* Your friend feels that your relationship may be getting too serious to just be friends and may fear if a relationship between you does become serious and doesn't work out he may lose you as a friend. Putting you on the 'back burner' simply means he's interested, but placing you away from commitment for the time being. You should communicate with him and ask him why he feels this way and be honest as to how you feel about him. Whatever the two of you decide you should follow through with.

∙ 12y agoDepends on what they are referring to. If they are referring to putting the relationship on the back burner then they are not really wanting to be too serious about the relationship. If the person is saying that they were put on the back burner, it refers to you ignoring them meanwhile trying to find someone who you think is better and just in case things don't work out with that individual, you still have the other person you put on the back burner. Basically, the person is seen as not that important and 2nd best and you always think that they will be waiting for you. If someone did this to you then I suggest you leave them in the dust because no one should ever put you on the back burner. Plus it shows how selfish someone is and if they are that inconsiderate about your feelings then you probably shouldn't be with them. If you're the person who did this to someone then you might want to apologize because that's one of the worst things that you can do to someone. You're playing with someone's emotions and not caring about how they will feel by your actions. It shows that you only care about what's best for you. If he/she is able to see that you're putting them on the back burner, then odds of them staying or rekindling with you are very slim to none.
- When someone tells you to put it on the back burner they are basically telling you to 'keep it warm' because the possibility of the relationship resuming is still there. No one should wait for another by 'putting it on the back burner' and should get on with their life and if that person that made the comment really loves the person they will come back into their life and if not then the person the comment was meant for will not have wasted time and energy on this person.

What does it mean when your longtime friend who you have slept with at times keeps making excuses that you and her are not compatible for a relationship but you are still there for her in every way?
I personally think that your friend has some issues that she needs to deal with before she gets in to a relationship. It is probably best if you take a step back from a sexual relationship with them and be there for them as a friend. When they are ready for a relationship you will then be there for them and have built up a certain level of trust that a relationship would need.
