I would just say “hi, thanks for being honest with how you are feeling. Unfortunately, I’m spending my time and energy finding a partner who is compatible with me. I wish you luck and hope you find what you are looking for.”

And that’s how situationships start.

You don’t owe him an explanation. Give it a thumbs up and leave it be.

The only men I’ve known who do this tend to collect women and keep them on the back burner so they can circle back later when they want a situationship.

“Friends” for a man means that he wants to play on your feelings for him, and sleep with you without the commitment. Tell him you’re not interested in being friends, and wish him well

You’re not interested in being friends so you say nothing. You simply move on

He left it for you to decide if you are. So let him know you're not interested in just being friends. You're dating with intention. GL

Tell him thanks but no thanks. You don't owe him friendship. But don't be surprised if in a few weeks, months, or years he's suddenly interested in a relationship with you. Don't do it.

I just went on a date and felt exactly the same. He was so much fun but I didn’t feel a physical attraction. He really likes me but I communicated that I didn’t see it developing into something romantic. He said “I’m glad we met but I’m looking for a relationship. I wish you the best” it was a perfect response.

He doesn’t want to be friends, he wants to use you without dating. He either wants you around until he finds what he believes is a datable women (and then you’ll never hear from him again), or he’s hoping “being friends” turns into a hook up situation.

It was the best date because you’re interesting and you’re funny - I have learned the dates that I have a good time on is because of me, not them. Truly - I look back at the date and the conversation and if I was the driver of it all - I realize I’m the fun and interesting one.. not him. So circle back on the date, and maybe with a new perspective you’ll realize you are not the problem. Because I highly doubt you are.

Girl don't feel rejected be happy e told you upfront. Men don't want "friends". If you continue to be friends with him he will try to turn it into friends with benefits. Tell him you're dating with intention and you want to hang out with someone who will lead into a long term relationship.

Stay single. Tell him thank you for his thoughts and block him.

I think he just offered friendship to “soften” the blow. He probably had not intentions of actually hanging out as friends. I’d just say “no thanks” and block 💀

Say “thanks for the honesty, I’m looking for a relationship though not a friendship so I wish you the best, take care”. The end.

You’re cool as hell, I assume you have enough friends. Maybe delete his number and continue on your way - not every message needs a response. ❤️
