He keeps hinting at something

One of my guy friends keeps teasing me about being single and not wanting to date. Then I told him the reasoning behind me not wanting love and then he made me promise him that if any guy asked me out, I had to say yes and give them a try. How would you interpret that?

He's encouraging you to be open minded?

He’s deffo hinting at something. And for the record guys and girls can’t be friends some develops feelings sooner or later but no one actually says anything until you’re bolder enough or you want to say but don’t get rejected like your friend here.

Unless there is different sexual orientation involvement but a straight guy and girl can’t be friends. That doesn’t mean every guy-girl friendship will end up in dating. Research shows that we are capable or being friends but a thought and and if an opportunity of romance occurs someone might take the step. Even if you won’t publicly admit you’ve had a crush on your friend privately I’m sure you would have thought “he/she is cute.” Or “it could be cute if we were together” etc etc. Moreover, guys mostly look for physical attraction and will befriend girls who they think are physically attractive so they have a higher chance of dating them. But that can be for a certain period of time however long or short. Anyway in your case your guy friend may have found some sort of attraction to you and because the subject of you dating has been brought up he thinks he may have a chance. In clarification you may meet someone and think of them as a friend but one or the other will develop feelings as you said quite rightly but you wouldn’t think if your friends in a romantic way would you?

I have just finished my undergrad in development psychology. I have studied relationships for 2 months and I now work with teens and I have seen many messed up relationships cases.

Everyone thinks they are unattractive in some way or form but an outsiders perspective is different. Your friend here may think you are extremely beautiful. And besides don’t be negative about yourself, life is to short to worry about all that x
