Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So this happened about two weeks ago. I was really close with this one guy, we used to hang out a lot (online, bc he's from another country), watch films, play together etc. It was fun times and I really enjoyed hanging out with him.

However every now and then, pretty much every time we talked, he would just give me compliments and praise me, all out of nowhere. Saying things like "you're amazing" or praising my looks, giving me pet names or even saying "I love you" several times (sometimes followed by a message that would say "you're a great friend" or something similar).

Now don't get me wrong. It's extremely sweet of him and I was really flattered, however me being in a serious relationship with my boyfriend, I didn't really enjoy this kind of attention from another guy, even if he means it in a friendly way, it just didn't feel right. For weeks I've been thinking about telling him to stop, but didn't really wanna do it because I was scared it would affect the friendship, and I really liked having him as a friend. Then eventually after he unsurprisingly started giving me compliments out of nowhere during a conversation, I decided I'll try telling him. I tried doing it in the best way possible because I really didn't want to ruin the friendship, so I told him not to get me wrong, that he's a great guy and an amazing friend, but his compliments make me uncomfortable. He apologized and I told him there's no need to apologize, he doesn't have any bad intentions.

Aaand then I said I'd just like to keep the friendship without any misunderstandings, to which he replied "there are none, lol". A few minutes later he said he was a bit annoyed for me thinking his intentions were anything more than just friendly, he's a naturally affectionate person with his close friends and if he had wanted anything more, I'd know. Fast forward a few messages later, I apologized for bringing it up and annoying him, he apologized for making me uncomfortable aaand we haven't spoken ever since lol. He told me not to apologise, that there's nothing wrong with speaking my mind. But I do feel like it affected the friendship, which was the last thing I wanted. 

So, AITA for speaking my mind?
