it means he doesn't want a relationship beyond friendship
It depends on exactly how he phrased it and the situation. If he said something like, "I think of us as friends," or you hinted you wanted something more and he said, " I look at you as a friend," then it would appear he wants nothing more than a platonic relationship. If he approached you and said, "I want to be your friend," then it could be headed in either the same or different direction. Still, this is all a guess based on the information you have given. The only way to find out for sure, is to out-and-out ask him.
it means that hes trying his best but he wants to just be friends
He might just want to be friends with you or he wants you back.
maybe he just wants his friends to know that he has a girlfriend , but he really does not like you.
It means he truly cares about you and wants to be with you. Don't be worried about it. It just means that he wants to spend time with you, and there's nothing wrong with that. My boyfriend does it all the time hed rather be with me than his friends.
If you mean plain, vanilla "friends" with other girls, not "boyfriend", there is not a thing wrong with that - he is a normal human being. If you don't want him to be even "just friends" with any other girl, the problem is yours, not his.
Your boyfriend's friend might have liked you enough to become friends.
It depends, but usually it just means that your good friends with him. If he has a gf then it could mean he wants to brake up with her for you.
he doesnt like you that way...
He might want to say his dumping you and he wants to set you up with one of his friends.
no that would be mean + he probably just wants to get to know them better well it really depends how long you have been with him?
he means he just wants to be friends
It means she don't want a boyfriend or she just wants to hang around with her mates who she likes a lot if she has a boyfriend and is still just going with mates it probably means she is afraid or sommit xx
