Anyone had a male friend talk to them every day?

[Californiaherewecomerightbackwherewestartedfrom]

It's a colleague, hardly see him in work but he messages me virtually daily, unless I message him first.
We're the same age and have a lot in common. We're going out with a few people from work tomorrow (we used to be in the same department but not anymore, but have mutual friends)
Anyway it's hard to understand his intentions. I'm not used to having a straight male want to talk to me so much unless some sort of interest.
We talk about anything, films, hobbies, travelling etc . It's not like flirty or inappropriate, but sort of banter sometimes.

I talk to one of my male friends every day, we text etc. He's like a little brother. We definitely don't fancy each other.

Ahh that's nice :)
This guy is the same age as me and ATM I don't really know him well enough to say exactly, but I'm not sure.

I do. One of my best friends a guy.

Yeah, I suppose it could go either way really. I do like him so it's a bit confusing :(

We're both single too. I might try and step back a little as it's confusing me, but I'm scared of being hurt.

You like him ie fancy him. Or like him as a friend.
I've a good male friend, we message daily but jeez I'm not attracted to him whatsoever.

I fancy him. I haven't known him long enough or know him well enough, he's more of an acquaintance.. but I will see.

Yeah I have a few male friends I message most days. We’ve never fancied each other though.

Your both single, seems like he's putting the effort in despite not seeing you much. Id say he likes you back, ask him out for coffee 1-1 or maybe the pub?

Forgive me if I am wrong, but this thread is awfully similar to quite a few recent threads started under different names asking the same question and written in the same style.

And to answer your question, yes. I have lots of contact on daily basis from male colleague in and out of work. Entirely platonic. We let off steam and have a laugh. I’m married. He is gay.

Ahh no not me sorry 😂 sadly only the one guy haha

I think it depends on the situation I suppose. I had 2 a few years back who I spoke to loads but they both made sleazy comments to me sadly.

It looks promising OP. Let us know how the night goes.

I had one who I met on Tinder (lol) we went on a few dates and were attracted to each other but between us we had 5DC and neither of us wanted a blended family because we didn't think it was fair to our children. So we became friends. We talked daily, went for walks and to the pub and we were friends through us both having new partners etc. I really did think of him as one of my closest friends. Then I announced I was getting married, he confessed that he loved me, I was his one that got away, and that there was no way he could continue the friendship knowing there was no chance for us in the future. I was blindsided. I hate to say that I am now very cynical that men can do platonic friendships so OP, if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck I'd say believe it. I think he's interested, men make the effort when they are IME.

Yeah I do. We talk most every day. Sometimes 5/6 texts, sometimes it's morning till night. There's probably a little more to it than pure friendship to be honest although we don't discuss that.

I had a mate like this at uni. 2 yrs as friends along with others (big group). No romance but knew each other really well.
A chance comment from another friend, and that all changed. Still best friends but now married 25yrs!!
I think being good friends for so long really helped our relationship. Don't put pressure on yourself by thinking too far ahead. Let it move naturally, continue developing your friendship .

Was going to say friendship is a good basis for a relationship. I’d be wary about moving it along just because of potential workplace awkwardness if it doesn’t work out romantically. See what happens naturally?

He's just told me he likes all the same films as I do.. sigh

Yes my best of 25years is male we speak or text every day

Mine sends me songs all day he thinks I'll like. Same vibes.

I am a woman and I have many male friends, who are just friends.
So it could be that he just wants to be your good friend. That's great!

But also...

You are single.
He is single.
You fancy him.
He seems to care about you.
You two have a lot in common with each other.
He contacts you a lot, and you have nice conversations.

Perhaps ask him out?

It did get slightly flirty today!

I’m in a group chat with two of my best mates from school. We’re all late 40s now and it’s all just good friendship.

we’re currently all restoring different cars so there’s a lot of car chat.

I have two close male friends I talk to most days. I’m married, and I can assure you’re they’re not trying to seduce me. Or, if they are, they’re playing a very long game, as I’ve known them 20 years.
