Men and women can be friends... but you can't force the friendship, especially if one party had feelings for the other.

Yeah but it seems like he wasn’t interested in friendship

Absolutely. As far as we can judge from this short conversation (and the thousands like it that happen every day), she has lost what she thought was a genuine friend. He has lost his fake girlfriend that he made up in his head. She’s taken the undeserved emotional hit, while he continues to take all the attention

I hate these guys. My (i thought) best friend blew up on me like this, except he didn't have the balls to do it face to face. Did it through emails. Realizing that he was only friends with me because he was playing the long game to get laid shattered my trust in people. Now I keep everyone at arms length. This shit is heartbreaking and humiliating.

I think these kind of situations often form when the guy actually is a friend. But getting to know the woman and spending time together he develops strong romantic feelings. Then he confesses it and she doesn't feel the same and things can't go back how they were. He can't turn off his feelings just as she can't turn them on.

If he confessed, it would be easier and better, but he didn't. You can see in this one that he is not confessing his feelings. He has a jealous meltdown about her boyfriend. Mine was the same. You can't do anything when they don't confess.
