My best guy friend just told me that he liked me on istant messanger. Then i told him i just liked him as a friend because that's all the feelings i have toward him. Then he got offline and i felt really bad. I figured i hurt his feelings and he didn't want to talk to me anymore. What do i do? What should i say next time i talk to him? Or should i say anything? Thanks!
Additional info, added Monday December 22 2008, 11:52 pm: He actually just got back on and said i pissed him off.
Then we talked more and said that he was sad/mad because he thought we could be more than friends. Then i said i was sorry. I only liked him as a friend. Then he was like "I shouldn't have told you.." I feel so BAD! What do i do? PLEASE HELP!. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

If you told the person you were best friends with that you liked them as more than "just friends" and they didn't feel the same, you'd be pretty torn up about it. Just know where he's coming from because he might have some bitterness towards you for a little bit, sometimes guys take rejection hard, it hurts their e-go, yuh know? You should just talk to him and tell him that you don't want this to ruin your friendship and that you know he'll find a great girl and when he finds her that you'll be cheering him on, things like that to let him know you still care :] If he's still pissed, then let him cool off for a little bit and give him some space, I know you feel bad, but it's not your fault, he can't make you feel guilty for your feelings and following your heart. You can't just like someone who you're not intrested in, tell him you were looking out for his feelings because you didn't want to end up hurting him by going into a relationship with him not liking him that way .. yuh know? :] kay, well, good luck, fell free to inbox me and let me know how it goes ! hope i helped ! xxo [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]

You did the right thing by telling him that you don't feel the same way. I made that mistake by not telling someone I only wanted to be friends and I was scared of hurting their feelings, but that only made things worse. He thought that I was leading him on, and now we're not even friends! Just let your friend calm down. Right now, it's normal for him to be upset but he had to know how you really felt. Give him some time and everything will go back to normal. If he really likes you, he'll find a way to keep you in his life. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
