Question Posted Thursday April 21 2005, 10:11 pm

Ok, problem here dudes.

At my school, Im a freshie, 14/m. I have good looks, but I never thought I was something to die over. Every day I have these indirect confessions from people I do or do not know that they like me, but I can't say the feeling is mutual. I'd like to know how to break this to them in a nice way, because some of them are a little over the edge if you know what I mean....

You've just gotta break it to them gently.
Tell them they're not your type or let them know that you've got your eye on someone else (even if you haven't) and say ''I'm sorry but...'' then give your explanation =P
Good luck, lmao.

Just tell them that you'Re flatteRed, but at this time you unfoRtunatgely can not say you feel the same. And if this is someone you think you'd likje to get to know, tell them so, and exchange numbeRs and see wheRe it goes, my fRiend. I wish you the best of luck. Hope I helped.

I noticed that someone gave advice that you should flirt with a guy that you do like. You said you are a 14/m and you had "Girl Trouble". I think someone should read your post more carefully next time. Sorry… Anyways! I don't think ignoring them or trying to flirt with someone else is a good idea at all. It’s mean and usually comes out badly. The best thing to do would be to be direct but kind. You could tell them something like this: (you don't need to use this, its just an generic answer).

"Oh... Well I always saw us as good friends. I don't want to mess our friendship up by complicating things."

It’s direct, but its still being kind. Letting someone down is never easy and its never "not painful" for them. Best thing to do is to be direct, but kind and won't hurt them as much.

If it's through an indirect way, there's not much you can do because you can never be 100% sure they have the hots for you, so you wouldn't be able to sit them down and tell them you aren't attracted to them.

Maybe you're just over-reacting about the "confessions". Maybe they're just trying to flirt with someone and you're the perfect candidate. Just gently turn them down by ignoring them or pretend in an exaggerated way that their flirting isn't working so that they'd get the picture and stop trying to go after you. You could also try to show them you aren't interested by flirting with a guy you DO like and ignoring them. They'll get the picture and you won't have to tell them anything.

If it goes too far, the only thing you can do is tell them directly that you do not appreciate what they are doing. Tell them to simply stop. If that doesn't work, it's time to contact an adult.

Good luck.
