Why would a guy say “my friend wants to add you on social media to talk, but I don’t want to lose you”?

It usually mean that he either values you much as a friend and does not want to loose you or he may be insecure and possessive and does not like to share his (female) friends with other (male) friends or that the friend maybe wants to date you and he wants to protect you from him or your friend is in love with you and does not want another guy to get you.

He likes you and doesn’t want you to like his friend

The guy weird as fk, he probably can't tell his friend directly that he has a crush on you so he's saying to you to not talk to him.

Don't date him or his friends, they weird.

Both are spineless.

That means he sees you as his friend. His friend also likes you. He worries that if you talk to him friend, you won't talk to him anymore and you will forget about him.

"my friend wants to have a fling with you but I have a crush on you, he asked me if he could approach you and because I'm too scared to approach you, it only seems fair to tell him yes only now my fight/flight response is overpowering my fear of asking you out"

[melanieeeB]

He indirectly don't want you to go and text this friend for whatever reason it might be

[Nessieeeeee]

He likes you! He doesn't want you to date his friend.

[rienna888]

It means he likes you and afraid you would like the friend more. So don’t add his friend if you like him lol

[anon1903]

i'd tell him "grow up"

[Stevefiveo]

Probably because he knows his friend is a stud and will probably seduce you.

[Crankor]

Means he knows his friend wants to hook up with you and the likely hood his hope will be gone
