Just Friends


Question Posted Thursday February 2 2006, 12:37 pm

Ok.
So I have a best guy friend.
And we have always liked each other on and off, but lately we have been hanging out much more than usual. I think he is starting to like me again, I dont' want him to because things are going so well as best friends, and I like this other guy who likes me too. I don't know what to do. I am going over to his house tonight to watch a movie and I wish we could just be friends. I still want to hang out with him, and I don't really want to stop just because he likes me more than a friend. What should I do?

Well honestly, things are never gonna change unless you two actually talk about. But then again, you don't want to cut him off or make him upset because he's your friend and also becuase you might like him again. What I would do it just try to keep everything with the friendship very casual. Don't send mixed messages. Like if you are a really touchy person, don't like hold his hand during the scary parts of the movie or anything like that. He may think you want him the way he wants you.

Just make it clear to him that you are not interested in him like that. You don't have to do it verbally. A lot of communication can be done non-verbally. For instance, if he has been flirting with you, perhaps agreeing to a night movie with just the two of you is not a good idea... Be your same sweet self but don't flirt (you'll know you are as it may give you a little internal kick to get the attention). Don't want to get into further detail as I don't want you to become awkward, but if the non-verbal chit chat has some misunderstandings, TALK to him. I'm sure he'd appreciate you not leading him on.

i think you should tell him straight out that you like another guy and you just want to be friends right now. That you could really use a good friend but you dont want him getting mad at you if you end up having a relationship with this other guy..

I know this doesnt seem like the easiest thing or right thing to do.. But it really is the best way to make sure he understands and be able to save your friendship with him..


I hope I helped<3

Love maddddie

I know what that is like. The best thing to do is to talk to him about it. Maybe say we are friends so we can talk anything right? Then tell about the guy you like. Or just ask we will always be friend right. If you don't say anything then the problem will still be there and nothing would have been solved. The best thing is to talk to him. If he is truly your friend he will understand.
