Ladies, what does this mean?

iAMaPhoenix

The one thing a man never wants to hear from a female friend..."I don't want to do anything that would cause me to lose you as a friend".

A friend on MFP posted this and we and are wondering what this means when a lady says this to you. I say it means she really want to pursue it but is afraid of how it may end up or she wants some NSA action. Am I way off base here? Please help so my friend won't miss any open invitations out there.

If I said it then it's a very nice brush off. Not trying to hurt his feelings but definitely not trying to get with him either. In my experience if someone wants to be with you they aren't worried about losing you as a friend.

boomboom011

her way of saying she loves you in God's way not in a boyfriend/girlfriend type way.

scs143

Yeah, I agree with emmy. It's a nice way of saying, I don't want to get with you.

I want to know what "NSA action" is......................

odusgolp

It's avoiding saying, "I don't want to sleep with you... ever."

WarriorMom2012

Yep, she's trying to let him down gently. If she wanted to get busy with him, she wouldn't be worrying about the friendship!

TNGURL

It means she's not into him.. She was trying to let him down easy...

Its an easy way of saying, I think of you as a friend. Like a brother. You are a non sexual entity and always will be.

i believe it means no strings attached....so sex with no relationship

tkn11

I've never said this. I don't punk out when someone likes me and I don't. I tell them I don't like them. Harsh?

gracielee1

When she tells you that, believe it. And move on to the girl who actually WANTS to be in a relationship with you (or your friend).

You could always ask the person that said/wrote it.

Oh, what am I thinking?! Speculation is always better.

Pollywog - NSA actions means no strings attached...

shedoos

Yeah, I agree with emmy. It's a nice way of saying, I don't want to get with you.

I don't necessarily agree with everyone else... I have had some great close male friends with whom there was a physical attraction but because the friendship meant so much to me I didn't want to risk losing it by seeing what else was there.... In the end though, no matter the reason for the "no", it is still a "no, I don't want to go there".

LOL. So true!

No honest, with out leading anyone thus causing hurt feelings later. I always tell guys straight up if I don't like them and they like me.

LOL. So true!

and then freakin' let us know!!!

sarahgilmore

I had a guy say that to me once, genuinely.

Wanted to go out with me but was worried about what would happen if we broke up (had happened to mutual friends of ours and it got VERY nasty and uncomfortable for all involved), so decided he'd rather just be friends.

I moved on.

I am glad my MFP friends understand me and don't think this is stupid...which tells us a lot about you if you got "sucked into this stupid topic thread" IJS.

It's called being put in the friend zone. It's nothing like an endzone because there will be absolutely no scoring!

JamieSK

Not interested in romantically speaking...like the person they are but don't want to date them. (EVER)

This. Nobody is mature enough to say "I'm super hot for you, but being together could ruin our friendship, so no thanks."

_Timmeh_

Guys opinion...it means she thinks you have a "great personality"

CaptainGordo

May mean that she has something catchy. Might be for the best.

Iamfit4life

no attraction
doesn't want you
doesn't even think they are funny enough to overlook the fact she isn't attracted
