so my bff has liked this guy for ages, but he's just a friend. i'm the only person that knows and she's sworn me to secrecy. but i just found out through another friend that he has a thing for me. now i dont like him like that and even if i did, i wouldn't pursue it out of respect for my bff. but what i want to know is how do i tell her? do i tell her?
i dont want her to hate me cause i usually get the guys not her. help!

If you don't like him and he wants to go farther than its not going to be hard to pretend that your not interested because...you really aren't. Its okay that you get most guys but just pretend that you really had no idea about this guy. the person before me had the same idea and they are right to. If you do tell her it would be hard to explain to her that you don't actually like him since you told her yoursel if you know what i mean.
