Single people: Do you have a straight platonic friend of the opposite sex that you talk to every night? (girlfriend, marrying)

[ellie]

I rarely talk on the phone to anyone, even my husband. If one of us is out of town we might talk every other night and check in via text in between.

So no. No talking to anyone every night. That’s too much.

I have quite a few platonic male friends (at least on my side it's platonic) that I talk to frequently, but not everyday. Idk about doing it with an ex though.

Blocking functions has been availble for quite sometime now, OP. Utilize it.

OP.... look at the bright side. At least he’s not “ too busy” to talk to you. Lol

I don’t have any friend that I talk to everyday, regardless of sex.

He’s an ex for a reason. If he were a current love interest I’d want to talk to him everyday.

He's using you.

I don't know what he's trying to do but it sounds like a game.

Well, here's your game: "Tough tiddlywinks, pal. Not happening."

If you don't want to, don't let him guilt you or talk you into it. It sounds like he'd like to rekindle your relationship.

I don't talk to anyone every single day and I don't want to.

Daily phone calls with platonic friends? Nope. I rarely talk to those on the phone at all. Mostly texting.

I agree with those who think that he's not being honest about what he wants.

Do other single people do this? (not interested in what the married or LTR folks do)

Am I wrong?

The only person I knew who did that ended up marrying her friend a few years later.
