gessyka answered Tuesday August 9 2005, 1:20 am: Tell her honestly how you feel. Be sensetive about it, because you're a good person for not wanting to break her heart. Tell her you have a girlfriend, but also get to know her. Dont totally ignore her. I'm not saying flirt but it wouldnt hurt to become friends with her. Even if you both dont hang out together outside of school, talking to her IN school would make her feel a lot better. (even if she knows you dont like her the same way)
If anything it would hurt her more that you didnt take the initiative to try to get to know her.

TheCynic answered Monday August 8 2005, 2:23 pm: I apologize now if you think I'm being harsh:
The best way to go is always with the truth. Even if it makes her cry. She wants to know if you like her? Tell her that you don't. Tell her you already have a girlfriend. That should be answer enough for her.
NiCO0OLE answered Monday August 8 2005, 12:34 pm: of course she will be upset when you tell her you dont like her.. who wouldnt be? but there are ways to make it less hurtfull.. all you really have to tell her is that you have a girlfriend that you care alot about and you think it would be better if the two of you just started out as friends.. if it progresses into more then maybe you could give it a try [ NiCO0OLE's advice column | Ask NiCO0OLE A Question ]
karenR answered Monday August 8 2005, 8:05 am: Just tell her you like her as a friend but don't want to be her boyfriend. There really isn't a way to keep from hurting her feelings about it. All you can hope for is to ease the blow. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
SilentOne answered Monday August 8 2005, 6:20 am: First of all, "the specialist", you're the idiot for posting without an answer, just to criticise a valid question.
Now to the real question;
I think the easiest way out is to have a friend tell the girl who's crushing on you. Don't have your girlfriend do it, as someone said she might start a girl-fight, or even go into relationship sabotage antics. Try to pick someone who will break the news softly, but still make it clear. There's a good chance that she won't believe them, but if that's the case, tell your friend to refer her on to you. Even if she does want to hear it from you, it will probably hurt less, and it will be easier for you.
If you think there could be a chance you'd want to know her, or maybe leave things open for if things turn sour with your girlfriend, you could do two things. You could tell her it wouldn't work out, because you've got a girlfriend at the moment. That would probably leave her hoping. You should make sure that she doesn't go in for the relationship sabotage though, because some girls will. Make sure that if she does, you let her know that she's got ABSOLUTELY no chance if she's the reason you and your current girlfriend break up. Another thing you could do is befriend her. Just because she's crushing on you, it doesn't mean you have to get rid of her. Maybe the next best thing for her would be to become a really good friend. You never know who you'll end up knowing, and maybe when she knows you better, then she won't want to be your girlfriend anymore.

icey0990 answered Monday August 8 2005, 1:30 am: well you have a girlfriend so this makes it easier to break the news it wont work..you dont have to tell her your not attracted to her..just tell her you have a gf and you two are verry happy and nothing is going to come between that [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]
Blair answered Monday August 8 2005, 1:22 am: This is hard because you have to make it clear you don't want tp be more than friends without hurting her or leaving the opportunity open...I think you should spin in a way that says I have a girlfriend I really care about and I don't want to do anything to jeapardize that, let her know she is a great girl and deserves someone who likes her as much as she likes them, she deserves the best...You let her know how you feel and hopefully won't crush her. Good luck! [ Blair's advice column | Ask Blair A Question ]
ViTaChaN answered Monday August 8 2005, 1:18 am: The most polite way to tell her that..is to ask her if she wants to be your friends..I meant your best friend..Than if she wants to be your best friend, tell her that you already have a girlfriend..Hope I helped!
