I'm a high school senior girl and have a very close guy friend who I spend a lot of time with at school. A lot of teachers and other students think we're dating and no matter how often we tell them we're not, they still keep pestering us about it. It's beginning to get very annoying, and I don't know what to do to stop people from thinking this. Any advice?

If you want to stop the questions, stop feeding the fire. I don't mean stop hanging with your friend, I mean stop reacting to the question. A simple, ' no, we aren't dating' is all you should have to say. If people keep insisting, maybe you could just say,' well, no is all I got, so, sorry if you're disappointed.' Just blow it off. People make a big deal when you do. And I know its annoying, it happened to me when I was in HS too. But it really doesn't matter what people think or say. When you are my age (28) you will wonder why things mattered so much. I think you should just enjoy spending time with your friend. If it develops, great. If it doesn't, great. Its no ones business but yours.

HAHA. There's really no way to stop them, unless one of you starts dating someone else. My best freind is a guy, and my parents are still convinced that some day I'm going to come home and annouce that I want to marry him. Even my brother is really suspisious and a lot of my freinds often think we're dating cause of how often I talk about him.
I usually just tell them no and they understand, but I know highschool can be a bit harder than college. People will usually just think what they want to think and no one can convince them otherwise.

nicely the solid information is that your friends can see which you're chuffed with him and that they choose you to be chuffed. There somewhat isn't something you're able to do approximately them asserting issues like that approximately you 2. i could in basic terms shop pointing out the certainty which you have not any interest in him like that. you ought to not would desire to alter the way you act around one yet another in basic terms because of the fact of what individuals are asserting. in case you persist mutually with your weapons, human beings will start to realize which you do unlike him that way. yet another difficulty you're able to do is start up speaking on the subject of the guy you DO like. Even bypass so a good distance as to communicate approximately him in front of your ultimate pal. while they see that he's not jealous perhaps they are going to get the hint which you at the instant are not attracted to him that way. you additionally can start up calling him brother like "hi what's up brother" or "hi bro". as quickly as human beings start to realize which you notice him as a brother they are going to in all probability end speaking approximately you men relationship. in basic terms some techniques. wish they have been helpful!

Depends, do either of you like each other? I had the same "problem" in high school and over 7 years later we hav never been happier together. We started dating a few months after everyone already thought we were.

I think that people now a days just dont understand that men and woman could be best friends in a sense that doesnt require sex. I cant tell you what to do as to stop people from talking about you and him but what I can tell you is that you need to really think about if you twos relationship is worht everyone hassling you about it and if it is then just stick it out....you are almost out of school. Good luck and God Bless

don't worry about it if they think it and your not then don't worry about it you know the difference and so does he so why should you care..........when you get out of hs you will realize worrying about something like that is truly a hs thing and so are rumors....they are probably saying this because they want you two to be together because they see you as being such a good couple....a ex for u when I was in hs this girl and guy I know were the same way and yrs later they ended up married because they always say to marry your best friend this is how the best relationship go

I think it's great to have a friend that's a boy. Now you know if people think there is something to gossip about they'll do it. You don't waste unnecessary time even thinking or worring about what others a saying, because their going to gossip either way. Ignore people, When they say something, act like your not listening, let them say it again and reply in a way that blows them off. If it's not fun for them to annoy you they'll move on to someone else.

The best advice I could give you about this and any situation you may come across for the rest of your life that involve other people is: Don't worry about what people say or think unless they sign your paycheck.

If neither of you date anyone else and are as close as you say, you may be surprised to find out that everyone is right.

You cant control what people think, so let it go and just enjoy the friendship.
