What does it mean when a guy says you're his "best friend"? (Page 2)

Question

Ok, what I mean is when a guy says to a girl "You are one of my best friends" or "You're my best friend" Does he actually think more of you? Like when a guy says that does he mean something deeper than what he says? For an example when he says it does he really mean he likes you as a girlfriend? Or is it just merely you're his best friend and nothing more? Just curious, I am not serious about it, I just don't know if guys say these things to almost give the girl the hint that he likes her more than a friend and wants her as a girlfriend? or if he just means you're his best friend?. Please Answer! I am so curious! Thank you! :)

It can mean more. It just depends on the context in which it is said. If I tell a girl that, I mean it. Doesn't mean she can't be more, but I have no reason to bullshit my friend.

kooper · Answer

Sounds more like a friend. But I would definitely go for my best friend if he was a girl ;)

NerdInDenial · Answer

You're in the friend zone if he says that comment. It could potentially become more, but it probably won't.

LiamJHayden · Answer

It can mean exactly that - my best friend since I was four has been the same girl, almost 24 years now. Or it could the guy is shy and insecure and is making sure you really like him. Or it could be a dude trying to surreptitiously seduce you.

If he calls you 'best friend' then my sister, you have been friendzoned.

Paul09 · Answer

Usually you hook up with your "best friend". Why else you "bestfriends"? I guess there's a slim chance you are just real good friends, but are not physically attracted or something? Well hard to say really..

MoAli · Answer

I met a lady online two years ago.. She's my best friend and I always said that.. I like her so much.. But as a friend.. Cause she's already taken and has a family.
So saying you are my best friend depends on the situation you are in

spartan55 · Answer

A guy never wants to be 'just friends' with a girl. It just doesn't work.

Anonymous · Answer

It means he's friendzoned you forever.. RIP
He doesn't find you pretty at all. Tbh I'd tell him off, he doesn't care at a for you. It's only hurting when a guy you like says that
You don't need his friendship

Anonymous · Answer

you should bury yourself in collecting useful information if you don't have complete information to judge someone.
If he is a mean person you should go to ask him about his words straightly.
otherwise don't take it seriously and keep an eye on him so you won't lose any opportunities.

If a guy goes out of his way to happily mention that she is his best friend then you can almost guarantee that he has no romantic interest in her

grashopper · Answer

Friendzoned? Although I don't like that word since it is perpetuated by "nice guys" who aren't nice and by "players", "ladies men" who aren't nice either and have no real clue about women.
