Friend wants to become Boyfriend


Question Posted Monday February 2 2004, 6:00 pm

Okay, today at lunch a guy that's friends with my friend "Tim" asked me out for Tim. Nice, huh? Well, problem is, I don't feel the same way about Tim... I don't wanna say no to him, cuz I'd feel soooo horrible, but I don't wanna date someone when I like this other guy A LOT. One of my best friends said that I should date Tim for a week, and dump him if I don't like him. I think that'd be evil! WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

Let me get this straight, you don't like Tim, but Tim likes you, but you like another guy. Correct? I get this all the time. Well, you don't want to "play" Tim, but you don't want to hurt his feelings because he's your friend. Well, you diffently don't want to play him because you wouldn't be a good friend and you wouldn't be true to yourself. But if you say no to him then, if he's really your friend then he might be ok with it. But he probably won't get over it that day that second, it might take a while...it just depends how much he likes you. But if I were you after you tell him "no" I would give him a hug to kinda let him know that you are still his friend instead of just saying "NO" then walk away which might hurt him more and might take longer for him to get over you. I hope that helps!
Sincerely,
MiSSc

Um, I'd send the messenger packing and go with how you feel... which sounds like letting Tim know "thanks, but no thanks".

Getting third parties to negotiate going out is so medieval. Discourage it if you can.

Don't lead the poor guy on. Turn him down, gently but firmly.

Well first if you don't like him its not nice to lead him on, second you have to think could you possibly like this guy after you get to know him better?

Girls should be evil.
Go out with him. You don't know what you may get. The worst case: you don't like it, you dump him polite and nicely.
Simple and plain.

You shouldnt lead him on like your friend says to. Tell him that you think of him more of a friend and just keep your friendly relationship with him the same.
Dont worry, be happy!

It is going to be more horrible if you go out with him and letting him think that you like him too. Whatever happens do not follow your friends advise...that is just wrong. You should tell him right away that you're not interested in going out or a simple "No Thanks" will do. You shouldn't keep him hanging on because if you do, the more you are going to hurt his feelings.
