How to tell the truth without being hurtful

Question - (11 March 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 11 March 2009)
A male United Kingdom age 30-35, *arldlewis writes:

I just need some comfimation that the only thing I can do is tell the truth, and whether anyone has any advice on how to give it.

I met this girl about a year ago at a charity event and she was really nice and I found out that she lived along way from me.

We left and said goodbye and I never thought about her again until about 5 days ago when she found me on Facebook. We started chatting and she was very complimentry of me, so I always would return the compliments.

But now she is constantly texting me and is now arrangeing to meet up in the summer. I've kind of gone along with it even though all I want is the occasional chat online; I know I shouldnt of but she is disabled and lacks alot of self confidence.

Please I just need some ideas so I can feel abit better at letting her down.

kaylagal agony auntJust tell her you only like her as a friend and want to make sure she knows it and you don't want to mislead her in any kind of way. Don't use the long distance excuse coz that would be a lie. Tell her she's cool but you don't liker her like that.

If it's any consolation, getting let down by a guy you like is never easy, doesn't matter what the reason or how it's done. You're doing the right thing so don't beat yourself up. It's better now than towing with her feeling any longer.

Good luck, cool guy.

jessica04 agony auntI would continue the friendship, but point out to her that it is really difficult for you to do anything because of the distance.

There is nothing wrong with having and keeping online friends just for online. Just be nice to her about it. If the opportunity arises to meet up and hang out, then do so out of politeness, but let her know you are just a friend.
