Ok, so my friends are telling me this guy likes me, but it's not the guy I like. They said he might ask me out, but I don't have feelings for him. How can I say I don't want to go out w/ him without sounding mean?
Ashley1 answered Wednesday April 27 2005, 10:43 am: If he asks you out just tell him you would rather be friends. Another way to let a guy down easy is to tell him you don't feel ready to date. [ Ashley1's advice column | Ask Ashley1 A Question ]

-I already have a boyfriend.
-I don't want a boyfriend right now.
-My parents won't let me date.

You can also add, "Besides that, I'm a lesbian."
You can skip that one, though, if you're uncomfortable with that.
CameronASTB answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 9:49 pm: well, the only thing you can do is tell him the truth, I mean, if he really likes you, then he'd understand & want it that way, he'd want you to be happy,, but who knows, your friends might be wrong, or if there not, he just might not even ask you out, who knows, just tell him the truth & be sweet about it
x3_advice_x3 answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 9:32 pm: alright i think you should just say that you think that you two are better as friends and your not interested in him like that.. dont worry itll turn out fine [ x3_advice_x3's advice column | Ask x3_advice_x3 A Question ]
hrdcoreX34Dustin09 answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 9:28 pm: well i mean all you can do is tell him the truth tell him your not interested in him and your soo not trying to be mean you would feel worse if you lead him on to think you do like him if you didn't tell him the truth on how you really feel.. and maybe if he's someone you could be friedns wiht if your not already then maybe you should try being JUST FRIENDS with hima nd if you do that make sure he understand its JUST friends nothing else... I hope i helped!
Micah answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 9:13 pm: everyone goes through this, you dont want to be mean to him, but you really dont like him as more than a friend. just tell him that you just want to be friends, that if you go out with him it might make a hole in the friendship when you break up.. just be honest.

piinkdiiamondsz_17 answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 9:00 pm: say something like, "i'm really sorry, but i just like you as a friend." be nice about it. he should understand that you do care about him, but not that way
Foxsea17 answered Tuesday April 26 2005, 8:56 pm: Well, if this guy that likes you is a friend of yours or at least talks to you on a daily basis, just tell him that you enjoy being friends with him and you think that dating him would ruin that. Also, try not to give any signals that you like him as more than a friend! You don't want him to get the wrong idea. If he's not your friend and you don't really know him, on the other hand, you can tell him either that he's not your type or you'd like to be friends, but you don't think a relationship would work out between the two of you. Another option, although this may be a little forward, is to tell him that you're interested in someone else and you're very sorry. I hope I could help with your problem!!
