Here is one of those times it is best to use a diversion tactic.  Since you are close friends with her tell her your interested in another girl.  Hopefully she will realize that telling you she wants to go out with you is a bad idea since your interested in someone else.

You can`t ... If you don`t want to be friends you should be honest. But you will hurt her feelings.. good luck..\nGod bless <><

Do you still want to date her? If so, go for it. Lay every thing out on the table with both of them. Be honest with your friend though- you dont want to break up a friendship because of a stupid girl. She may not even like either one of you- she will make a choice.\n\nHope you don't think this is a stupid answer.

Always a tough call.\n\nYou have to examine your feelings for her and respect that she told you that she cannot see you in that way.\n\nContinue to be pleasant and polite to her and just have her be a good friend.\n\nYou should find another who is willing to reciprocate the love you have to give. She will understand this decision that you have made and you can still be friends.

you can not force some one to like you in that way. What kind of relationship would it be if you had to force her to like you? Be her friend. I know that you want more, but if she just wants to be friends, then i guess that is a start. Maybe in time she will see that you are a good guy, nice, & funny, & want more. Hang in there.

I answered your last question, but now that I know more of how you are with things it helps me to understand it a little more.\n\nI agree that you should pray about it, and give it to God.\n\n  I would talk with her about it and let her know that you have to work on yourself more before you can give yourself to someone else.  Tell her that you do like her, but let her know that right now is not the right time for the two of you to be together and that you would like to stay the amazing friends that you are because she lights up your life when she is in it.\n\nGood luck and God bless.

if she was really your friend she would respect your relationship with your boyfriend and would also understand that though you care for her you are not a lesbian and she can not force you to be one. \nJust explain to her (calmly) that you enjoy her friendship but you dating someone right now and that you arent interested in being with her romantically. If she still tries to push you into something you dont want I would get myself out of that friendship PRONTO!

maybe she likes you as just a friend and don't see you for a boyfriend. then again she may want you to come out and just tell her how you feel. try that!!!

I don't feel as if she is a friend to you.  But "you" know if she is or not because you are around her.  It is very ironic that everyone who you've seemed to have liked she likes to and has been physical with them in some way. I feel as if no "so called" friends should fall out over a guy.  Stick to having a "true friend" someone who doesn't like who you like knowing that you like them.  You aren't losing to your friend sweetheart because as long as you know that she is liking who you like try not to be around her because a true friend wouldn't keep on doing this to you.  This has happened to me but the situation was different.  Eventhough I don't know you I'd like to become your friend or get to know you because we have something in common even if I only give you my opinions or advice.  I wish you the best and if you don't continue to be friends with her don't let it be over the guys let it be because of how she is treating you.

Ask her why she will not go out with you.  Tell her you may be there for only for months but you could still have a relationship and write to eachother or call eachother.  You don't have to do any thing if she does not like you then I feel bad for you.  Just tell her that you really do like her and would like to go on a date with her.  If that does not work then I am sorry.  GOOD LUCK.

Aw you poor thing, i can see where that'd be embarassing:( if you wanna date her, go for it! (i posted a question because i have a crush on my best friend - a guy - so i know how you feel, hehe) but if you dont wanna be anything more than friends (or she doesn't) then maybe try easing off the cuddling a little bit or something...

i have a friend doing the exact same thing. dump her. but only if she's a bit(h. if she's nice, don't. but if you deside to (and you totally can) don't put the blame on anyone. Just say you don't like how the friendship has gone, and your really not comftordable with the situation. so you think it best if you don't hang out anymore. tell her that, and tell her your leaving the friendship with overall good feelings, and that you like her, but that you really just need to end it, and leave it at that. she doesn't need any other reasons, Don't put the blame on her, or you, otherwise she will be mean about it.

well if you keep thinking like that then you'll be single for the rest of your life! Just go for it! its pretty hard to mess stuff up like that unless you treat her like s.h.i.t then you might have a problem. ok, out of all the girls that like you, pick out the one that you want to go out with the most or the one you would feel comfortable dating. Then if you don't like it just tell her that it just wasn't working out and you still want to be friends but not boyfriend/girlfriend. She won't be mad at all.

There's no rule that says you can't go out as friends.  Funny, I was good friends with my husband before I found out he liked me and we started dating.  It was much easier because I could be myself around him, so he knew the "real" me.  But DO NOT plan a "romantic"-type date if you do not feel that way about her.  Don't string her along.  Do something buddies would do.  Who knows?  Maybe after you get to know her as a friend, you might want more.  Good Luck!  ;)

You should probably have a talk with her, your friend.  Tell her that you guys are friends and that she means the world to you.  Be as gentle as you can in telling her that you just don't feel that way towards her right now.  If it's meant to be, then it will.  If you like this girl Summer, then by all means ask her out.  Just don't parade her in front of your friend, that will pour salt on the wound.
