When should I reach out to him and how?

[HappyWoman34]

I have this guy friend in my friend group who seemed like he was flirting with me, so I told him I’m only interested in friendship, as I don’t feel a spark. He acted fine, but seems a bit distant. I care about him as a mate, but that’s it. I want to reach out, but I don’t know how. Or if I should. How should this be done?

[impalabill77]

If you do reach out. Just tell him. I would reach out.

[HappyWoman34]

I already did tell him and he’s gone weird.

[impalabill77]

How so?

[HappyWoman34]

He’s acted like I was being silly, for thinking he was interested in me and he’s gone silent.

[impalabill77]

It sounds like to me he put on a brave face now that you placed him in the friends zone he doesn't see the point to talk to you anymore.

[HappyWoman34]

Oh okay. Well, that’s his right.

[Dongie]

Ask if he wants go grab a bite to eat. Then he'll know you were true about being friends.

[gorydetails]

You don't reach out to him. He's not interested in being your friend.

[Jennz6]

Don’t, let him come to you
