Letting him down gently...

 

I have a prob, I have this friend that's a boy and nobody really likes him that much (he's not popular). He is a pretty good friend, but since the beginning of the school year it’s been obvious he likes me but I only like him as a friend, and almost not even that because he is soooo annoying!


He has called me more than 10 times today, three of them in less than five minutes. He is really nice but he also he normally complains about his life when he talks to me on the phone. He is a good friend, but really dorky, annoying and obnoxious. A week or two ago told me he liked me, but I messed up and told him that if I didn’t have a boyfriend that there was a little possibility that I would have said yes.


I want to be his friend but I also don’t. I also feel bad he doesn’t have many friends. What do I do! HELP! HELP! HELP!


- Silentlover'


Come clean with him about your feelings. Tell him very kindly that you just want to be friends with him. You don’t want to hurt his feelings, but you need to honest. You can’t lead him on; it’s unfair to him.


Ask about why he complains about his life so much and see if you can help him make it better. If he really doesn’t have that many friends, he is probably lonely, so he is clinging to you. Ask him to stop calling so often and try introducing him to some more people, so he can expand his social circle. Don’t push him away. Just try to redirect him a little bit. There are plenty of friends out there for him!


Love ya,
Lara

so theres this one guy in the grade lower than me and my bff says that he likes me. she said she got it from his bff. i sometimes ride his bus on wednesdays like today and he came and sat in my seat w me. i dont wanna hurt his feelings and im not sure if he does like me anyway but im starting to think that its true... help!!!




Hey girl, I'd be careful reading too much into signals. I'd try talking to him to get the full scoop. If you're not interested in him, let it slide. If he comes out and tells you he likes you, tell him you're really flattered but you just aren't looking for a BF right now -- letting him down gently.

MOD MOD MOD I really like this guy that sits next to me in my 5th hour class. i think he likes me but I'm too afraid to ask him. And if he does like me, then I would be too afraid to ask him out. Any suggestions on who I should go about over coming my shyness towards this guy?

 

Hey chica, remember he's just a guy, a human like you so no need to be afraid. When you talk to him try planning in your head what you want to say to him, that way you won't get soo tongue tied. Before you approach him be sure to close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. This will help calm you down. Chat with him like you would  a friend, just a really cute one lol. Hope this helps ya out! Smile

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD okay first of all i know mod means ull answer my question but does it stand 4 anything? lol okay and i was wondering if u have any advice for a girl to get over a guy she REALLY liked, asked who he liked/asked him out and he declined.help??

 

Hey chica, mod is just short for moderator, so instead of writing out moderator you can just put mod. No worries, lol lots of girls asked if it stod for anything. Smile Getting over a guy can be difficult, so give yourself time to get back to normal. It's important that you stay busy. The more time you spend hanging out having fun with friends, the less time you'll have to sit in your house and think about him. Call up your friends and vent. Dial up your bestie, and talk about everything you're feeling about him. Write things down too. Grab a journal or diary and jot down everything you're feeling about him. You can write poems, songs stories, whatever makes you feel better. Lastly, accept and understand what happened. Okay he doesn't like you, so what? There are tons of guys out there who will feel the same way you do about them, you just gotta find 'em! Hope this helps! Smile

Mod! Is it ok to hug your BGF in public? Will ppl think your dating?! My BGF is sorta worried about it to because this girl we don't like started this rumor that my BGF was dating my BFF but he is not. If someone sees me and him hug they might think that we are dating! and ppl think he is dating my BFF! So then ppl will think the is dating 2 girls at once!!! Please help! ~Chelsea xoxo

 

Hey girly,

It is def ok to hug your BGF in public, but for a couple weeks you should try not to, just until the rumors are cleared up!

my ex wont get over me. we broke up over a month and a half ago and i found out he cried over me last weekend, and now i found out today by his friend that hes writing a song to/about me. we talk maybe every couple of weeks and i dont know what to say to him. my friend gave the suggestion "stop crying over me cuz im not worth it". do u think that would be good to email him...maybe?

 

hey girl,

 

 it must be really tough for you to have to deal with this. but the best idea is to be friendly, but derail him from liking you. I wouldn't email him, but see if a friend would on your behalf? you don't want to look like you want to communicate. it might lead him on.

so i was in homeroom the other day. there were a bunch of seats open all over the room. but my crush chose to sit next to me! what does this mean?




