you're single now. and how bout when a close friend of yours suddenly confessed to you, how would you react? what if that friend is just a plain friend like you couldn't even imagine having any romantic relations with that person? how would you turn him down? or would you give it a shot?

What an awkward feeling if that happens.It's hard to turn down a close friend. If that happens to him I will let him feel what i really feel. So, i'll tell him that i see both of us friends and not more than that. :)

way to go. though it is really difficult to turn down a friend because it seems like you're feeling the same hurt if you turn him/her down not to mention, you're the one doing it. but there's no choice with the matter. you couldn't possibly have a romantic relationship with that friend just because you couldn't turn him/her down... such a difficult situation.

I know right. I believe you can handle that stuff because you know your friend. Just explain to him you really don't like him. hahah! i hope you can. Good luck.lol

it is easy to say it in words, the things that you know you should do in that kind of situation. when you're actually doing it, or maybe in my case, it's just that i couldn't muster to speak at first even though i do know what to say and i know that i would turn him down eventually. it's really hard. and awkward to each other after.
and not a good ending.

I guess I'd be surprised hearing something like that. I haven't had any friend confessed to me she's inlove. I'd also feel good about myself because that means someone is attracted to me.

I guess all you have to do is tell her the truth. You can't just ignore her just because you can't turn her down. I don't usually turn women down but I think that's the right way to go.

I have always believed that love should start with friendship so I am not surprise when friendships blooms into a romantic love. If I were the person, I would be honest about my feelings for the other, if I see him only as a friend then that is what I will tell him. I don't want to pretend that I feel the same way, romantically attracted to him, then eventually end up damaging the friendship because I will not be able to reciprocate the same affection that he will give me.

That is really awkward specially if you really see that person as a friend only. I will be shocked, probably think first since I might offend that person if I answer right away. In my case, since I already have a boyfriend for 6 years, I might just talk to that person personally in a way that our friendship will not be affected.

yeah sounds great if you feel the same way. that would be fantastic moment when your friend suddenly tells you that he/she likes you. but, what if you don't like him/her in the same manner? how can you say that to your friend? it's difficult co'z that person is your friend. is kinda hard to hurt a friend even if you didn't even mean to.

yeah, it's simple as it sounds but when you actually gonna do it, first, it is really hard to even let the words escape from your mouth. even if you have something in mind that you wanna tell your friend, it's still really hard to speak up. and damn awkward.

i experienced this and happily we became better friends after. I have a bestfriend and suddenly he confessed. At that time, I was shocked, but I talked to him heart to heart. I told him I dont want to lose our friendship and I think that I'd be better as his lifetime bestfriend. He is a great man and I told him theres nothing wrong with him with me saying no. I just cant be more than that to him, I wanted to keep our friendship and we did. We are still friends and he is happily married with a great girl now..
