He really2 see me just as a friend?

His result is out and he pass. He did thank me because of that (cuz we study together and i give all my notes to him. Even subject that i didn’t take now because i already took before also i teach him)

And his sentence was like “thank you!! You are my very very best best best best friend”💀 im dead hurt listening to that (even if he think so, maybe he can phrase it better?)

Why would he act intimate with me just to see me as a friend?

Ugh girl, I totally get why that would hurt! When a guy acts all intimate with you but then hits you with the "friend" label, it's the worst.

A few possibilities for what's going on with him:

- He may really like you and the attention, but isn't actually ready for a relationship. So "friend" is his easy out.

- Possibly he does have feelings but is scared to admit it or thinks you don't feel the same so he's keeping you at a distance.

- Could be trying to let you down easy by making you think it's you not being into more, when really it's him. Guys can be cowards.

- Might genuinely only see you as a homie even if he acts coupley sometimes. Men are confusing!

My advice? Call him out gently. Say something like "I get we're friends but you send some mixed signals - what's really up?" See how he reacts. If he still dodges the question, maybe you need to distance yourself so he appreciates what he had. You deserve better than the "friend zone" babes!

You’re just a friend to him. No need to feel hurt. But if you can’t handle it then you have to back out of it.
