maybe he doesnt wanna ruin the friendship, like if they went out and the relationship went wrong, he feels he may lose her?
yeah maybe best to just remain friends then take it from there, if you do feel things could be, a bit more then see how it goes.

So? you cant force someone into it just cause it looks like a perfect match...

I'm sorry, but that's just lies to make the other person feel better. "I don't wanna risk our friendship" means "I just don't fancy you, but I don't want to tell you this because you're my friend."
To be honest, if your friend has asked him, and he's said "no" then she'll probably get over what appears to be a crush (and they're stupid and ****ing annoying things) pretty quickly.
Sorry to be harsh, but stringing along hopes of more than friendship will just make you feel **** and probably make him feel really awkward.
he is just not interested in her i don't think

Not interested.

mi mate has started to like this boy as more than a mate but when she told him he said they should just be mates y can he see it as more than mates
what should she do

Let's see, maybe it's just him making it absolutely pissing obvious that he doesn't like her. :rolleyes: Doesn't matter what everyone else thinks. He doesn't like it. That's why he can't see it. She should back off and leave him alone. Everyone else who thinks they're a perfect match is blatantly wrong because half the couple wouldn't be happy.

If she continues to chase after him, and is always demanding more than just friends. Shes gonna come accross extremely desperate and probabily ruin the friendship they have.

If he likes her, he will tell her. But i get where hes coming from, some people would rather be friends than risk it on something more.

the thing is his mates have told her that he likes her but is too shy as he has never had a girlfriend before
