Only just friend

They say that love is a gift. But if you don't appreciate the gift or if you feel like the gift isn't meant for you, gently refuse it and thank the giver. There's no other way to do this if you don't feel the same. It will also be unfair if you drag it on and keep the other person holding on for nothing. It might change the friendship, but be always open for any possibilities, like maybe the other person will just need some time to get over it. There's no need to sever the friendship, just play it by ear and keep the communication open.

Never lasted. I had some guy friends that in the end were interested and not my friend. After refusing to date them they just stopped talking to me. That was when I lived in another country, they just cut me off out of nowhere and although it's really painful cause I really saw them as brothers, in the end I'm always glad to find people are like this sooner than later.

I just would tell him directly and after the explanation, I would not allow him to do more effort. I actually had a friend who 'fell in love' with me. I only saw him as a friend and told him that it was just friendship that I see. He insisted that I'm just being coy and would learn to love him. That was the time when I needed to be blunt and then told him straight to his face that he's not my type and I am not the type of girl who would want a guy to pursue me - if I say "NO" it really means "NO". I know I hurt him but what else could I do? I wouldn't want to be with anyone just because I didn't want to be honest with myself instead of just hurting him one-time. It is actually possible. But you need to be firm with your thoughts. Don't let him do things for you so that he wouldn't feel "used" in the end. Just be friends. Don't make him your best friend (it would hurt). Just be a friend, don't treat him extra special because you don't want to hurt him - treat him the way you treat everyone else. He will get over it. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

I think that it can be very hard when you are friends with somebody and they fall in love with you, or if you fall in love with them. If you both feel the same about each other then it can be okay, but there can be a problem if one of you feels completely different to the other, as this is the time that it might have an impact on your friendship. I fell in love with a friend once and he said that he didn't feel the same way about me, and I will admit that it was very hard because of the fact that I had to spend a lot of time around him knowing that he could never like me in the same way that I liked him.

if you feel you friend reach your request of girlfriend or boyfriend,you fall in love with he or she.if you feel he or she only is you friend,he or she is your friend in the future,you tell he or she in some correct ways,I think that he or she can understand you.best wishes.

oh, that's really a awkward job I just experienced. My best friend told me he likes me recently. How I hope that didn't happen, Because now I feel so embarrassing when stay with him. I don't want to lose him for this, but in my eyes, he's just the one, more than a friend, and less than a lover.So I also have no idea.

Hello tinetine isn´t not easy! There are type of love, and kind of friendships. And style of people. I think the most important thing is truth. You have to be always honest with your friend, if you love him or not, you must tell it to him. I married my bestfriend, he was my first boyfriend, then we were neat friends for 10 years and then we got married, this dec we will be 15 years. I think that lies are not fair for anyone.

That happened to me in high school. My best friend tried courting me for 3 times in 3 years. On his last attempt, I told him, we'll try. But eventually, our relationship wasn't as great as when we were just friends. So i just told him that we just be good friends.

Well it's okay to fall in love with a friend. The trouble is like you said, if the feeling is not mutual. Well you could try breaking it to him as gently as possible. But most of the times rejection would be hurtful and friendship may be severed.
