what would u do if ur "friend" asked u out and u were not interested in them that way?

Question

my guy friend asked me out and i didnt want to just say NO flat out but i dont want to make him think that i LIKE HIM LIKE HIM ? i told him i would think about it but bcause he asked me out i dont think the guy i like who happens to be the guy who asked me outs friend will try to go out with me! what should i do?

Answer 1

try talking to him and be honest. If it ends the friendship, then he was obviously just playing at being a friend while his mind was working in a different direction.

Answer 2

If this guy is really your friend you should be open and honest with him. Let him know that you dont think of him that way. The best way to keep him as your friend is to let him know. Telling him you will think about it will only lead him on. You may give him the idea that there is a chance with you. It is not fair to him to keep him waiting for you. This could also cause problems with the guy you do like. Since they are friends they are bound to talk to each other. I think the ship has sailed on the other guy though because a lot of times guys will not go for a girl their buddy likes first. Good luck I hope this helps.

Answer 3

If your a real friend you should tell him the truth don't say it all flat.Start smoothly by syaing you only like him as a friend and then you can say you don't want to go out with him.

Answer 4

You can't lie! Then he'll think you like him and you'll be in a worse predicament then you are now. Tell him the truth. If he's hurt, it won't last long.

Answer 5

Be honest to yourself and honest to him. Tell him that u dont want to ruin a good friendship.

Answer 6

You have to tell him that you're not interested, but let him down easy.
