Reply To: “What Does He Mean by ‘Let’s be friends for a while’?”

The guy isn’t in to you right now. My guess is he finds you attractive and definitely relationship-worthy, but he’s not over his ex/ doesn’t want a relationship right now. He blew you off because you’re just not that important to him at the moment. He suggested being friends because he recognizes the potential you have to be a great girlfriend and he doesn’t want to miss out on that completely, but he can’t pursue you in that way right now. He hopes that by being “just friends” you’ll be around if he ever decides to pursue something more with you. Basically, by agreeing to be his friend, you’re giving him all the power. Don’t do that. MOA. Tell him you like him and have enjoyed his company but you have enough friends right now. If he ever decides he’s interested in something more with you, he’s welcome to look you up, but you can’t promise you won’t be taken by then. And then say adios!
