why do men try to make some men think it's more to a female friendship than what it really is?

maybe he loves you\nmaybe he is so insecure about himself he has to LIE about you and him...\nask him straight out..if he likes or LOVES you and see what he says..\nif it was me..I would do it in front of his friends and then let him see what he is going to say..maybe have a friend or two with you so they can back your story up..\n\ngood luck\n\nsmile

It is common for men to flirt with their female platonic friends. But it seems like at first this guy was taking it a bit farther, in my opinion he is either already married or in another committed relationship, and he wanted to see how far he could take it before you responded. In some way he also wanted to see if he was still desirable to the opposite sex. So he's either a big jerk or he's afraid of letting you get to close, because of your locations. I hope this helps.

Because men THINK they know more than women.\nMy apologies if this was a girls question ;-)

It's because moreso men think about that stuff than women.

It's really quite simple, men are very basic feed us make us feel wanted and show us that your into us and we would walk through walls for you while women overthink everything because they don't understand how basic men are

well the reason we know usually is because we also are waiting for the invite! not all women dont get me wrong but alot of us lol and we can pick up on the vibe and the look when a man wants to sleep with us women you men have a "certain look" about you i would say good luck to you but it seems as if you have it all under control! lol but always be safe and respectful of us women

It was never meant to be that way. You will never find a "normal" guy who says he wants to just be friends with a woman by way of a platonic relationship. However I have heard women say that. Whether they are lying or not, I don't know. If a man says it, he is lying! When a woman starts revealing her personal feelings about things in her  life to her supposed platonic male friend, he either wants to do one of three things. He wants to either protect her, take advantage of her while she is in her weakness, or tell her to shut the hell up with her constant whining! Too much hormonal interference going on!\n    As a man, I am telling you the truth. That is why I avoid platonic relationships with women. I know my own limitations.  Besides that, I am married and my wife doesn't go for that stuff! By the way ladies, are women lying when they say that?

we see all women as friends...BUT...we also see them as women, the first chance we get, the friendship is not as important anymore as it is to score...don't get me wrong though, we can be friends, just never give us the impression that we can be more...

guys get that way because some guys dont know when to quite and they dont know when to stop acting shy around us girls.

They think the same about us...there is a major communication barrier.  Men and women communicate in totally different ways and therefore messages get misread.

oh, men.. you never know what the motive is.. how about he likes just you? maybe he's being nice to your friend to make you jealous or confused? does the thought make you happy? then just beleive it, till you know for sure.

Some times, a man can seem insanely more desirable to a woman- just because another woman seems as if she may be a threat to the relationship.  That's why some men who travel for business actually pretend to be married, by wearing a fake wedding band- nothing seems to be more appealing than a man who's already garnished the official approval of another woman!   On that note, don't let the spirit of competition come between either you and a good female friend, or you and a man who could possibly be 'the one'.  Unfortunately, women aren't above playing 'head-games' - I've known some women who ONLY enjoy flirting with, & teasing guys who are attached.  For some reason, even though these women are usually relatively attractive, they tend to be painfully insecure, & they only seem to want to prove (to themselves, as well as every one else)that they can have any and every man whom they 'desire'.  Only YOU can make an informed and intuitive decision as to what is really going on in this situation- Trust both your observations and your instincts, and you'll make the right choice.

Sometimes guys are just trying to look cool and sometimes they try to look like they don't care so much.  Deep inside they are jealous though.  It's human nature.  They won't say it, but they will act on it.  Probably in a more shady way if not talk directly to the other guy.  But if they say they're not jealous, it's a total BS.

Women have this thing of wanting to believe the man will change and they can work things out because they want it to work so badly whereas men have the right thing in mind...They know that they would never be able to trust the woman and that it would bother them forever and it's an ego thing for men so they are able to walk away.\nWomen won't let things be over until they say it's over.

A friend to a guy is different from a friend with a girl...Usually guys have lots of girlfriends because the idea creeps in of "keeping your options open"...men seldom have girl friends (2 words) and it not go through the man's mind at some point that his friend has been considered for something more.....one major exception is if the girls he talks to are girls he knew for a long time...through school, church etc....then it feels like brother and sister...but if he has just recently met these girls then in all likelihood he is keeping his options open...

Mainly because men want to be and mostly think they are the "leaders" in the relation; when a strong woman appears, they are afraid they would loose their superiority and that scares them!

Guys are not like girls here, we do not send out little hints that we like a girl. Pretty much if you are a girl and we talk to you when we don't have to that means you have a shot. \n\nAlso guys don't collect female friends like girls do with guys. The phrase "I wouldn't want to ruin our friendship" is usually only said by girls. Not to say that we don't enjoy having female friends (my best friend in the world is a girl) but like Chris Rock said "I have some female friends but they are all by accident, it was some girl I was trying to date and I messed up and suddenly I was in the friend zone." My point being if a guy is being friendly to you it isn't because he wants to be your friend per se.\n\nIn short guys only talk to girls to get something from them, either a date or notes or something. If a guy you like comes up to talk to you just to talk and he doesn't ask for anything you have a shot
