'You're so out of his league'

[QueenofWhatever]

I was out with a group of friends last night and it was the first time one of my friends had met a guy I'd had a friends with benefits arrangement with but who is now just a really good friend. We were chatting about him and having been FWB and I said that I thought he had wanted more but that I didn't but being FWB had worked out well.

She said 'well you're so out of his league' and it's just completely foxed me. I'm not sure what she meant by it, it didn't feel like a compliment and has left me feeling a bit uneasy. What would you make of it?

Hello dear, did you get my reply on FB?

I would say she is jealous! Have to hear the tone of it really but as you say it didn't feel like a compliment towards you I'm imagining the tone IFGWIM.

It sounds like a compliment out of context but did she say it in a way that didn't?

[Trills]

It means that she thinks he is not much of a catch.

[QueenofWhatever]

Who - got your message, sorry haven't replied, still catching up after half term.

I don't think she's jealous as she's been happily married for twenty years. I wonder if trills is right and maybe that's why it feels uncomfortable because it's not that complementary about him and he's a lovely man.

I am obviously a complete babe .

I would think she meant that she didn't think much of him, thought you could do better, and wondered if/why you were selling yourself short.

Maybe you see a side of him that she can't see.

What Trills said.

But you know - he's a fwb or rather was - not a long term option.

It could be meant either way, only a tone would tell.

I would like to meet these people that decide on people's leagues...
