>hours later she explains to me that she isn't ready for a relationship, but really wants to remain friends with me
>she asks me how I feel about the matter, I tell her honestly that I don't want to be friends because I like her in a different way
>she's offended by this and implies that I don't consider her good enough to be a friend and that I only like her for her looks

Who is in the wrong in these situations? I actually kind of understand her disappointment that I wouldn't want to be friends, but I don't want to be surrounded by someone who rejected me and I expect "being friends" would only mean being mutuals on instagram.

She is wrong, but she is really only hurting herself. You were honest about communicating what you wanted and that you didn't want to be just friends, which is perfectly okay. She misread that and now she feels bad. Sucks to be her, but she should be more open to other people feeling different from her

No one. You both want different things; each is a perfectly reasonable thing to want; but the two are not compatible. It's sad, but it happens.

Thanks for your replies. I guess you are right and maybe "wrong" isn't really the word to use here. I was honest about my intentions.

She's wrong for getting offended. Neither of you are wrong for bringing your own expectations and communicating them. You just didn't agree on what the bounds of the relationship should be, which is fine.

One of the many differences between men and women is that women innocently and sincerely believe they can reject you as a lover but still be friends while men think in all-or-nothing terms.

Objectively it is obvious that the female perspective is the healthier, but you can't be called "in the wrong" for thinking like you do.
