Crush calling me mate?

[Anonymous]

What does it mean?

[_Maya_]

Lol so this is sorta funny for me. I'm not laughing at your question but just why I would even know what I'm about to say. I have a friend that lives in Australia. She isn't even Australian but married to one. Mate is a term for friend for them but from what I have been told they never ever call a girl mate. For whatever reason that is considered wrong. I don't really get it but that is what I'm told.

well it just means mate, it doesn't necessarily mean he is friendzoning you. i think that depends on whats yalls connection like. its same like calling your boyfriend bro. like i do it for example but it doesn't mean he is just my bro and mate hahah. its more like a byword for australians to say mate

He’s friendzoned you. Firmly; but that’s not necessarily permanent. If he was unsure and inexperienced with women, he might return (probably will); if you move on.

It’s actually a turn on to men you’re not dating for them to feel that you want but don’t need them. They need to know that and so do you (that YOU don’t need them). That takes time and experience.

That could be like an Australian expression mate
