So one of my best friend's guy friend likes me.
And I don't feel the same way. But I don't want to flat out tell either one of them.
Hello awkward silence.
And one of his friends is constantly trying to get us to "conviniently" be next to each other and together. It's SO annoying.
Gahh, I'm avoiding hanging out with all of them together. It sucks. Now normally I'd straight out tell them how I felt, but I can't this time, because I know for a fact that it'll make things awkward.
So... any way around the weirdness of it all?
Probably not.. but um, any tips on how to get my point across without being blunt about it, or just to let him know I'd want to be friends & nothing more... even though we're really not friends.
I really don't know how to deal with the situation.
I mean it's really not a HUGE deal but yeah, I just wanted tips.

i agree dont be blunt about it...
us men only want things in life that we cant have.
just let him know that you have no time for a relationship
right now.and metion it to your best friend he/she doesn't want to be left out(would you?) . besides if your best friend is really a friend,he/she will help you out with the metioned above.

Its a huge deal if your feeling awkward around your friend. Its uncomfortable to live that way, I mean when he asks you something about what do you like in a guy or some question to dig for information so that he would act more like what you like, um,just tell him I am not intersted in guys right now, that you have heard all kinds of damage guys cause to girls, and then you would come off as bitter but should make him back off.
I know its beating around the bush and all, but you didnt want to come right out and tell him. although that would be best. be honest. I had a similar situation and I would tell my guy friend how much I liked this guy and he eventually started getting jealous and tlaking crap about how much better I can do and well he eventually went his own way.
Its going either keep faking that you dont notice and feeling uncomfortable, or lose his acquaintance.

I'm in the same boat as you...but without the middle friend. All I can tell you is to tell this mutual friend that you really don't want him to set you up with this guy. If your mutual friend backs off, then maybe the other guy will get a hint. Good luck!

Get a good friend (you can trust) to pretend that he's your boyfriend. If you don't have friend who could do that convincingly for you, then just start talking about your "boyfriend, who used to live in the next county over, but his family moved away and now he lives in XXX (pick a state). "
Good luck....

tell him that u r crazy about some other guy and that u want his opinion on it because u R SUCH COOL FRIENDS and that u VALUE HIS OPINION, and just be cool about it dont fully hurt his feelings, cuz in the long run he will be the 1 to understand u the most.

one thing i did in this situation- we went out to one of our usual hangout places and i made the comment of how i liked having a friend that i can spend time with doing something we both enjoy, and that i dont want things to change that or our friendship.

some times the best way for them to get the hint that you just want to be friends is to just flat out tell them that you don't like them like that and you just want to be friends.
