Q: 17/f

Hi- this is kind of the opposite of a normal relationship question. Basically, there's this guy who likes me at school. He gets sort of tongue tied when I'm around and my friends say he likes me, and that he'll try to ask me out soon. The problem is, I'm actually not interested in dating. This guy is great in a lot of ways but I've never been on a date and I'm just not interested atm. how do I say no if he asks me out, without hurting his feelings?
Exactly how you asked this question! That he is a really great guy, but that you're not interested in dating at the moment. Try to elaborate if possible. You can also say things like (if they're true) that you're trying to focus on school/family/work etc. And also say that you don't mind just hanging out as friends if he doesn't mind either. There's no easy way to say no, but I think this is the easiest. It's not like you're completley shutting him out so I think he will take it well. Good luck.

Cool thanks :)
