Is it normal he said he has no feelings for me?
Okay, so the other day I went on my first date with a guy I had hit it off with at a BBQ. He insisted on a very expensive meal, and then as we were leaving told me, "I will be honest with you, I have no feelings for you, and I don't want to misguide you and hurt you." I was crushed, but we continued our date. He insisted on getting coffee, climbing a mountain, and sitting at the very top alone for hours looking at the stars and talking. We told each other all about our past relationships, and our insecurities. When I suggested we go, he said he wanted more time. Then, we walked all the way home, and he took me out to a delicious dinner. When he finally walked me back to my door, I felt quite close to him. Throughout our date he was so protective and gentlemanly, paying for everything, helping me over each barrier, and pulling me away from traffic. He wants to go out again, and yet, we call ourselves "friends". What do you think he meant by having no feelings? Could it be that he really only likes me as a platonic friend?
