Well, it was a few days ago and I had text him by saying “How was your day. If you don’t feel the same way, then maybe we could be friends.
If you like my ideas then call me. Bye! This is Jamila!"
And he had said “we should just be friends."
What does this mean?
What should I say?
My mom had said friendships are one of the nicest things to have.
I ask had told my friend yesterday about it and he had said "that's a good idea."
Please (nice things), thanks!

.....It means what it says. "We should just be friends." It means that right now he doesn't want the relationships to be more than that. You shouldn't be upset with this (for long, anyway)...he has a right to choose the kinds of relationships he wants. So do you.
I recommend that you see his answer as good news. So be friends! Your mom is right. Friendships are wonderfully nice things to have.
But more than that, the best romantic relationships are based on friendship. In other words, make acquaintances first, and some of these could become friendships. Later, some of your friendships could become best friends, or romantic relationships. Take it one step a time. Or better yet, don't have a goal. Just be friends. In other words, just ENJOY the friendship and see what that turns out to be like, what you learn about the guy.
Good luck, Jamila!

your mom is so right! friendship is the greatest ! good true friends are very rare and hard to find. friendships can be there for you when all else fails you and can , if nurtured carefully and they are healthy positive ones, not controlling andabusive, last a lifetime.
often a long term friendship can develop into love and even marriage later on but never devalue a good friend. its a compliment to you that people want you as a friend . men and women can be good friends and you are so young you have alot of time to test out and try many relationships before you need to become intensely involved in lasting love . just enjoy your young years and friends and do not push for more. from this person. wait and see what develops and if its just friends forever and nothing more well, thats a precious gift in itself.

It means he's not ready for a relationship but would like to be friends with you. Your Mom is right, friendships are the best. That way you can hang out with each other without anything getting in the way. I hope you 2 become good friends and have lots of good times together.

To have good friends is always a good idea. Friends are the social link for an individual ,who always stand by him at the time of need. It is said that " A friend in need is a friend indeed". Therefore, friends are supposed to know all good things as well as the bad things about each other, but they never take advantage of this. There are certain limits of friendship which are ought to be honoured at any cost.

i think i have the gist of what you're saying. if the guy doesn't feel the same way about you that you feel about him and agrees to your idea of friendship, that's better than nothing if you like him. every interest in the opposite sex doesn't have to be a bf/gf relationship, some are meant to be friendships and the basis of any worthwhile relationship is a sound friendship. people come in and out of our lives for various reasons and periods of time (biblically called seasons). his may be to be your friend..some one that you rely on and vice versa.

Let me see if I can translate for you. In todays dating lexicon, “we should just be friends." translates to, "This relationship is over. I'm looking to move on to somebody else if I haven't already." Now, what that does not mean is "I don't ever want to see you again." but the dating relationship aspect of it is over. You should go look for somebody else more appreciative of the qualities and talents that you bring to a relationship.
I wish you the best of luck. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. :-(

He likes you only as a friend and probably was feeling that you wanted it to be more. He probably has someone special already and wants to make it as clear as possible without hurting your feelings.
