My best friend is a guy, and we are incredibly close. I love him SOOO much...in a friend way, like a brother. But...he likes me more; like a 'love'. Like a girlfriend. And he WONT STOP TRYING TO GET ME TO GO OUT WITH HIM! He knows i only like him as a friend, but every single day he continues begging me to "give him a chance". I have explained to him MANY times that the only feelings I have for him are FRIEND ones. But he just wont stop, and now I feel bad. I have tried EVERYTHING. What more can i do? I mean, this guy is my bestfriend, he means the world to me, and i love him unconditionally. but like a friend. So what can i do to finally get it through to him that i wont date him cuz i only like him as a friend?

SHE SAYS ANY GUY WOULD BE LUCKY TO HAVE ME THEN SHE GOES OFF AND DATES DOUCHES!? WTF?!!! FRIEND ZONE DAMN YOU!!!" Just give the guy a fucking chance. What is holding you back from dating him? If you guys are really close and you love him so much and he means the world to you, then what is the issue? If he isnt as hot as other guys, then stop being a shallow bitch. It's as simple as that.

So you can try that if you want you just have to be harsh but not rude about it and it may take him a while to get over it but he will! Hope i helped =] [ Sami143's advice column | Ask Sami143 A Question ]
Razhie answered Tuesday February 24 2009, 5:52 pm: Do you still like him a friend?
Or perhaps more to point: How much longer can you keep liking him as a friend if he continues to bully you about dating him?
Don't mince words and don't take it easy on him. Tell him straight up that you can't take it much longer, and that what he is doing is disrespectful and bullying. It will ruin the friendship. It is that bad, and that wrong and unfriendly for him to do.
Stop playing nice with him. He is misinterpreting your gentle 'No...' as 'Maybe's. Clear up his confusion, very firmly and utterly. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
