Does he like me and how do I tell him I'm not interested w/out being rude?
I have been texting this guy since homecoming. He's nice and kind of funny but I'm definitely not interested. The other day he asked me who I want to go out with. I said I didn't know and I wasn't really into dating as of right now but if someone did ask me out i wouldn't mind. He said he was going on a date w/ this girl I knew. Then he invited me to go paintballing (which I've never done) with him and all his friends. He then gave my number to three guys who were going. I told him I couldn't go because (a: I didn't want to in the 1st place and b: I actually couldn't and didnt want to lead him on.) He then acted really sad about it. I havent texted him because I don't want to lead him on or make him mad. I'm really confused. Help?

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
Well, whatever you plan to do, just remember to break it to him gently. Just tell him that you're not looking for a relationship right now, but you really appreciate the attention he's giving to you and that you value him a lot, as a FRIEND. Normally, he'd be upset, but that's just the initial reaction of someone who's rejected. But tell him that by telling him you're not interested, that means that you care for him enough that you don't want him to get the wrong idea. You want the friendship to stay, but nothing more.
Hope that helped. :)

well you pretty much answered your question already. :-) i'd just nicely tell him you aren't looking into dating/a relationship at the moment, like you said, and i'm sure he will understand. the key is to offer to be friends still, though, so be sure to!
