Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I have been in a relationship for 2 year 3 months. I've been friends with this dude for like a year maybe a year and a half. He told me a long time ago that he was romantically interested in me and I made it very clear that the feelings were not mutual but we could still be friends. He actually told me one point that he was in love with me. Anyway, friendship continued but he tried to flirt every so often. I told him that it made me uncomfortable and that I felt like it was disrespectful to me and my relationship. He's living in another state now for school. He was in town for Christmas. He texted me to let me know and try to find time to hang out. In the middle of this he made some flirtatious comments and I just stopped responding. So we didn't hang out. I'm not exactly bummed about it since he makes me kind of uncomfortable anyway. To be honest, the main reason I've maintained a friendship with him this long is because the kid I babysit loves him. Anyway, am I the asshole for just ignoring him when he tried to flirt and would I be the asshole if I just cut him out and told him I didn't want to be friends anymore?
