4.9K opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. Because you can't have "guy friends" - at least, not with guys who are straight and who are single (unless they're getting tons of pussy already). I realize that YOU can be platonic friends with guys, but a single straight guy who isn't getting laid constantly CANNOT be platonic friends with an attractive girl (with only rare exceptions).
This guy was obviously attracted to you - sexually for certain, and perhaps also romantically - and it's painful for him to see you with another guy. But this gets back to the point: you CANNOT be platonic friends with single guys. All of your "guy friends" want to bang you, and that changes how they treat you and how they feel about you, and means their "friendship" with you is at least partially a lie. It's not your fault that guys feel this way or are this way, but you need to know better, especially at your age (assuming your listed age is correct).
If you always assume that all of your guy friends are just waiting for any opportunity to get you into bed, then all of the rest of their behavior will suddenly make much more sense...35 Reply- +1 y
This so much. I don't get the down votes. Considering they are women, they wouldn't understand I guess. There are some guys that are able to maintain friendships with women they are attracted to, but I don't know how many will go out of their way to hang out with female friends they are attracted to, without some tension or some end goal of a relationship or sex

and I'm talking about consistently hanging out. If the man is heterosexual and he is sexually attracted to the woman, who is also single, he is going to fantasize at some point and make a move, unless he is really shy

@MrNameless The downvotes are because the truth is kind of harsh, and people don't want to hear it. I realize that delusions can be comforting, but that just makes facing the inevitable situation like this that much harder - because the truth eventually can't be avoided.

Yeah I was thinking that too. Girls shouldn't have this feeling of paranoia towards guys, but they should understand that when it gets to that point, it's best to have boundries and not say or do anything that could make them look like they are giving the guy a chance/leading them on, and they should respect the space if men don't want to be friends with them anymore

I don't understand how you don't see why. He probably was interested in you or had deep feelings and since he found out you have a boyfriend he distanced himself to collect his feelings and either drown them out or put them in a box. I do this all the time if a girl is taken and we weren't friends prior to them getting a boyfriend I would just distance myself and not talk to them but if I've known them a while before they got a boyfriend I'd put some distance but come back after I collect myself and control myself.

+1 ymaybe your guy friend is hurt because he may think you will spend more time with your boyfriend then you will with him ! understandable ! however , maybe you can take time for your guy friend for something fun like a snack and chat in a restaurant and leave the romance and big dates for you and your boyfriend ! thanks

+1 yYou shouldn't be asking this question you have a boyfriend why do you even want to talk to him? If you do... you clearly should be dating him dont play mind games he did the respectable thing by respecting your relationship there needs to be more men and women like that!

+1 yPossibly a few reasons, but I think he thought intimately of you, not platonic, so when he found out you had a boyfriend he decided that you’re off limits or not an option for him intimately. I believe this is biology, where a man will back off from a woman once he realizes that the woman is taken by another man and go find another woman to devote his time and energy towards that isn’t taken.

+1 yugggg... because women think they have guy "friends". And as I keep telling all of you for years, ya don't. You have guys that are friendly to you. But every one would have sex with you if they were single and you offered. Doesn't matter if "I wouldn't want to do that" or "I don't think of him that way". We think that way.

+1 yCould be all the answers below ;) How long did you know your friend? then boyfriend. what do you talk about to both? Why didn't you take guy friend on? . Please : if all you do is talk about new boyfriend and not other stuff guys don't what to hear that! I'm not saying you do but like KrakenAttackin (below ) said you'll need to work it out. Talk to guy friend if you need to and find out. Back to you.

1. Either he likes you.
2. you like highly exgagurated about your boyfriend by talking too much of unintentionally compared both of them which might have irritated him.
3. if you are with me and always talk about the 3rd person I will have no interest in the conversation.50 Reply - 2K opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic.
+1 yDuh. Double duh. Because he wasn't ever REALLY your friend. He just pretended to be as a way to get with you. He wanted you. Then when he found out there was no chance, he showed his true colors. You're at least 25, right? Why do you need to even ask this?

+1 yBecause the majority of guy "friends" that girls have really want to date her. That is why a lot of guys don't want their girlfriends having male friends because they already know that most guys that are friends with girls want them for more than friends. Ever wonder why the more attractive girls can get guy friends easier and the fat or unattractive ones have much fewer opportunities if any to have guy friends.

