Pushy Friends


Question Posted Monday January 9 2006, 8:14 pm

My best (girl) friends keep bugging me to ask out this guy who is my friend also. I really like him and all but I don't want to lose my friendship with him...but if I don't ask him my friends said that they would ask him out for me. How am I supposed to tell my friends to back off without seeming harsh?

heyy... You could just say that you dont really fel its the right time for the two of you to be together right now and that you'd apreciate it if they kinda stopped bringing him up. if they get upset about this then you could try saying your sorry and that you didnt mean to hurt their feelings its just you really dont want to go out with him right now but you apreciate their help anyway.

i think that you should tell your friends that your really good friends with this guy and you dont want to ruin things between you guys and if they dont listen to you just go to your guy friend and tell him what they are up too im sure that he'll understand..but if you like him then maybe you should give it a shot,good luck,

the best way to handle this situation is to tell them whats going on in your head. tell them that you will ask him when you are ready and that you like the friendship you already have with him. tell them that you can take care of it and you'll give them all the details when something happens. that way they still feel like they are a part of it.

Just say politely "Guys, I dont want to ruin my friendship with him. So if you do ask him out for me, I'll deny it. That might hurt his feelings, so please just dont mention it.
