I've been single for about a year now. I've given my number out to plenty of guys, but only liked them as friends. So most of my guy friends like me and that's how I met most of them. Well I jus got back with my ex and I don't know how to tell them I have a boyfriend. I don't want to say it out of the BLUE! Like one wants to meet me at Six Flags, but I'm going with my boyfriend that day! Another asked me to go to homecoming as a date with him, but I just want to go as friends! The thing is, they always think I like them, I guess because I'm so "nice." I don't TRY to flirt. Oh gosh I do not. I don't say straight out flirty stuff (I would never!)... but I just need the best way to tell them! Thanks!
If you were flirting and feel somewhat embarrassed letting them know in an awkward way (guess what I now have a boyfriend! Bye!), the best way may be just to casually bring him up in a conversation "haha it was so funny the other day my boyfriend and three friends..." they'll get the picture.
And if it ever gets really awkward with them liking you, like being asked to homecoming, it's always okay to add the "as friends, right?" just to be sure. [ junebug93's advice column | Ask junebug93 A Question ]

All of my best friends are guys but most of them get mad at me when i dont sleep with them. I too just got a boyfriend and luckly my boyfriend is being very good with them. hes actually showing intrest and becoming there friends. If i were you, when one asks you out just simply say, well i have a boyfriend now and im not really sure if that would be the best idea. Guys dont want the fancy lies and bullcrap. they want you to tell them the truth and no mixed messages. And if they are just into chilling your boyy should have no problem with that :]

in my opinion the best way to say it is if they ask you to go somewhere with them just be like sorry i can't because if i have a boyfriend or just say sorry i can't and if they say why then just be like i have a boyfriend if i were you i wouldnt tell them why until they asked why!
