How do I tell these girls that I don't want to date them without hurting them?

Question - (6 August 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 17 August 2011)
A age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I belong to a website for young people to meet other people and date if they want to. I like one particular girl on that website and don't really like any of the others in a dating way. I've been talking to several people including this one girl I like, I haven't been flirting or anything, just chatting, but I think a number of them might like me as more than a friend.

What should I do? I don't want to hurt anyone but I don't want to date any of them other than this one girl.

Is there anything I can do? I mean three have said it directly that they like me while others just flirt. But the ones that told me directly haven't asked me out. I'd be really grateful if anyone could help me. Thank you so much :)

Thank you for your help on this, I have told the girls and they all seem to have taken it well, they're still talking to me and flirting but I have told them all how I feel so that's all I can do for now. Thank you :)

As a girl, I believe its best you just be honest with them and tell them that you're not interested. They would rather you be truthful and let them down nice and easy then say nothing or lead them on and make them believe there is a chance. You can say something like, "you're a really great person to talk to, and I truly am flattered that you say you like me, but I just see you as a great friend." That lets them down gently before they get their hopes too high and have a really long fall when they find out themselves that you don't like them that way. As for the girl you like, GO FOR IT! Tell her you have feelings for her, and who knows, she might feel the same way. What do you have to lose? Good luck!

GoodDog agony auntThe best thing is just to be honest with them but be tactful about it. Say you are flattered and appreciate their interest, but you already have someone special in mind.

If you be nice about it and thank them anyway, they will probably be more understanding and accept your reasons.

Also, when it comes to online dating sites, I think a lot members accept that rejection is part of the norm and will then move on to their next 'potential partner.'

Good luck with this!
