Do guys with platonic feelings not mind staying friends even if she confesses emotional feelings for him or does it mean more?

[stormyweathering]

I told my guy friend I needed space because I was "too attached to him". He said he "didn't think I was too attached" and talked me into still hanging out. I don't know how to take this.

I meant to type that he said he didn't think I was too attached to him.

Sounds like he likes your company or wants to maybe see if he has feelings too. At least you know that he doe snot want you gone.

But he might want to just be friends with benefits too. So make sure eifnhe likes you it's dating not just a fling for his lust!

Gys won't think that till your stalking him. Gys are pretty thick headed to notice

It's a common misconception that men are incapable of platonic friendships with women. In reality, it frequently happens.

I feel I know he feels platonically. But his response to what I said and the fact he wants to keep hanging out has me confused.

I wouldn't be friends with someone if they have a romantic or sexual interest in me. They aren't mature enough to control how they develop emotions.

ouch. but thank you for your opinion

Stay with him and see what happens. Like if you want to have a platonic relationship and he doesn't mind, why not stay?

[stormyweathering]

Unfortunately, I'm the one that is developing feelings. And I'm scared it's unreciprocated. I braved saying that I was attached but his response confused me. *sigh* I am too afraid to say anymore than that.

If a guy is hanging out with you or initiates hanging out with you, he likes you.
