Question Posted Thursday December 25 2008, 2:10 pm
I'm a senior (male) in high school, and my friend (female) is a sophomore. We met about 2 or 3 months ago, and we've gotten fairly close. Anyway, a short time ago I learned that she had feelings for me (I'm like 98 percent sure of this).
I don't feel the same way about her. I mean, I wish I did; she's cute, funny, smart, blah blah blah. I just don't, and I've tried. Anyway, if she were to tell me her feelings, what do you think I should respond with? She already knows that I'm not into anyone, but there's the chance she doesn't believe me because no one does, for whatever reason. This would probably be over AIM. I want to remain her friend without awkwardness and such, because I do really like her.

But you have to break it to her gently, if she doesn't believe you that you're not into anyone and she tells you how she feels, then she can't blame you for anything, because you did WARN her. yuh know? Now, I'm a 16/f, and if I told a guy I liked them and they were to tell me they didn't feel the same way, I would want them to say something along the lines of, "Courtney, you know we are really close, and I like you, but just as a friend, I'm sorry if it came off another way, but I don't want this to ruin our friendship or anything to become awkward because I'd miss having you as my friend too much." something to make her feel like she's important, but in a different way, you know? and she will probably be upset for a couple days, but you just need to let her know that you care about her and that you're sorry. and you'll prbably have to be the one to avoid the awkwardness by still talking to her and stuff, because she probably won't for a little.
good luck! hope I helped. and if you have any other questions or anything, inbox me. tell me how it goess :] xxo. [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]
