I hestitated to tell him that "I just wanted to be friends" because I am afriad he will say "oh... I am sorry if I made you uncomfortbale casue I didn't mean it that way".  Then I would sound over reacting and stupid.   But, if I continue to accept his friendliness, I am afraid I will mislead him and lead everything to something worse.  Everything he did recently made me feel like he wanted to be more than just friends.  He is a nice guy, but I am not physically attracted to him.  What do I do?

There is a round about method to get out of this.  Treat him like a friend and confide to him that you like someone else.  He will realize your interested in someone and not him and yet you won't have brought his feelings for you into the open and will have given him a way out.

He may in fact find you attractive even though he may not consider you in a romantic way either.  I am friends with women to whom I am attracted but wouldn't act on it because of the friendship.  For you to try to nip this in the bud before he does or says anything would be premature.  And wouldn't it be embarrassing for you if you were wrong and assumed something was there that wasn't?

Be honest with him if he gets mad at least at the end he can respect the fact that you were upfront and honest. Just explain to him how you feel and tell him that you don't really want a relationship right now but you still want to be friends with him.

ok. ummm... maybe he just wants to be friends with you cuz hes not ready for a relationship or it could be that he thinks you guys would be better of as friends.

I think all good relationships are first built on friendship! But if he doesn't feel the same way you do still be his friend but let him know that you can only be just that....FRIENDS!

probably not your best bet. if you do that, he'll think you are manipulative, and conniving, and you probably aren't you just want him! totally understanding. you should just tell him how you feel ok! =)

The next step is up to him - congratulations on your courage to tell him how you feel - I know it wasn't easy.\n\nSee how he responds to you from now on.  Is he still friendly or is he aloof now because he, too, feels embarrassed by what you told him?\n\nIf he seems aloof to you, then he doesn't share the same feelings as you - ok - you tried - now go find someone who does share those feelings with you.\n\nGood Luck!

His true intentions have been revealed.  Why do you want to be friends with such an immature person?  \n\nCut contact with him.

what you say is that you dont feel for him the way he feels for you and that you think it would be better if you remained friends and nothing more as your not ready for anything serious right now. he will probably be upset but its best to tell him now then later on when he can be hurt more. good luck.

he's being straightforward to you and has been respectful to you. I think you should do the same, if he just wanted to be your friend, you should let it be.

U hav to be honest, that's the key. First of all, be like can i talk to u alone? then when ur alone, u say im rlly glad that i had this experience, and i liked u a lot at the beginning but now the connection is jst going away, and i feel we'd b better off as friends. Im rlly sorry if i'm hurting u but I cannot lie to u. Friends?\nthen after ur lil speech w8 for his reaction and thts where u hav to go from.

don't be rude, but try not to be overly friendly with him.. if he keeps insisiting on doing "friend things" then tell him how you really feel, because you don't want him to lead him on, or have him get the impression that you want to be friends with him..

Perhaps he was taking u seriously from the beginning and u were not.  tell him that u were not serious and considered him just a friend...and never indended to convey the signals as he received or perceived.......i think he might understand

take his feeling in to consideration. if you have no interest in men then just tell him you are my friend and i am not interested in men. we can continue being friends as long as you want. but there will not be any relationship besides friendship.\nBut if u are curious then just tell him that u are curious and not sure what u want at this time and you can try a relationship with him but remember he might not be ur best friend if things go wrong between you two.\nIf you are feeling frisky tell him that u are curious and want to see what it is like and do the deed but tell him that u don't know what u want yet and do not get attached. that might even screw up ur friendship.. well how about go do it with another man and don't let him know and if u like it then go for ur friend..

tell him you are flattered but you dont feel the same way, as you barely know anything about him, but you would like to remain friends.\n\nBe nice but firm.

You might feel like you're on a date, but that's just because you're straight.  He doesn't feel that way at all.  I had this one friend and I didn't think that I was leading her on or whatever and she KNEW I was gay, but she said that it was unfair of me to play with her like that and act like I was into her.  I wasn't GIVING her signals or anything though.  If he really wants you, let him come to you, you don't wanna lose a friendship just because you think you could convert him.  Things would just be WEIRD between the two of you.

Chances are he's felt the same way at one time or another.\nYour timing's off.  You can still be friends, but you need to try to keep your feelings in check, because you could lose him as a friend.  If its meant to be it will happen \nyou cant rush it, and you may change your mind. Just support him like a friend should it will all turn out the way it should.
