Question

almost two weeks ago my good friend told me he liked me. he said that it was okay if i didnt feel the same way, that we would still be friends. when i told him i didnt like him in that way he seemed fine at first. but right the next day he started getting very defensive and started asking me why i ddnt like him . now its hard for me to even be alone with him or around him. i dont know how to change things back to the way it was. and now he thinks i like someone else! HELP PLZ!!!!

Answer 1

Tell him, a good friend is hard to find, and you do not want to cross the line. he is so special to you. that you hope that he can understand, because you value his friendship more then anything.

Answer 2

Well hon, things arent going to be exactly the same anymore to be blunt about it. I went through this as the person liking the friend who didnt like me. It is very personal and emotional and not only is he hurting right now, he is also very embarrased. Guys have a really hard time when they get their ego bruised. Just give him space and time. He needs a little time to deal with things and to be a little upset. Just let him alone and if he contacts you then let him know that you stilll care about him as a friend and that you would like to still be friends when he is ready. hang in there and good luck

Answer 3

Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do to make things back the way they were. A guy's ego believe it or not is a very sensitive thing. And although you haven't done anything intentionally to bruise his ego, that is what your rejection has done. My advice would be to just leave it alone and not press the issue. THings could go either way then. In a few days the bruise will heal and things could progress from there and if not then he will sulk and be stupid. SOrry but there isn't much you can do.
