How do you tell one of your good friends that you just can't like him?

Question

Im not mean, I'm not forward with anything, so keep that in mind

Answer 1

I have the same problem

Answer 2

"I'm sorry but I only want to be friends.  Would you respect that?"

Answer 3

If you mean that you are friends with him but that you don't have romantic feelings for him and that he does have them for you, then the kindest thing to do is to tell him the truth as kindly and gently as you can. If there is no chemistry for you, then there isn't and you cannot do anything about that. Don't be surprised if he isn't happy about what you tell him, no matter how kind you try to be. People don't like to be told that their feelings aren't returned.

Even if it ends the friendship between you, you owe it to both of you to be honest with him. So...go...be a woman and do it!! Good Luck!!

Answer 5

Just tell him! Having been a guy in this situation, I can tell you that is exactly what he wants/needs: a solid answer. He'll get over it. I did.
