A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

There is this guy that I am almost sure likes me, I have no interest in him besides friendship. Right now I'm sensing that he will tell me that he likes me or to be his girlfriend, I don't know how to tell someone you still wanna be friends and nothing more without hurting his feelings and ruining the friendship?

kaylagal agony auntIf a guy wants more and you just want to be friends you have to be brutally honest. If you try to be nice, he'll stick around with false hope and that always end up horrible. Just be straight up and tell him you like him just as a friend, nothing else.

I used to use the I'm not ready right now, and that blew up a couple of times. Now, I tell a guy straight up, "like you just as a friend, nothing more" and sometimes I even tell a guy I'm not attracted to you, that does it.

PrincessSmithee agony auntits not good to lead people on, ive had it done to be the..

i just see you as a friend at the moment

maybe something could happen one day but im not looking for a reltionship right now.

no no no

scrap that.

You have to be straight.

say

aww i dont really see you like that hunnie :(

or i only like you as a friend :( i really dont wanna hurt you though

i think it would be weird being more than friends, so i dont really wanna go past friendship.

see my point, you have to make yourself look sweet.

Its not your fault remember that if you dont have eelings for some , you dont have them, thats that

if hes a friend, he will remain friends with you.

and if he finds it too hard, he will have to have some space and be friends after when hes over you.

and if hes like 'oh ok' then just carry on like you normally speak to him.

if he gets angry, just leave it for a while if hes a friend he will appect it sooner or later.

and if hes sad, just tell him 'i didnt want to upset you :( your lovley and stuff i just dont really see you more than a friend, i hope we can still be friends :( '

will you answer my question please, im in a pickle :(
