In the zone

Today, after joking with the guy I've been talking to for 8 months about his plans for my birthday, he told me he didn't want to 'lead me on' and wants to stay friends. FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

If, after 8 months, you’re still just “talking,” you were never anything more than friends to begin with.

Even if you were dating, it's not right to expect them to make plans for your birthday. You're not their responsibility. If they want to do something like that it should be their decision alone and not brought on by you insinuating you expect it. I'm also with the other comments though.. you've been "talking" for 8 months. If anything was going to get more serious between you two it would have happened already.

He's just a "cheapskate" and doesn't want to "buy you a gift." Keep joking around about being friends.
