Hey guys =D here's my question.. there's this girl @ my school, we're pretty good friends. A couple of days ago, she told me she liked me in a more then friends type of way. Problem is i'm a girl & i don't swing that way. I want to tell her that i'm not attracted to her in that way, but i don't know how to do that without hurting her feelings... any ideas would be great! thanks!

Just tell her that you still want to be friends but if she's going to go over the limits and try touching or doing stuff with you then I rather stay away.

Karen answered Sunday January 9 2005, 12:41 pm: You just have to tell her straight up that you are straight and that you aren't interested in girls and probably will never be. She should understand, since you two are good friends. What ever you tell her will hurt her feelings but you just need to tell her. Hope I helped :)

felinephoenix answered Sunday January 9 2005, 6:43 am: I've been there! The best thing for you to do is tell her that, no, you don't like other girls that way...but more important, let her know that you still want to be friends! The important thing here is to know that your friend's still the same person as before, you just know something new about her. It'll take a while to get used to, but you'll be surprised how soon it blows over, especially if neither of you freak over it. Good luck!

frenchfries21 answered Saturday January 8 2005, 11:56 pm: well just tell her that your not into girls and you just want to be friends with her. it might be scary being friends with her knowing she like you but shes still your friend no matter if shes straight, bi, or lesbian.
hope i helped!

Hope I helped!

MummuM answered Saturday January 8 2005, 10:50 pm: Just tell her that you rather be friends, because your straight. I'm sure she'll totally understand. Try setting her up with another girl, that's bi or a lesbian then maybe she'll be happy.
