Why would your guy best friend claim that you're more than just a friend when he only view you platonically and desire a sexual relationship?

Sis, that situation is tricky and sounds a bit confusing. A few thoughts:

- Some guys just want the ego boost of a girl having feelings for them, even if they don't reciprocate it. Makes them feel wanted.

- He may view you platonically now but is keeping you on the back burner "just in case" something sexual happens down the line. Kinda messed up.

- Could be secretly into you but is scared of ruining the friendship so hints at more to test the waters without fully committing.

- Attention and compliments from you probably make him feel good, even if it's just platonically on his end.

Regardless of his reasons, standing by while he hints at more but doesn't really want a relationship isn't fair to you darling. You deserve someone who wants all of you, emotionally AND physically.

If I were you, I'd have an honest chat saying the mixed signals are hurting your feelings and ask where he sees things going. Then you'll know for sure if you need to create distance to protect your heart. You got this sis!

Because to him you are a bestie. And he wants another person for a romantic relationship
