I hang out with my guy friend a lot and while I like him, I don’t want to have sex with him outside of a relationship. There’s some flirting here and there but nothing physical ever happened.
One night we were talking about boundaries and I told him no sex because we’re not in a relationship. He was so shocked and was so confused asking me why it needed to be said and I said, “well friends sleep with friends. I just don’t want that for us because we’re aren’t together.”
Now he hasn’t texted me back at all. Was he genuinely not my friend this whole time?
OK MORE INFO: during the conversation, we were talking about his hook ups. We joke about it a lot and so that’s why I said what I said.
MORE CONTEXT: ok so the whole friends sleep with friends comment I made is regarding the fact that HE is very into casual sex and would have sex with his other female friends who aren’t me. We were having dinner and talking about these hookups and how they mean nothing to him and I responded by saying “that can’t happen to us because I don’t have sex outside of a relationship.”
He was then very shocked at my response so that’s when I said “well friends sleep with friends…”
