So far I've had three girls say this to me already, each of them I'm almost sure were very much attracted to me. This seems to be something that girls do, in general. What does it mean?

Please respond with some actual introspective illumination on why a girl would do this, not some bullshit that says "she just wants to be your friend". Obviously we know women talk in coded language.

I've considered that it might be for their own sake, to convince themselves they don't like you. That's really really unlikely. I'm thinking it's to send a messahe to me, rather than to themselves. I think it might be to show you that they are not "easy", that you don't have them already (a sort of shit-test), and at the same time displaying that they appreciate you (in my case, everytime it was said it was done in an appeciative manner).

What do you guys think? I'm sure this is a very very frequent thing... now that I think about, I think a fourth girl has said this to me online as well. Currently Ive been responding with a "haha for now!"

What's the context? Could just be the way they talk. I know this girl I had kissed 2 years ago on Halloween who subsequently blew up my phone my semi-naked photos of herself and she called me "friend" recently, don't even remember what we were discussing... and then we went on a date and I made out furiously with her. I hardly even registered it.

At the risk of sounding too much like Gunwitch, I ignore anything that doesn't fit my frame up to the point where they flat out say "I'm not interested in you."

Donno, can't really tell you without seeing the conversations. But my guess is that you may be overly friendly (like doing favours and such) and not flirty enough.

Before she can respect you, you need to respect yourself.

From a woman's point of view - if I'm attracted to a guy I would not use the word "friend". I would keep it flirty and light, but "friend" is a definite steer in the platonic direction.

My advice...if a woman wants to play games and use "friend" as some sort of bait to try and make you show/do more to "convince" her - DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

You shouldn't waste your time trying to convert "friends" into "more". Women know right away if they are sexually interested in you. If they're into playing games about that forget them.

Women don't speak in code ( ie say one thing and mean the opposite) - but they are always looking to see how much effort you will make to try and get them.

REMEMBER - their main game is getting ATTENTION not sex. Don't feed the fire. If they just want to be friends let them go.

I don't think this is that common either. At least I've never had anyone write that.
