ok... well i like one of my best friends. his name is jason. and well... we have been in an "on-and-off-relationship" for about two years now. (he normally leaves me for my best friend. and i keep taking him back cuz i am really in love with him.) and well we always get into little fight and he can never make up his mind who he likes more. me or my friend (he does this alot.). so i got really mad at him cuz i didnt want to go through this again. so i went, and hooked up with this guy jake at the movies. well i thought i liked him(but i really dont) the whole reason i hooked up with him was so i could try and get over jason. (well that didnt work.) jason called me that nigh and told me he was sorry and he told my friend that he truely loved me and he didnt like her anymore.
well now this guy jake thinks i like him, and his friends want us to go out. and i really dont want to go out with him. all his friends are asking me why i dont go out with him, and they tell me how much he likes me and that i better not hurt him.
and im scared to tell them that i dont like him, that i think me and jake should just be friends. but i dont want his friends (wich are also my firends) to hate me.
what should i do?!?!

The first thing you have to do, is get Jake off your back.
You have to tell him you only like him as a friend becuase think about it, if he found out you didnt like him and you pretended to , thaT would hurt him so much more than if you just tell him you dont like him and things would be better as friends.As for Jason, if you wanna stop giving him chances , thats hard to do all at once.
So what you should do, is commit to him less.
For example,if he talks to you , dont completely ignore him but dont act completely intrested.
Basically what im saying is build on saying no.
Dont say it all at once, do a little at a time.
I promise that will help.
And all guys are jerks like that at some time in their life.
But sometimes if you feel you truly like him, then stick around but dont give in too much.
Hope I helped
