How can I let these boys know I only want them as friends...

Question - (13 February 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 13 February 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, *eo3 writes:

I have just started my first semester in college. I didn't know anyone coming into it, but within the first week i had made a fairly large group of friends. And it's great hanging out with all these new people, the only thing is every single one of them is male. This isn't by my choice they are just the ones that approached me. I mean i like hanging out with guys for a number of reasons, mostly because they are less catty then girls. however after first introductions, more than one of them has tried to take me out or get in my pants. none of them have been rude about it or anything, but i feel bad "rejecting" them, they are cool people and i enjoy hanging out with them, but the pressure of trying to please all of them without actually dating them is kind of hard.

Plus there seems to be some new tensions in our group, like competition. I have tried to make some girl friends to take focus off of me, but none of these girls seem to bite! they are all really nice, but then i never see them again. So i have 2 questions: #1-how can i make more girl friends? and #2-how do i let these guys know that i just want them as friends, not boyfriends right now without bruising their egos so they'll still be my friends?

bharat mehta agony auntYou should follow your 'heart', and not the urges of other people. One cannot please all and everyone around, and it is not duty of anyone to be that much social. All right, you need relationship of friendship, then ask your self how much? then again ask your self about quality, what sort of personality you want, and be selective. If not, then all will make your life quite miserable. You will loss your own 'self' with esteem.
