Yesterday a my best friend purposed me saying I LOVE YOU in front of my other friends when i was enjoying a party...I just was shocked when i heard from her as i never lookked at her in that sense..She was my best friend...I told her everything in my life...My happiness my sorrows... There i asked her for some time and she aggreed..I didnt sleep well that night...I also posted a topic in mylot about that incident and some friends tried to help me.. After thinking a lot today i told her NO coz i felt that it would not be fair..I couldnt think about her as my girlfriend..As i said so she ran away without saying a word i think she was sure that i'd say yes...but.. Now i am surrounded with many qustions why i said her no??,what would she be feeling like??Will my friendship with her is gonna break forever? Guys i did right or wrong?and now what do you think i should do??

There's no right or wrong in love,i was also under your situation last year,but the difference is,i said YES,due to the fact that she's my bestfriend,so she should knows me better..unfortunately,we lasted for 7 months only,but then we are still best of friends..so i just think that how open minded certain individual is to accept any give situation.

I'm going to say, just be yourself. Don't push yourself too hard about it. Girl is so complex sometimes. But there is one thing that i learn for this kind of relation. Love is sometimes came in this order : Get know each other - become a friend - become a best friend - become a couple that is what i learn ( and of course that work for a men and a girl ) sometimes it came like that. And your friendship is going to be fine, but its depend on you, whether how you talk to her nicely, and explain everything and what you want with the relation between you and her. well good luck then

I know you feel horrible about hurting her feelings but I truly felt like you did the right thing. If you don't love her you would wind up hurting her even more by pretending that you do. It is better to get all this out in the open now. I hope that your friend will eventually understand because I can tell that you really care about her. Good luck my friend.

There are certain things that needed to be thought about over and over, and well my friend, you have just met one of them. I think your reaction would be one of the most typical response of an individual given that situation same as yours. Anyway, just a friendly advice, I'd like you to search deeper of your emotions so that you will know what you really feel for her without having regrets or anything. Try to open up about it so that she could understand. After all, she's your best friend, right?

Oh my you are in a situation but I think you did the right thing. She was like your best friend and it is normal to want more then friendship after time but she needs to realize that usually nothing good comes from advancing from a friend to a lover. Now this is my belief only I know others will not agree with me at all, but friends should remain friends because if you turn friendship into something more chances are if it doesn't work out not only will you lose your love but you eill usually lose a good friend too. I'm sure in time she will realize this and get over it and go back to being a good friend.

it was you choice dear, you had to choose because its your life. iT not necesaary that if she is your best friend you can love her as your girl friend as well. Everyone dream of having a girlfriend in his own way. I think you should talk to her and try to make her understand. I understand you must be feeling bad as she is a good friend of yours and you must be feeling hurt for her also. But you should think once again and atke a good decision as the life is yours and the choice also is yours. Its not that only to make her happy you accept her and later you cant give her the happiness that she wants from you as you are not satisfied with her. as it is not bnecessary that when we love someone the person also loves us.

well, you just have to be honest with your feelings... if you don't love her and you just want to be best friend with her, then she can't force you... relationships have to be mutual feelings and can't be one-sided... it is good that you are honest with her from the beginning rather than to tell her later... she will be hurt more by then... reality is not always sweet and she just have to accept it... take care and have a nice day...

Hello there, she is one of your best friends, but it doesn’t mean she will be your girlfriend. Since we don’t know her, you are the one knows her well, which means you should know what to do when she said I LOVE YOU. It sounds she fancies you, but you don’t unfortunately. It takes two to tangle. However, if I was in your situation, I would not say YES or NO straight away, I would say THAT IS A SURPRISE! BUT I AM NOT READY IN A RELATIONSHIP! or so and so…This would give her a step backward to save her face in front of everyone. While dealing many cases, we don’t have to give a straight answer. Instead, we can make the situation more relax or comfortable if we can give a witty or soft reply, which will also make the point. Apparently, you know your friend better than us. Maybe she is the type need YES or NO to make her understand. After all, it is not easy to find a best friend in our life, it will be great if you can find the time to talk to her to save your friendship with her and make it clear the boundary of your friendship should stand. All the best!

I think that what you decided on was right. You can not string her along if you do not feel love for her. She may just have a puppy dog crush, and she'll get over it... but you need to let her know that you did not feel the same and that you did this not to hurt her now but to save her from hurt in the future. Also tell her that feelings may arise but that you can not say they will or will not... Tell her you still want to be her friend but that you understand if she is too hurt to continue being friends with you. Good Luck with the outcome of this. I wish the best for you!

Your friendship probably ended when she said she liked you, she is like a ex girlfriend now. Saying things can get back to what they used to be doesn't work, you can try but it doesn't work, it will never be the same. Why you said no is your own business, you can try make ehr understand why u said it and all but most likelly she will be mad at you for a while.

dude, it was your choice, and may be right or wrong, you've hurt her feelings. but hey, she cannot force you could she? ^^ your friendship? it would always be solved in both of your ways. if you both wanted to have a special relationship, then you go on with it. BUT if you want her for just a friend but SHE wants you to be her man, thats a serious problem and a tough question to answer. just this, try to tell her to hold out her feelings. you said it bro, you dont want her to be your girl, tell her not to be so frustrated and then try to mend again your friendship. have fun with her and then tell jokes that she'll meet a man. a man of fairytale like prince charming but dont get really into the story. relate it with you. but eh, maybe you'll change your mind and love her the same way as she did to you. =)

well my dear friend, you can say it right and even wrong! let me ask you one quest frankly? y did you said no? is it because you love someone else? i will tell you my story...its little same..like i met her...than we became friends...and then later best friend. even i used to say everything to her and she did to me..then finally after a long time i proposed her and she said yes. she said yes not because i was very close to her because she really care for me and even i do.we know each other very well and so we are still going on together happily.. if she is really your best friend and true to you then i would suggest to go for her. To be in a relationship with your best friend is the best relationship you will ever have. so long my dear friend....tc
