If a guy you like says he "just wants to be friends" with you, there are two things you can do:
A guy likes me, but just wants to be friends A guy might tell you he wants to stay friends for a number of different reasons:
Try asking him why he doesn't want to take his feelings for you any further, as this might be the easiest way to get a straight answer.
Getting a guy to be more than just friends
If you don't want to be so upfront about things, you could try taking a more 'covert' approach.
You could try getting the guy in question to appreciate different sides of you, which might make him realize his feelings go further than just simple friendship.
Guys are very visual, so you may want to change how you dress or how you do your hair when you're around him. This will make him wake up and notice your physical appeal.
As friends, try and spend more time having genuine fun with each other. Make an effort to get into the hobbies and interests he's involved in. This will make him realize how compatible you two are, and how great a proper relationship might be.
- Accept his decision and move on.
- Fight to try and change his mind.
