CindyCares agony aunt Your question is a bit too vague, it's difficult to answer not knowing in which context the words have been told.

And,of course,not all men act the way you say.

Some men will say " I really like you as a friend " simply meaning that they can't see themselves sexually or romantically involved with the woman- not that they are gonna hang out with her a lot or devote her a lot of time . This often generates some confusion and disappointment.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (21 September 2010):

I've told that myself to a girl who loved me in the past. There were 2 reasons for this:

1. I'm a coward and it was just easier to say that (instead of saying I didn't care)

2. I thought this answer would hurt her less. But it really hasn't. It just gave the girl some hope and extended the agony...

Ask this guy again, demanding frank sincerity.

If the guy thinks you like him as more than a friend and he only likes you as a friend, he'll be distant like that. He probably cares enough not to give you any mixed messages.
