What does it mean when a guy wants to be friends?

[LostandFound__x]

A guy you’ve never spoken to before messages you and says can we be friends 😭 FRIENDS WHY

I blocked him lol to me it sounded like he wanted sex

[_Maya_]

He may want exactly that. He may genuinely be looking to make new friends. It also could mean he wants to get his foot in the door so to speak because he has ulterior motives like getting you in bed. I am not suggesting all guys have such intentions but it could be one explanation if you never really talked to the guy. He could be going off your looks and he likes what he sees. He might figure that befriending you is the first step to getting closer to you and his ultimate goal... whatever that is. I know that sounds doom and gloom but it is one explanation. Like I mentioned... he may really just be looking to meet and make new friends and have no other motives behind it.

Oh that's exactly he was trying to show you that he liked you

But he could have used different words. And explain that to you instead of a community friends because I get the same message that you got he just wanted sex that's kind of sad that he asked me that way

but it's kind of good that you're smart and felt that same thing that's cool

That’s weird lol isn’t it assumed you’d at least be friends if you chat? Why specify just friends?

[LostandFound__x]

That’s why I thought he meant something else lol

[Decoded93]

Sounds like it! He just wants to have fun with no commitment, not the ideal situation for most ladies out there, he’s probably not worth talking to

[LostandFound__x]

Yeah oh well at least he was straight up haha

[Decoded93]

So true, I’m glad you’re looking at the bright side of things!

[LostandFound__x]

Haha thanks

Friendship between a man and a woman is possible, sure. Unless one of them finds the other one attractive. So it may be a move to get to know you better, while his intentions are different. Difficult to tell.

More often then not he wants to be more then friends. But he is saying this to “disarm” you. It’s a beta male trick.

It’s extremely rare for straight men to platonically seek out women “just to be friends” with.

[Finchie40]

Because his penis wants to be more than just friends’ with you lol
