So my best friend was talking to this guy. They’ve been talking for a few months now. They aren’t dating or anything like that they just talk. She tells me everything they talk about because she likes to ask me for advice.

Today she told him that she was no longer going to really talk to him as much because she felt like she had crossed a line with him and didn’t want to.

Well he texted her and told her that he was sad about what she decided but ok. She came and asked me why he was sad and I told her “maybe he will miss talking to you” but he has told her in the past that it’s never going to be anything between them so why would he be sad now that she isn’t going to talk to him as much? This has me stumped 🤔 Why would her decision make him sad and why would he tell her “This is the reason I don’t talk to people?”
