen to rub me in the wrong(or right?) place. Sometimes, think they do it on purpose. That's just mean. Maybe we're gluttons for punishment, but who knows. The important thing is, now, you have some insight into our side of what's going on. Remember, I might know guys, 'cause I am one, but you know your friends. Happy frolicking.
