My guy loves being a sounding board for all his female friends’ problems. It makes him feel needed (his words). I’ve had to point out a few times when certain friends took his attention the wrong way and were becoming a bit overzealous in their contact. It was a real problem for a few years after he joined social media. He had no concept they might misinterpret his attention for romantic interest. I don’t mind at all him being a good friend and sounding board for them. He is a good listener and advice giver. I just asked him to set healthy boundaries to protect our relationship. 💜
