I'm calling in about an issue that I have with a friend who just kind of doesn't get the boundary I'm trying to set with our friendship here.

Basically, I worked with this guy for probably six months or so and we were work friends, you know, got

happy hour every now and then and eventually became golfing buddies, like we would go and golf probably once a week or once every other week.

And recently, after knowing him for about a year,

he asked me if I would be in his wedding

as a groomsman.

And to be honest, I was pretty caught off guard and I said yes because you can't really

deny someone that I feel like and I don't hate the guy you know I, I don't see him as that level of friends, but I'm happy to be there for him.

And ever since then he has kind of tried to step up our friendship, like he'll ask me for prime times like to hang out on like

Saturday nights or or plan long weekends well in advance and ask me to like go to a cabin with him and his

girlfriend and his girlfriend's friends none of which are very hot

and so I'm really respect hot.

Respect.

You would have never got this call.

It's true.

The cabin with him and his girlfriend's friends, none of which are very hot.

And so I was very content with the relationship being just golf buddies and someone that I hang

out with every now and then he's clearly trying to

escalate it to like a best friend level so how do I preserve the golf

friendship without taking it up the chain like what he's trying to do.

Do you have any advice on that that would be great? Thank you.

Interesting.
