What to do when someone likes you and u dont like them back
 
What is a person to do when someone likes you but you dont like them back?

I have been told by a friend that another longtime friend likes me. But problem is I dont like her back. She doesnt know that I kno that she likes me. If she approaches me, how am I to tell her that I dont like her back?

If she asks you out, just tell her you'd like to stay friends because you are different types or you dont really think it would work out, you dont really have to tell her directly you dont like her.

And if she keeps approaching you, hell, why not give it a try? you might change your mind later and it might work out.

A.) Say you have a girlfriend, if she asks who, make up a name, and say shes from another school (say a local schools name), if any she follows up with more questions, just BS.

B.) Say you are not looking for a relationship, you're still getting over your last one, or you just want to have some fun while being single. (this has worked several times for me, they always seem to understand.)

Pretty much tell them you just want to be single, and that its not just because of them, maybe say that you dont want to go out with ANYONE at the moment. You can even bs and say that you think they are cute or something. (But if then the next day some really hot chick asks you out... your fucked.)

C.) Tell them you dont like them directly. (depends on the situation, but usually this doesnt work too well, makes you look like an asshole, and then both of you feel bad.)

Problem is that she is one of my best friends. And she is doing very poorly in school...shes planning to drop out after this year and get her G.E.D instead

So i'm guessing you dont like her physically? Because of her looks? Since you said shes one of your best friends i'm assuming you like her personality etc.

Or why?

GOD! Don't be a wussy about it!

If she asks you out on a date, just tell her flat out that you don't want to. If she has a problem with that, then she's obviously only your friend because she wants to date you.

That, or you can screw her and dump her, like everyone else.


In all seriousness, don't pussy foot around it, just tell her flat out, and don't make her feel uncomfortable about it. Just give the simple answer of, "no." If she wants you to explain why, so be it... but if she doesn't want you to, don't bother. Keep it short and sweet and then things can go back to normal.

Yes, it's only going to hurt her worse to encourage. A clean cut is often best.

Seriously, listen to what Lust and Ghost have said. Just say no and get it over with quickly. The faster you do it, the less anxiety you will have about it later and it won't be as big of a deal. :)

tell her that you're flattered and glad that she likes you but that you're not interested in a different relationship than friendship.

:agreed

Blunt honesty is the way to go. Make it clear to her that there is, and never will be, anything of that nature between you, and then leave it at that. You have nothing to gain, and plenty to lose, from stringing her along.

In fact if I were you, I wouldn't wait until she approaches you, and ultimately humiliates herself, with an idea of that nature. Take her aside and explain it to her before she makes a fool of herself. Just make sure you're sure she's thinking those things before you do.

Do what lust said. But make sure you tell her kindly, and make sure she knows you still want her as a friend. :nodding:

Stryker, if it so happens that she does come up to you with the intention of divuldging her feelings to you, you should politely tell her that you know, you think that is nice of her and that you are very happy to be friends with her. However, if she goes so far as to as you out, politely but frankly tell her that you are not interested because you just do not feel the same way about her, but that you are still willing to stay friends with her.

Re: What to do when someone likes you and u dont like them back
 
I know what I should do, and normally I have no problem destroying someone emotionally, infact I frequently do it to unsuspecting loosers who I dont care for. But I havent been in this situation before.

Right now I have to wait until she comes to me because my friend catherine and I been friends for like 5 years, and if I tell the girl who likes me that I kno, she will kno that catherine told me, so im trying to protect their friendship and mine.

Its not that I dont find her unattractive really, I just couldnt ever see myself interested in dating her, (1) Because we been friends a few years, (2) Shes dropping out of school and she doesnt have much persistance in anything...
