It's complicated??

After much pressure from some of my friends, I decided to come out and ask the long time friend what are we doing.  It went something like this:

ME: "are we hanging out just as friends or exploring other options?"

HIM: "that is really complicated"

ME: "really??"

HIM: " can we talk it about it later"

ME: "sure...i hope i didn't' give you a headache"

HIM: "noooo not at all....your funny"

ME: "im just saying....u said complicated"

HIM: "because it is"

ME: "interesting"

HIM: "I don't mean it in a weird way"

ME: "oooooh"

So I took that as "Devona you have a very complicated situation, I like you but I"m not sure what to do".  Yes this long time friend knows my situation.  All about the father, kids etc....

I really wanted to ask him because I need to know what he is thinking.  If we decide to just be friends I'm good with that.  Considering thats all we have been.  I know I just don't want to be in a situation where I am stroking his ego or trying to convince his insecurities(not saying he has any) about the father.  Which brings me to my relationship with the father.  Uggg that is a whole blog by itself......
