In life, I like to be polite to everyone. This has become a problem because whenever I hang out with my guy friends. At least one of them starts to like me and think that I like them back. I really try not to act flirty but its getting to the point where I'm losing my guy friends after having to turn them down. Its really bothering me, I miss just being friends with them. What do I do?

It's obvious to me that you obviously don't have any interests in them, even though that you want to. That's fine. But you've got to say "No" before you're forced to turn them down. This is fine as well because you're saving yourself from the agony of breakup later.

That way, they would know if they're flirting, and you're being nice, that's just your personality.
