Just Friends, guys what do you hear when we say this?

If I hear a girl say she just wants to be friends with me and I liked her, chances are she won't ever hear from me again, as much as I used to talk to her, that will rapidly decline until communication is cut off with that girl. Some guys think I can get out of the friend zone and they try and try and the girl runs them around in a cirlcle that goes nowhere and she gets a new boyfriend and then maybe he realizes ok better give up on this one.

Sometimes, a guy will take it as just that. He just wants to be friends also. On the other hand though, if a guy really likes you and you tell him that you just want to be friends with him, it can be quite upsetting. Basically when you tell a guy that, its like saying your fun to be around and share things with and everything else but you are just not boyfriend material. A girl might think, why would he want to share in all my problems and shortcomings and whatnot but its really a good thing. At least you know he cares about you in more than a "your hot!" way.

i don't realy care since I can still see her. to me it just means I have to back off a little. I'm usualy am pretty perceptive and can tell what I'm doing wrong as to why she would want to make sure we are just freinds. to me it just means no sex and exlusitivity. I don't realy believe in the whole freindship zone thing. I never act like I desperatly want a girl. I have told girls the same thing, that I just want to be freinds, just to make sure my freindship mattered to them before I took it to the next level. some guys are very confused by the whole concept and get realy hurt over it though.

It really depends on the situation. How long have you been fooling around with this guy? Has he said anything to you about how much he digs you? Does he seem like he's going above and beyond the call of duty just to make you happy? If you liked him in the beginning but then lost interest in him along the way then he'll probably be pretty hurt. He'll probably feel used and forgotten. Like being the last one picked for dodgeball.

I've been in this situation many a times. Every girl I've ever dated has done this to me. It's not fun to hear at all. Just don't drag him along making him think that there's something there where you have no intention in being with him.

Do you really intend on being friends with him after this has happened? Most women use it as a easy way out.

Crap

"No."

when iv heard this I hated it. for one its used way too often (like its not u, its me), and guys usually will try to get out of the friends zone if he still likes you. tell him the truth, be direct but not mean about it and hopefully he will understand.