+1 yI hate people who keeps talking about their bfs or gfs to me. i had a personal trainer like that, really i dont want to know that you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Or that they bought u a gift. Hell i dont want to hear about your mother even. Just get this job done. maybe that is why he stopped talking to u
10 ReplyGuy friend clearly wanted to be your boyfriend and even went so far as to point out that he doesn't want to talk about his missed chances. I'm sure every conversation you had with guy friend about your boyfriend hurt and he decided to get away from you since you might sound happy with your current boyfriend.
30 ReplyBecause he wanted to be your boyfriend. Even if you talked to him about the boyfriend before, he probably thought he was next in line. When you skipped over him to someone else, you probably hurt his feelings.
50 ReplyHe has feelings for you and now wants to separate from you. He no longer wants to be your friend. Sorry to say. Friends don't stop talking to you. Your not emotionally neglecting him so there is no other logical reason why.

It's not enough to tell someone bad things about yourself. if someone has a partner and you know it, you're supposed to make the step and stay away from them, respecting their relationship.

Another thing is that if a girl has a boyfriend and likes someone else and is ready to step out of her relationship for someone else, that's already a big red flag

Even when I first met her, she was with me all the time. For the first two months we were just friends, I never had day that we couldn't be with each other till morning to the next morning. We were texting all times. Even in midnight. I dint think she had serious relationship. And by the way, I remember saying her that she would do the same to me one day.

@Ntwo0 you know all you had to do is tell @potatoiswhoiam that you didn't like her that way right? It's completely immature to just be rude to someone that likes you because you were too chicken to be simply direct and tell her that you don't like her. This is the issue with relationships in general, people who are too scared to directly communicate their feelings then when things don't work out, instead of accepting their bad actions they start blaming the people who couldn't pick up on the indirect communication.

@dornthedude no one is even talking about what you just say. You're talking about a different situation, it seems. We are discussing a person who finds out the person they like, likes someone else. What's most natural and right in that case is to stay away from that person and respect their relationship with whoever they're with at that time. There is nothing bout "not liking her that way"

@potatoiswhoiam then what were you and @Ntwo0 talking about? It seems you were talking about something personally

@dornuthedude it was something personal and related to the topic of this question.

@Ntwo0 well, then I just added on to your personal situation then.
+1 yIt sounds like he is dealing the some jealousy issues. It's very possible he likes you more than just as a friend. I've had similar issues with my female friends that I had feelings for and it took me a while to accept that our friendship what's more important then my fantasies of being in a relationship with her. things are better now, but I do struggle sometimes when she starts dating someone new.

30 ReplyProbably had a crush on you and is distancing himself to get over the hurt of not being able to be with you
00 ReplyIt's because even though it isn't sexual or anything, he might be taking a respectful step back, or he does like you and can't stand it, or he doesn't like your boyfriend and he is not wanting to be a part of it. Who knows

It dosnt make him an ass and it dosnt mean it was only lust he could have been interested in pursuing her romantically but to shy or lacking the confidence to out right say it and knowing he has feelings and can't act on them isn't fair to him or her bec as use he will always have the romantic desire in the back of his head

Guys DO NOT make time in their lives for females (outside of family) that they are not sexually interested in. No straight guy wants to "be your friend" because of your personality.22 Reply- +1 y
Hmmm no, not all guys are complete desperate horn dogs. Guys can be friends with the opposite sex. But it seems like this guy friend wanted to be more than friends
Opinion Owner+1 y@dornuthedude Lying will not win you pussy points bud.
At no point in your life did you ever text a fat ugly girl out of the blue just to see how her day was, and you know it!
You have NEVER made time in your schedule to hang out with a fat ugly girl alone "just because".
Females you reach out to are females you could see yourself having sex with, or else you wouldn't bother.
It's because of guys like you lying to them (and yourself), that women believe their guy friends aren't laying in wait for their opportunity. It's a total lie and you know it as well as I do.
+1 yIt bothered him cause he was jealous and now he stopped talking to you cause your boyfriend got what he wanted but couldn't get. He wanted you.
00 ReplyHe probably thinks that it will effect your friendship, or he could possibly like you. I don't know. Or did your boyfriend tell him to stop coming around you maybe?
