Are we friends or acquaintances?

[Anonymous]

I have a non romantic relationship with a guy. We have a history dating back to high school where we started as crushes, became friends and planned a relationship. Things did not work out and over the past few years we have lost contact and reconnected a few times. He is in a relationship, I am single and focused on completing a goal. Just to make it clear we do not flirt, or revisit the past so we are 100% platonic. In the past we spoke non stop. At present we just randomly message each other with well wishes or if we need to talk something over. The frequency of our interactions makes me believe we are acquaintances. The conversations are usually why have I not done this or am I wrong. The topics feel like a conversation one would have with a friend. I am not sure what to consider him, friend, acquaintance or neither?

Friends

Acquaintances

Neither

A Friend in processing but i would describe you as acquaintance. If communication increases then it is likely relationship is not going well.

Not saying this in a rude way at all by why does it need a specific label? Whatever you two have going on, you really don’t have to put a name on it.
