Maybe you should try a guy who already has a good relationship(girlfriend or wife).Alot of people mistake friendship for a starting point for something more. Just be clear on your intentions from the start and it should workout.

Platonic relationships rarely stay as just "friends". That's why many people say its a bad idea. But find someone you trust. Someone you've known for a loong time or something. If not that, then begin to observe a few guys that your friends know. See how they are with other people. And if you find somebody you would feel comfortable with, then just say "hey what's up?" like you would start any other friendship. At some point down the road, he's going to HAVE to know that you're not interested in him like that. If he's a jerk, he'll forget about you and move on, but if he's a cool guy, he'll think its cool and you guys can be buddies forever. Don't forget that it IS a risk of it turning into something more later on. So always keep that in mind. Hope you find that Mr. Brightside!

Well every guy is always hoping that something will happen but as long as you make it clear that you don't want to be anything more than friends after a while the guy will think of you as nothing more than a friend.

thats how it is with me too. after being friends for about a week they want to be more. one of my best friends is a guy and hes had a crush on me for the longest time. hes asked me out before but i just keep saying no. we are still best friends and hes who i turn to when im in trouble. even though him liking me makes SOME things uncomfortable i brush it off. some girls have more trouble with that then i do though. it bothers some girls so i dont know. if ur not comfortable with it just dont be their friend. there will be one guy out there one day that wont want to date u. just keep being friends with them unless their feelings for u makes u uncomfortable. God bless.

As somebody who just recently went through the same issue, PLEASE be clear that you want to remain friends. Don't let yourselves get attached. Let him know that you're not leading him on and you just need a guy friend. Good luck in finding somebody like that because, believe me......it'll hurt him like a mother if you lead him on and then end up w/someone else.

you could befriend me :P
kidding
but as teenagers, its hard for a male and female to be friends because with the boy just entering puberty, they think they can have sex with anything that moves, so that makes it hard, but some guys, (like me) just arent interested in a relationship

try to meet new people, including guys. then.. if they want to go out, tell them that you just want to be friends. if the guy refuses, then go for another. there's a lot in this world.

is that a trick question? guys are different than women and think differently as well...when they become close to you it is only natural for them to see you in a way different than you are wanting to be seen simply because they are male and you are female...God just made us that way....Good luck and God bless

Just be yourself and be brave enough to say how you feel all the time. It's in not being honest that people think what they want.

Tell him that you just want to be friends. After all if he was truly your friend he would understand.
