If there’s a pattern look for a constant. Maybe boundaries aren’t good enough and you should recalibrate those. It’s also a good idea for genders to consider biology and instinct when you are setting your boundaries for the friendship to flourish platonically. We miss read signals easily and fantasize with the smallest of interactions. Just be clear so he doesn’t get away with feelings. We struggle to interpret women. When we pick a romantic partner we choose a woman that cares and could be our closest friend to share our life with so don’t put yourself in that position and you won’t struggle with that anymore.
