My guy friend said I was his girlfriend but I don’t want a boyfriend

So I know it was a joke but when my guy friend and his mom came over we all had a chat and caught up since we know each other well.
My dad asked my guy friend if he had a girlfriend and he said no. He was like why not. He looked stroked. Then he said that I was his girlfriend. My face got bright red. I was like, “Oh we’re a thing now?” His mom said, “Well you know now.” My dad hugged him. I know they’re just joking but now I’m kind of upset. Nothing wrong with my guy friend but I don’t see him that way. I never dad. I know he liked me back then but he never called or asked in on a date. He asked he to go to the school dance several times. I did go with him twice but we’re JUST FRIENDS. My dad knows I’m single. What if my guy friend really asks me out! I love being single.

Your parents see him as boyfriend material and are giving you a very crude (and cringy) hint.

It's not the guy's fault.

Just in case, you should probably drop a clear hint to your friend that you don't see him that way.

If you get along with him and he's one of your best friends might as well go out with him. Make a list of all the things you don't like about him why you would never date him then make a list of all the reasons why you would date him if you were interested in dating someone.
