She's letting you down easy. Her choices are
1. Say she likes you but wants to stay friends because that's all she wants to be
or
2. Say she doesn't like you and then not be friends with you anymore
3. This rarely happens, but once every few centuries a girl comes along who does not want a boyfriend so she will use this
usually it means she wants to be with you but if it doesnt work out, she doesnt want to risk loosing you as a friend
Well it means that he does want to go out with you but he doesn't want the relationship to not work out and it ruin your good friendship.
Well when she says that she likes you as a friend means that, she doesn't want to break that friendship that you guys have. Because if you guys go out and break up then that friendship is gone. Like it is not going to be the same like before.
It means he likes you somewhere inside but just likes your friendship and wants it to stay like that till he feels ready to make that certain move you cant wait for
Make it clear you are only interested in a friendship.
It means he likes you but it depends if he smiles when he says it.
He values your friendship and doesn't want to lose you however, he also may be telling you in a subtle yet obvious way that he likes you and would like more.
Ask her.
He probably either is trying to tell you that he want's a relationship again, or he just wants to have sex.
he means he feels a bond but its not a romantic bond, he feels like he doesnt LOVE you, he likes you. Like a best friend, not a boyfriend.
Try just talking to her and building a good, strong friendship. Eventually, if you like her, ask her to go to a movie or something. If she says yes, then she likes you, if she hesitates, he doesn't want to be mean, and no, well, then she doesn't want to go.
it means he likes you. dont over analize anything a guy says
When a guy says he wants more than friendship, it means he probably wants to be in a relationship.
