Guy friend acts clingy and won‘t stop...
So I tried to talk to my guy friend about boundaries last night, and he acted like I was speaking another language.
I told him I love him as a friend, but he’s way too comfortable with me lately — constant touching, comments, calling me “his girl” like it’s a joke. I finally said, “Hey, some stuff just isn’t appropriate.”
He goes, “I’ve told you before, just chill. What, you want me to stop talking to you?”
Like bro… no one said that. I just want basic respect.
It’s wild how “setting a boundary” suddenly makes you the bad guy. I swear, some dudes think being friendly equals being available.
Now I’m wondering if I should actually pull back or just ghost him quietly.
Because if I have to explain “personal space” again… is it even worth it?

He is not a real friend. A real friend (boy or girl) understands what boundaries are without you having to explain them. A real friend listens and acknowledges what is making you uncomfortable and stops. Walk away from this person. He is not your friend.
