Girls, Why does my best friend always tell me we’re just friends when we hang out? Am I doing something?

[Anonymous]

So I don't know if I’m unknowingly doing something but when ever me and my friend go hang out she always says we’re just friends at the end of the day. I haven’t done anything like making a move or asking her out. but we just hangout and be our ordinary selves and she only recently started to do it and it is a little bit weird bc it’s making me feel and question if I’m actually doing something. Any opinions why she would start doing this? Should I be a little distant? I don’t want her to be uncomfortable with me if I am doing something and I don’t know it, or is this like a phase. Any help is greatly appreciated

Just ask her! Maybe she’s misreading the situation. Or if she says it again, just ask her then. From my experience, I’ve said this to a male best friend recently. And only because I felt like he was trying to make a move or possibly liked me more than a friend. As he kept finding an excuse to touch me, it was friendly but then he tried to put his arm around me so I playfully and kindly just said I saw him as a friend.

But I didn’t view it as him doing something wrong at all, it was more like just making sure in a nice way that I didn’t see him more than a friend in case he was suggesting (I. e I don’t want to lead him on). But he was fine with it and I’m glad I kindly told him. So even if she thinks maybe you like her more than a friend, please don’t feel like you’re doing anything wrong. Maybe from her side, in case you do, she doesn’t want to lead you on or hurt your feelings! Just ask her, better to clear the air or it will play on your mind. Hope this helps 😊

Best way to go about this is to ask her - guessing or having strangers on the internet try t guess will not help you in the long run.

Seeing as you're friends with her - it shouldn't be hard to just ask. Do it in a nonchalant and easygoing manner, just slip it into conversation but make it known those comments are confusing you and making you believe she is uncomfortable with you in some way and that you don't want that to happen.

i also do that sometimes cuz i think i like my friend but somehow i always say we’re “friends” cuz in addition to being unsure about her feelings towards me, i am also quite unsure about my own feelings towards her. i think is kinda like a defence mechanisem for us girls

Maybe it is her way of hinting that she would like it to be more. I could think of better ways than saying we are just friends. Why don't you ask her why she is doing this? Get the scoop from the source.

Apparently, she doesn’t want you to get the wrong idea and think there’s anything romantic between the two of you.

maybe she has a boyfriend recently too. it is so hard to tell. maybe ask her directly why she's actinh like that

As a best friend you should be able to ask her that question! As your best friend, she should easily be able to answer you that question.

Maybe she's trying to play some reverse psych on you to get you to consider her.

She is your best friend? Why is she not your girlfriend?

I think maybe she might be saying it because she likes you more and wants you to question it lol next time say why do you want more or something in a joking way.

If she says "we're just friends" again tell her "no, we're cousins".

Not sure, you should ask her next time she says that.

[Thot_Stomper]

This is missing context. Give a few examples of when they said this.

How would we know. Talk to her about it.
