So theres this guy whos kinda my friend. He likes me and i dont like him. I'm sorry but i could never like him. Hes just not doing it for me. Hes sweet, but hes not friends with my friends, and hes like my little brother. Hes going to ask me out. What do i do?
Also, my close girlfriend has a boyfriend who told me he loved me the day after he asked my friend out! i said i didnt like him but he said that he wouldnt give up on me. Its so weird because he didnt break up with his gf! i dont know whether to tell my friend or not.
What should i do about both guys??

Jeanne answered Tuesday November 20 2007, 1:45 am: For the first guy: just be honest with him, and do it right away. Don't beat around the bush about it. When he asks you out, just tell him, "I really, really like you as a friend, but I just don't have feelings for you as a boyfriend. But I really want our friendship to continue!" Yeah, he'll be disappointed, but he'll get over it. And guys really do get over these things quicker than you think! The sooner you let him know, the sooner he can move on. It's much better than dragging things out and making him think there's hope when there's not.
For the other guy: I wouldn't tell your friend about it... that will probably only cause trouble with your friendship. But I would say something to her boyfriend. Next time he says something to you about liking you, tell him, "I'm sorry, but I could never go out with a guy who cheats on his girlfriend. And telling your girlfriend's friend that you love her is pretty much the same as cheating. If you're doing this to my friend, you'd probably do it to me, too... and I don't go out with guys like that." [ Jeanne's advice column | Ask Jeanne A Question ]

With your secodn preoblem you shoudln't worry about him but you should tell your riend it wouldn't be right if you didn't tell your friend she woudl probley be even more upet if you didnt tell her. so tell her ok?
Professor_Kaos answered Monday November 19 2007, 4:31 pm: I'm answering these in reverse order. You have to decide if the boyfriend just meant he liked you or wanted to go out with you instead of the friend. If he wanted to go out with her, you should tell her. You can never date him anyhow and remain friends with her. Plus she should know that his mind is wandering.
Be gentle with the that likes you. Then again, maybe it's a good thing he isn't friends with your friends. You would get to have choices and actually get away from your friends once in awhile. Sometimes it is good to go out with someone totally different than what you are used to. In college people end up in totally different circles and it really opens one's eyes. Different isn't bad necessarily. Try to keep an open mind. But it does seem that this guy isn't a looker. There isn't much you can do about that sadly.
