LADIES AND GENTS: Would This Be A Good Way To Let Her Know That I DON'T Like Her That Way?

Question

She's a good friend but I REALLY would ABSOLUTELY never date her. She keeps asking me to chill at her house and I REALLY don't want to.

So if I told her about this girl that I liked (she doesn't know her) would that be a nice gentle way to get the point across? thanks!

Answer 1

Dang, is it that complicated?

Okay, bring the girl up.

You don't have to be a jerk about it. Why does she even like you anyway?

Answer 2

I think so.  But she may still not take the hint and think once you come over to her house and chill awhile you might change your mind.  If she keeps asking you, after you mention another girl, then I'd tell her that you like her very much as a good friend, but it will never be anymore on your part and say it tactfully but firmly so there will no room for her to get any ideas.

Answer 3

Have you ever tried honesty? Maybe she just needs a friend and if you went over there and set her down and just tell her that you want to be on the same page and that you want to be friends but nothing more. Good Luck

Answer 4

Yes, I think that would probably work and it would be gentle.

I know if it were me that I would take the "hint."

Kudos to you for being kind.

Answer 5

i think that would work.  

Answer 6

That's rough, bro.  Chances are high you're going to hurt this girl's feelings.  But if you aren't into her that way it will probably happen at some point anyways.

Answer 7

I don't see a problem with it, as long as you actually do like the other girl.

Answer 8

it doesnt really matter how you say it, its going to hurt her. its really up to you but i would just be honest with her if shes your really good friend. say that you dont want to take the chance of messing your friendship : )  

Answer 9

ABSOLUTELY!!!

ansswer mine please and thank you!!!

Answer 10

be straight up. tell her that you dont like her.  

Answer 11

what about just saying something like "I really like you as a friend and I want our friendship to continue even if I am dating someone else." Then depending on whether she responds positively or not tell her about the girl you like.

That said just make sure that you are treating her as a friend and not a "convenience" or a "friend with benefits" and if you have led her on in any way man up and apologize.

All the best
