My family wants me to be with him.

My ex boyfriend from 8th grade is still in love with me. We’re seniors now, and hes always been there for me when I needed him.. even through other breakups.

He’s the only boyfriend I’ve had that my family likes, and my family constantly puts pressure on me to be with him.

But I don’t see him like that.

I love him, but not in a relationship way. I’m not attracted to him, it’s more of a brother or best friend type of thing.

We’ve went to concerts together and on mini dates just to test the waters, but I don’t see myself with him.

I don’t have any type of sexual attraction to him, which I feel like is a big deal at least for me.

So I’m stuck in a rut. Can someone please give me some advice?
