What does it mean when a guy says "I don't see you in that way"?

What does it mean when a guy says "I don't see you in that way" ? Can that ever change?

Sounds to me that he isn't interested in anything romantic with you. He sees you as a friend.

TBH instead of trying to change this, I would just move on. There are plenty of guys out there. In my own experience, trying to get a guy to like you just isn't worth the time and effort if he already knows you and can't see how wonderful you are.

I would go out and find a guy who sees that. It will be much easier to get a guy who likes you to date you than trying to change how this guy views you.

Well, what do you mean when you say it? Do you know a guy that you strictly only like as a friend? Have you ever had a guy you only liked as a friend but ended up liking more than a friend?

Sure feelings can change but should you assume theyre gonna change? No. My advice is that you do your own thing. If feelings change, great. If they don't, hey at least you were prepared.

What context is this in? What does "that way" mean?

With no other info it seems like he isn't attracted to you romantically. Very doubtful someone would say that if they thought they may change their minds.

The context was we were drunk hooking up and I said this is awkward. Then as soon as I said this he said I'm sorry I don't see you this way. I'm just trying to figure out if he might of said this because I made him feel rejected and I know he's a self conscious guy. because after he proceeded to fool around and told me I am hot.

"youre a nice girl, I enjoy our conversations and possibly see you as a long term friend but I don't find you sexually attractive-therefore I wouldn't see myself dating you."

[BruceJender]

It means I don't see you as a romantic prospect. You're either just a friend or someone I have no interest in whatsoever.

My advice is to move on.

Ah usually it doesn't change. And it means they don't like you. I'm assuming you asked him if he liked you. And well that's a no in a "sugar coating" kinda way.
