How to tell a guy you just want to be friends?


Question Posted Tuesday October 26 2010, 8:26 pm

Okay so I kind of got myself in a bad situation with 2 guys that really like me. I guess I've been leading them on but I don't like either of them. I just got a boyfriend that they don't know about yet and I really don't know how to tell them without them getting mad and not wanting to be friends. I'm the kind of person that can not hurt peoples feelings and I can't tell them straight up. When I tried talking to one guy he said he'd drive himself in the ground if he saw me with another guy. Help me please I really like my boyfriend and I don't want to him to get mad if I can't get rid of these other guys but I'm just too nice:( oh and I'm a 16 year old girl. Haah

You are not the first person to do such mistake and lead somebody on.

But I hate to break it for you, and tell you there is no other choice in this.

If you are as nice as you are refereing then you should tell them right away so they don't get hurt more and have more hope and then later when they find out, they would be crashed.

Plus it's way better if you tell them nicely than them finding out.

Good Luck =]

Don't beat around the bush.
Tell this guy you only want to be friends with him, plain and simple.
Too-nice guys like that tend to misread situations where girls are nice to them. You need to be firm.
Otherwise, you're lying to them.
That's worse than hurting their feelings by being honest.

The way to do it is to bring it up in a very casual way, without it seeming intentional.

For example, if you're talking about what you did over the weekend, you'd say "My boyfriend and I..."
Just find a way to mention him.

For the one who said he'd drive himself in the ground and whatever...well, I'm sure you know you should have just told him then. But either have a conversation, text, whatever, and let him know that you're really sorry, he's an awesome guy, but you have a boyfriend, and you're sorry for not being honest about it from the beginning and hope you can still be friends.
