yesterday, i found out from my best friend that this guy that i've known for a little over 4 years liked me. he's a good friend, but i don't look at him like THAT. i don't really find myself attracted to him physically and emotionally. he's a cool guy and everything but i'm not ready for a relationship yet. i'm too busy with my school...and not to mention he confessed to me the day i'm still mourning for jay...(offtopic)

i'm an introverted person and it's the first time someone actually confessed to me. thus, i can't really explain myself really well. so i asked him over the text and he said yes, it was true he liked me.

so this was my reply:
uhm...how should i put this.
i think we're better off as friends.
sorry but i don't feel the same :/
and i'm sorry i'm doing it over the phone.
i can't seem to face it yet...
sorry...

he replied:
it's ok

i think im pretty heartless that i did it over the phone. BUT it's gonna be harder for me if i keep on avoiding him and continue giving him the wrong signals :/ we're not close but i've known him for a while. i have my reasons why i did this and i hope he doesn't take it the wrong way.

the problem is now...i don't know how to face him tomorrow.
the day after i rejected him...which happened to be the first day of school ><;

That sucks. But hey. Act natural, be as friendly as you were from before.
Don't make it awkward, or it will BE awkward.

wow, this same sort of situation happened to me last summer O_O;;; (like you, i'm introverted and it's the first time i've been asked out). we've been friends since high school, and i knew he liked me, but like you i had my reasons for not liking him back that way. He even confessed to me in one of the most romantic ways ever too....

at first, after rejecting him, things felt extremely awkward between us. but over time, we became friends again. if you guys are good friends, i suggest not avoiding him. you shouldn't let something like that come in between friendship =)

I think it's best to be honest with him. Try not to be creative with excuses however, they are confusing.

[brownman90561495]

you've been friends for so long, and he has to accept the fact that you two can't go on the next plateau.

try to be the same girl to him - his bestfriend.

I think it's a blatant lie when a girl uses the focus on school excuse! If it was a guy you were interested in? You would make time, and go for it. You're his friend, but you tell him through a text. Some friend you are.
I feel bad for this guy. I hope he moves on immediately. I hope when karma pays you back that you remember what you did to this guy!

[bonjour tristesse.]

Be sure to act natural as if nothing happened between you and him then. This could really hurt the friendship if you guys drift away.

What the typical girl would say, I've heard and seen this before! :S

he replied:
it's ok

I've seen this too, this is what I say and let me tell you...
that is the FAKE -EST smile ever.. ):

thanks for your honest opinion.
and yes, karma already hit me.
way to put a grain of salt into my guilty heart.
thanks

& i think focusing on my education more is a legit reason. boys can wait.
and if you read my explanation clearly, i have no interest in this guy.

i'm a bad friend yes. but i think i can rebuild that sooner or later.

thanks for everyone's opinion. really appreciate it
