There is nothing worse than unrequited love. Or maybe there is something worse: when you like someone and you think they feel the same, but then they tell you they just want to be your friend. It's really horrible and it's enough to make you want to give up finding love entirely.
Of course, you don't have to feel that way. Hope is not lost. There are some easy ways to tell if the guy in your life wants to be your friend or if he's just waiting behind the scenes for you to say he should be your boyfriend. Just have a careful thought. This applies to if this guy is your co-worker, a good friend or even someone you've had a first date with.
Read on to discover some signs that he just wants to be your friend. Because the sooner you find out about this, the sooner you can move on and start falling in love with someone who really likes you.
Never flirt with you
Sure, it's totally possible to start dating someone who's been a good friend for a long time. It's no wonder that the best relationships start with friends. After all, this means that you know the guy really well and that you clearly enjoy each other's company. And sometimes, Finding someone you can be close to is half the battle when it comes to dating and finding love.
But if this guy never flirts with you, it's a sign that he just wants to be your friend. There really are no two ways to do it. If he likes you, he will flirt with you.
He makes no plans with you
Are you the one who always texts first? Are you the one who always asks when you can stay? If you can answer yes to both questions, then the truth is that this is one of the signs that he just wants to be your friend. If he wants you to be his girlfriend, he will ask you to spend time with him. Why would he sit and wait for you to ask him? He is not a mind reader and does not know when you are going to contact him and ask him to have a beer or go to dinner. He would honestly be asking you those things himself and it would be his idea if he liked you.
He is always busy
When a guy likes you, it doesn't matter how busy he is. Because the truth is that everyone is busy. Between hanging out with your friends, seeing your family, working, and enjoying a hobby or two (not to mention staying healthy and going to yoga and cooking and watching Netflix), you're very busy. This kid is busy too. But you're not too busy to see it, are you? Don't you feel like your schedule is too full? Of course not. Because you like it.
So that should tell you something right there. If a guy likes you, he will never be too busy to see you and spend time with you. If he tells you that he's always busy, that's one of the signs that he just wants to be your friend.
