I have an opposite problem. When I (I'm a guy btw) was in school, I sometimes just want to have friends but whenever I talked to girls, I worry that girls would just think I have some other motive (which it seems to me like every boy in my class do just want romantic relationships). Like maybe I'm asexual/aromantic, but I never wanted those types of relationships, I prefer a long lasting friendship.

(I don't have much friends either way, regardless of gender; current amount of friends is: zero; because I just stopped talking to people after highschool, oh well ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ)

That was pretty much it for me with a few different female friends. It wasn't so much "hey you're hot and I wanna sleep with you rather than just be friends" it was "hey, I really enjoy spending time with you and I'm happy being around you, but I've been down this road before and I know it probably ends when you get a new boyfriend so... maybe I can be that boyfriend and we can continue to enjoy spending time together"
