l3fty14 answered Sunday August 15 2004, 9:53 pm: the reason your not going out with him isnt because hes dorky is it?? you shouldnt care about looks if you really like him. maybe you do like him but you are trying to convince yourself you dont because you are too embarrassed. but if you REALLY dont like him like that, tell him how you feel. make sure you let him know that you love him (as a friend of course) and that you really have fun hanging out with him. tell him your not ready to be in a relationship and you just want to be friends. hope this helps!
SeXyBLuEyEzGuRL answered Sunday August 15 2004, 12:49 pm: The only thing you can do to not break his heart is to just act like normal friends like you always do. and hay you may actually get feelings for him:-) don't you dare even worry about people making fun of you as a couple!! you know what? if people were to make fun of you as a couple then screw them! what should it matter to you anyways? as long as you would be with someone who really cared about you and you really cared about him then hay you're all set...

Mackenzie answered Sunday August 15 2004, 2:11 am: Well fiRst of all, doRky oR not.. you said you love him, so to hell with what eveRyone else thinks!! Honestly.. fuck them! Who caRes!! And secondly, you shouldn't woRRie too much about bReaking his heaRt as you should being honest to him. Just tell him you appReciate him caRing foR you the way he does, and let him know exactly how much he means to you, it's just you cuRRently don't feel any Romantic feelings towaRds him. He may take it haRd, but since you two aRe such good fRiends.. I'm shoRe he'll undeRstand and Respect youR wishes!! Goodluck!! Hope I helped!! [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
MaNdASzHElP247 answered Sunday August 15 2004, 1:46 am: ok trust me.. DONT CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK! people will NEVER be you so they cant tell you how to choose who to like. If you care for him GO FOR HIM! live life being yourself and with no regrets. trust me if he were to move on and you then liked him..you'd regret the chance you had. Trust me take it while you have it.. cause you never know if you can have it again! gOOd lUCk! -aMaNdA<3*
p.S even if he is dorky its ok because hes sweet and hes your best friend? what girl would pass that up?
However if you dont wanna go with him not because of what people say but because YOU arent ready then tell him.. say something like " im not ready to be YOURS just yet" and tell him you love him hes your best friend and you dont want him to ever change, and that maybe in the near future he stands a chance!

catiemiller answered Sunday August 15 2004, 1:16 am: OK for starters, if he's your best friend you shouldn't care what people think about yall as a couple. but if you really arent ready for a relationship let him know how u feel.. u cant let him standing in the dark.. you wont be breaking his heart, you'll be giving him Your feeling and if he cant accept that then he's not that great of a friend then.. I've been in your place PLeanty of times.. i had a friend named cody, well we decided to become more than friends one day and things were going great till we got in a big argument..and i lost him so not only was i loosing a Boyfriend I was loosing a BEST FRIEND... and we havent talked since...and i regret ever being more than friends w/ him now!!!

TrumpetChyk92 answered Sunday August 15 2004, 1:09 am: Well it sounds like you would do just about anything for your friend. First of all you should be proud of yourself because the two of you are really good friends. I think that you SHOULD give it a try because best friendships could turn into GREAT relationships. Make sure you tell him that this is only to try out and make sure that he understands that if you aren't liking the way things are going that you still want to be really good friends with him. I hope that I helped.

Siren_Cytherea answered Sunday August 15 2004, 1:05 am: Oh, I SO had this problem. If you're worried about people making fun of you as a couple, don't. They're not the ones dating him; you would be. I mean, he might be dorky, but what if he's a good kisser? Lol think about THAT! When dealing with relationships, the only person's opinion that should matter is your own. The guy I'm dating isn't considered "Mr. Popular," but he's absolutely perfect for me.
If you don't develop feelings for him, there's no easy way to let a guy that has a huge crush on you down. One of my best friends is a guy - he had a crush on me for the LONGEST time. We almost ended up dating, but I decided I wasn't good for him. I just kept gently pushing him away, but kept him as my friend.
I hope this helped!

xo_Meg_ox answered Sunday August 15 2004, 1:02 am: hmm..it seems to me that you DO actually like him but you're letting his reputation (or lack of one) get in the way - look at it this way, one of you has to be the "cooler" or "hotter" one in the relationship, so why can't it be u??
