I wanna hear YOUR stories, because I was told so many times that it's weir how we became so close with the guy that rejected me

So there was this guy. I knew him for few months when I realises i had feelings for him. He's considered a fuckboy but I knew that and always stood on his side, as I know he just likes to has fun and hasn't hurt anyone yet by doing so. So anyway there was a lot of flirting and everything but I knew he didn't mean it. I told him I liked him and he said not to worrt because everuthyng will stay the same between us. It was awkward for me next day but he actually kept reasuring me I had nothing to be ashamed of and I should just act the same. Long story short in weeks after that we became really closd friends, we literally tslk aboit everything and looking back at past has never been awkward sincr that. I feel like it really helped that I'm very non-judgemental amd he knows he can tell me abiut his hookups and girl that he actually likes and stuff and I will be there for him, not like other people who just call him a fuckboy. There are absolutely no feeling between us (we made out when we were drunk once and it didn't chamge anything at all too) and it's great, I wouldn't have what happened any other way because the whole thing has brought me one of best friends.
