I moved to a new city and reconnected with an old friend. We’ve been spending a lot of time together (not dating) and things are beginning to get a little steamy. He’s made it clear that sex is important to him in a relationship, but I’m celibate and plan to wait till marriage. I don’t see a future with him, but I enjoy being friends. Am I being selfish to hold on to him even though I know I would never give him the sex he wants? Should I just cut him loose right away? Please help.

This may not be what you want to hear, but unless you are interested romantically or will be open to pursuing a relationship then definitely cut him loose. Otherwise you're hurting him and you, being dishonest and doing a disservice to you both.

If you are open to him but he's unwilling to wait until marriage then I'd say the same thing. He needs to step up and take responsibility, showing that he's a man of character and intergity now, respecting boundaries and honoring God, before entering into a relationship.

You are right. Thank you for speaking truth with grace.

Have a crush on my co-worker.

Now I’m stuck in this weird limbo state where things have fizzled out but I’m re-reading texts and think he might’ve actually had a crush too and I pushed him away. Ambiguity sucks.
