How do you avoid the dreaded "lets just be friends" line?

The short answer is yes. You are supplicating. A Woman NEEDS a man who leads her into unknown teritories. You must make her want you. Be the prize. Never take a girl out to dinner until after you've slept with her. I will tell you a little secret buddy... No matter what you do.. YOU MEAN NOTHING TO HER UNLESS SHE HAS HAD SEX WITH YOU. And taking a women out to dinner WILL NOT LEAD TO SEX 95% of the time.  Be an aventurer, her mystery, her hero and her juices will flow. If you lead she will follow

"But we can still be friends" is a myth. Just stop all contact; it is kinder that way. if you happen to meet in a hallway, nod but don't smile. It's over. The sooner you both move on the sooner your hearts will heal.

Tell the truth - you want to be her friend, not her boyfriend.\nLay it out plain and simple, once you start talking you'll know exactly what to say.

If you don't want to hurt his feelings .. try to come up with something other then "I like you as a friend, I like you like a brother, I think we should just be friends " line.  \n\nMaybe tell him you're not looking for a relationship at this time & you think your friendship is very important to you and you would never want to ruien what you have now with him .. and he means a lot to you !

With anyone who confesses feelings, be gentle but clear.  There is nothing worse than being that person who admitted an attraction and having those feelings totally ignored.  It's cruel to ignore it.  You have to deal with it, and you say something like "I'm flattered but I'm not interested". You can decide if you think you can still be friends, but deal with that relationship thing first.

You have to definitely draw a line and refuse to cross it.  If you can't do that and just be friends then it is probably best that you avoid each other.  Think of it in terms of if you were married to this guy, would you want some girl crossing that line with him?

aw man try to understand why and talk this over with them, may be you are sending mixed signals, i have done that, but i am just friendly and others take it the wrong way. just tell them your true intentions and be nice, good friends are really hard to come by! friends rule!

That wine thing? I stay away from that. I don't have any problem you having it. If you want to be my friend, you have to keep it away from me.\n\nThis is exactly what happens in real life. For most part we want to be friends of each other. If we want to be real friends, we'll need to compromise.

If you want friends you have to be friendly and be yourself.  Dont try to be someone youre not.  Be sincere.

also, try asking yourself, if you were so shallow as to decide not to be their friend simply because of their sexuality, would they want to be friends with you anyway?

they r ur friendz, u should be comfortable talkin' to them... if U just starting a conversation or wat i mean is ur just startin' to-be friend with u think u can get along with, wat i can suggest is be ur self.. "as in urself".. if they r the real frends that ur lookin' 4, then thats good, coz they like u as U!.. then if not, then better find somebody who can accept the real u.. :)

ok all you half to do is to try to avoid them if u dont want to be friends any more.  or  you could try and fit in with them and try to be like them even if it is not like your self.  but if you dont wannt  to be friends just dont talk to them anymore.

Act like you always do around him.  But if it doesn't turn out good doing that, talk to him and say that you just want to be friends.

To strike off a friendship is quite easy, but you need to go slow and not get excited or you will scare her away, especially if she doesnt have any feelings for you or she may not know you are interested in her.Just a brief 'hello', to begin with is good enough. Slowly, take the courage to exchange a few casual words with her like, 'Hi, how are you today?' If she answers politely and calmly, you can tell if she is responding positively to you or not. Then when you see her again invite her for a drink nearby and so on... Through your constant gesturing, she will also be able to catch the hints that you are wooing her and the rest is up to you...ok? Use your wisdom and dont do anything stupid for the beginning.

Thank you for your maturity on this subject.\nYour wants are describing the "FRIENDS" part of FTF.. There is nothing wrong with actually being friends.\n- a little communication never hurt anyone; be honest and just tell him.\nYou simply want to move from your concept of one night stand to friendship with benefits.. He's probably already in tune with that.\n- good luck

Say 'hello' to atleast 5 new people everyday, if conversation arises.. go with the flow.\n\nDon't be afraid to associate with new people that you aren't familiar or comfortable with, they probably feel the same way.\n\nif we never said hello to anyone new.. or met anyone for ourselves.. all our aquaintences would just be linked through other people.\n\nwhat fun is that?\n\nGo out there and meet somebody!
