Is it normal that in m/f friendships where the guy asks to hang out regularly, it starts off good then she starts to become less enthusiastic?

[Anonymous]

And then she starts making excuses when he asks to hang out?

Yes it’s normal

No it’s not normal

[boggboss]

Maybe she feels the guy wants more

[Asker]

She’s always known that. He never hid it.

[boggboss]

Well clearly she dont

[Asker]

She hasn’t known you mean? Pretty obvious if the guy asks her on a date is it not?

[boggboss]

No clearly she was nit intrested in more then friendship so when it seemed u was pushing for me she shut it down

[Asker]

She already shut it down by rejecting him though and saying she’s only interested in friendship.

[boggboss]

And she started to assume he was treating the meet ups as more then friendship so she started to stop which is fine

[Asker]

That’s an odd assumption after 3 years of friendship is it not?

[boggboss]

Not really if she felt u was treating it more

[Asker]

He talked about it, she made herself clear so boundaries were set.

[boggboss]

Yet if she felt he was crossing them she would pull away

[slatyb]

It's normal when she loses interest.

[Asker]

In the friendship?

[slatyb]

Yes. You are no longer a priority.
