Dear Annie: Seven years ago, I met a guy on a dating site. I’m 13 years older than him, but I look much younger than my age. After we matched, he asked me on a date, and we kissed. From there, we kept texting, flirting and engaging in a lot of suggestive conversations -- but he never asked me out again.

"Over the years, we’ve remained close friends. He goes through periods where he stops texting me for weeks but always comes back."

In today's Dear Annie column, Annie Lane hears from a woman who has been friends with a guy for seven years and while they've kissed, she wants more.
