: a friend with whom one is not in a romantic relationship when one might possibly be Sara and Joe say they are just friends.

What does it mean when a guy says your just a friend?

All you have asked for in return is their love. I can also understand why you are anxious that the relationship might end. The man you love has repeated that he considers you a friend, while your feelings for him run much deeper. It simply means that he doesnt feel the same way about you that you feel about him.
