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.

Wow!  I think there are easier ways to keep girl friends other than changing your sex.  Perhaps the only thing you need to cut off is your current emasculating friends!

It doesn't matter what sex your friends are.  You shouldn't worry about getting guy friends!

Because they aren't interested in you in that way.  If you tell them you like them, "more than friends" it makes them uncomfortable around you because you clearly want more than they do.  Shutting you out at that point, is actually the morally correct thing to do.  Allowing you to still hang out with them, after you tell them your want more, is just wrong, and is leading you on.  So, look at it this way, you pick decent women, its just they aren't interested in you in the same way your are.  Tip: don't ever have female friends, unless you are not attracted to them, or you "know" that is all it will ever be. ...and as a guy, you do know.

As they say ,,,,Men come and go , but a friend is hard to find. I wouldn't risk my Friendship over no man. To many men,,,not enough true friends,,so if you have a true friend,,choose the friend, and in my eye,s if she is a true friend and you told her how you feel about him, and why you wont date him, for fear it may cause friction between you and her, if she is a true friend,,,,,she will stay away from him also, out of respect for you!~

If you mean "friends" instead of a "couple", usually what you do is walk away.  Once someone tries to take a relationship into territory the other isn't interested in -- there's damage done to the relationship at its foundation., and hurt feelings take over.   You can't make a couple if only one half of it wants to take it there.   All you can really do is express your desire to be friends because that means something special to you -- but don't be surprised if he freezes you out after that.  He'll be hurt and angry no matter how gently you do it, unless he's a very "evolved" man and values the friendship enough to stick it out.

It is unfair to call all men pigs. There are men who treat women like royal ladies. It is probably the way you let them treat you. If you are too liberal, chances are men will treat you as if you can take anything and everything and forget about it. Why dont you take a time out and cultivate some friendships and then maintain a respectable distance. Remember, you dignity is your own responsibility. Do not entrust it to men who have pleasant words and soft and tender touches.

Tell him that you only want to be friends. Do it gently, but firmly. It is far kinder to tell him now than wait until he develops more serious feelings and then reject him.

i'm a tom boy and i always seem to get a lot of guys, be a little flirty but subtle and not obvious, be a really nice and respectful person, be their friend and flirt so they know there's room for more than friendship, i love having guy friends so work on that first.  You've got to be confident cause that what attracts them, if you act like all you want is a bf then you're not going to find the right one.

By being straightforward.  Men in general and older men in particular are no nonsense, straightforward people.  If you want him, the way to get him is to look him straight in the eye and tell him in no uncertain terms that you like him as more than a friend, and you intend for your relationship to change to reflect that.

You stay out of it until he is divorced so you don't get caught in the middle of it.  Tell him you will be his friend but until he gets a divorce you can't be anything more.

You can tell him you don't want to hurt your relationship as friends.

yes, it is possible. you've just got to watch out on which signals u might be sending these guys. you also need to make it very clear up front that u only want to be JUST friends and nothing more. hope this helps.

Not half. I hear being away at sea for long periods can do that to a man .\nThink about it .Getting into sticky situations with nothing but your own seamen as company .\n\nA man can become more than a Friend .\n\nNah! It was probably just armless banter

go up to them, anyway. Choose your words carefully,\ntake it slow. If a guy puts his hand on your shoulder with out squeexing hard and with out hostile words, and or even says to take your time, he's the one to become friends with.
