- I think that your point is that he doesn't need to worry about doing
- something against her will, unless he behaves badly. This is very
- true. But unfortunately for him, this isn't enough to decide what he
- should do.
-
- She could want him to pursue her and still want to keep her boyfriend
- (that would be a bit immature, but not unheard of). Or she could be
- unsure, and then decide to keep her current boyfriend. Or she could
- dump her current boyfriend and then decide that it was a mistake,
- and blame they guy that stole her away, as if it were all his fault.
-
- My suggestion is that he make clear (as tactfully as possible) that
- he is interested in her, and that he would not be treating her the
- way she is complaining about. Leave it to her to decide what she
- wants, and when to act.
-
- Peace,
- Michael.
