me and my girlfriend are both shy. we have been friends since the beginning of the school year. she is really sensitive. she did this huge confession about how she felt about me and i couldnt tell her that was for nothing. so we started going out and we have been going out for a little over a week. this is both our first bf/gf relationship. i do care about her but not in that way. i dont think it is working out. but whenever she talks to me about how i feel, i tell her that i love her. how do i tell her without breaking her heart and remaining friends?

You'll have to tell her sooner or later. Just say something like "I really like you, and I care about you. I didn't want to hurt your feelings when you told me how you felt about me. I don't think this relationship is going to work out, but I really want to be friends." You'll have to tell her the truth. Good luck!

You can't do it without breaking her heart. She confessed to you but you didn't feel the same way. You shouldn't have let it get as far as it has gotten. You just got to tell the truth. She'll be hurt but hell the truth hurts. If not, it could be a lot worse later on down the line.

Ive been in a situation like this once well personally coming from a girls point of view tell her that shes a great girl and that you cherish your friendship with her. and let her know whats going on with you and how your feeling because if your having doubts she should know because I'm sure you don't want her to be upset more than she has to and explain that you want to be friends and continue your relationship until or if you ever feel close enough and feel that attraction towards her like she has for you. good luck

Talk to your friend in a honest way and tell them you just want to be just friends, and wait until the fall out begins and move on.

Unfortunately you can only remain friends if she wants to. But if she is heartbroken over you, there is nothing else that can be said or done to rectify the situation.

You probably can't break up with her and remain friends..
It seldom works out that way...
