Can a guy be just friends with his girl best friend?

[Anonymous]

For context i’ve been friends with my guy friend for about almost 4 years now. I’ve always had a crush on him since we’ve met. We hangout every now and then and he’s usually the one who initiates the plans. He’s talked about going to the beach together and watching movies together. One time he even came up with this idea that we should get eachother Christmas gifts last year so we did but when i think about it i’ve never done that with any of my other guy friends. He’ll often ask my about my sex life and check up on the guys in my life. He’s even made a joke one time when i asked if he wanted to hangout one day and said “what you wanna fuck that day or what” then continued to say he was joking. We often have flirty banter back and forth and we’ll even heart each others messages sometimes. We facetime pretty often for an hour or hour and a half which i never do with any of my other guy friends. He even played the cords to a song from my favorite artist for me. But after all any time he’s picked me up to hang out he hasn’t tried to do anything yet, could he actually like me?

Hell yeah that. He wants you

A : a "friend" does not asking about your love life.. He knows. A guy who want you " checks" if there is still competition.

B: he plans things and you 2 do it. Even Christmas gifts. ( well to be honest.. It canl

C: he makes jokes about boot calls.. and then screams it is a joke? no he wants booty be realizes he is giving away his intention... So he says.. Ivm joking

D: playing chords of "your" song... Yeah every guy friend does that... NOT.. He. Did. It. For. You.

This all screams.. I want you.. To me..

And if not... He should be ashamed.. Because he is turning your head in side out..

Ok right off the bat, this isn't how any guy treats anyone who's "just a friend". I don't even invest this much time and effort with my guy friends who I've been like brothers with since we were little kids.

It's so blatantly obvious that he likes you wayyy more than just a friend!

I think you basically just answered your own question here. It doesn’t seem like YOU can even be just friends with him, or want to be. These constant jokes that he’s making indicate some level of attraction to you. He may or may not have feelings for you but he clearly wants to sleep with you. I’d hope that he hasn’t been friends with you this whole time in order to eventually get in your pants. You’d have to have a talk with him to see how he’s feeling if you want to be more or if you’re confused about what his jokes really mean.

being friends does include jokes as well, there is nothing wrong

[strawberrybaby3]

Are you that naive lol? A man who looks at you as just a friend (which is rarely the case), isn’t going to joke about having sex with you constantly and flirt with you all the time.

It can and does happen but you both have to be equally not attracted to each other in order for that to work.

Yes why not , but the guy must be real ugly or the other way around

I thought girls were great at reading between the lines?

[adam6402]

Bro it doesn't even require reading between the lines. You only need to be able to read, it's right there in the writing

[spartan55]

I was being generous.

Yes it’s possible and it seems like that is the case with your friend.

[OlderAndWiser]

How old are the two of you?

[Asker]

We’re both 17

It sounds as if he is just extremely shy about expressing his feelings directly. What is his dating experience? What is your dating experience?

Genuine friends can do it easily.

i see no reason for not to be friends

[jahaims]

Yep. I have several female best friends

Of course it's possible.