It means you have plenty of opportunities to talk to him if he keeps sitting there Smile also it may mean he likes you so keep flirting and have some fun. xoxo kerra

ok so i posted a mod question a week or two ago but it wasnt answered! here it is again:
im in a selected choir at school, and we have to do some dancing. my dance partner reeeeaaaaally likes me (i hate him). hes told his friends that he likes me, and pretty much everyone in my grade (7th) and his grade (8th) can just tell that he likes me.
he holds me WAAAY too close when we dance, looks at me a lot, and everyone ( thats in the audience) tells me that he takes the dancing way too seriously, and holds me way differently than the other guys hold their partners.
and, i know this is gross (especially for me!), but i swear hes poked me with his you-know-what a few times! i almost ran away screaming!
how do i tell him that i dont like him as a boyfriend without him thinking im a be-yotch, because im not and i dont want a reputation like that. thanks so much!




Hey girl! You should talk to your teacher about this and you could ask for a new partner if he is bothering you.

So there is this guy who I have gone to school with since elemantray school, and now I am a freshman in hs and I think he likes me and my best friend thinks that too, and it makes me nervous, because he followed me into the school library once, and he has wrote on facebook wall a whole bunch, and it really bugs me, and winter formal is coming up and Im afraid he is gonna ask me to it, but I am more planning on going with my friends unless someone else asks me, but I really dont want to go with him because I don't want to lead him on.




Hey girl, if he asks, just tell him you're going with friends. No biggie. If another guy should ask you and he sees you there with him, he should take the hint and stay out of your way.

The guy i like is dating another girl just today !!! I still like him so i was thinking of befriending him and getting him to like me but not make it to obvious.... What do u think ?

my boyfriend and i broke up about 5 months ago because of distance and bad timing, but while we were together we cared about each other a lot. he was one of my best friends, i could tell him anything. when i was with him i felt like the world could end and as long as i was with him i'd be okay, he was kind of like my safety net. now that hes gone that "safety net" feeling is gone too. when ever i think about him i get this pit in my stomach and its almost as though i want to hurl. sometimes i want to cry i miss him so much, but i'm done with crying. i dont want to cry, or miss him, but i just can't get him out of my head.
now a days its as though everything i do brings me back to him. everything hes given me is now in a box, along with all the pictures and i dont really listen to the same songs or music anymore. i feel like im going crazy, i've had little crushes, even a different boyfriend since, but i broke up with him because of the feelings i still have for the last one. i just cant seem to have anymore feelings for someone else besides a little crush. i dont know what to do any more. im trying to find something to distract my self with, like dancing again or maybe doing winter swim team, but i haven't gotten into it yet. and out of all the distractions i've tried, none of them have worked.
he has a new girlfriend now, i found that out the last time i saw him. our high school's were playing each other for football, and after his game he came out of the locker room (hes girlfriend wasn't around) and when we talked he gave me the same look that he used to give me. what could that mean?
we talked at the other game the next day and when ever we've talked we've never brought it back to relationships. i miss him a ton, hes all i can think about. what should i do?

 

I understand why you two broke up, I really do, but sometimes space is what you need. At first, it's tough, and I see that you still haven't gotten over him and I'm proud of you for realizing it. I think that after five months, you could give this a try if you wanted to. Try getting in touch with him again. Best,

Thanks, it was great! yay that mkaes me happy. haha i love this guy, so fun to be around. we gotta figure out when we can hang though! sucks we go to different high shools Frown any tips for what i should do now??

 

 If he makes you happy when you spend time together, then you def should! Hang out on the weekends, go to each others' school events--double the events for you two! Check out a movie, anything! It's actually nice, in my opinion, to date a guy from a diff school. Best,

twilight_34<3 on 11/22/2009 1:10:37 AM

Hey mod-- So i had my Birthday Party last night. It was really fun, and i'm confused if this guy likes me! The first example is before the party he was texting me trying to find a ride so he could come, so i was helping him...because he really wanted to come. Then during the party we would talk a lot, and he random came up to me and put his arm around me & then we took some pics. Then later before he left he gave me a huge hug...and we were texting after the party. I asked him if he had fun, and hes like: "yeah it was good we should hang soon too". (Seems like a good sign eh?) Haha so then we started brainstorming what we should dom and today we were texting again and then i found out i had a party to go to so we couldnt hang out. He was like trying to see if i could miss then party and hang and we were both sad we could't chill. He also liked the pic on facebook of him with his arm around me. Anyway, do you think he likes me? My best friend thinks he does, but I have no clue. Sorry this is so long...thanks for the help! =]

 

Hey gal, first, Happy Belated Birthday and second, ypu he likes you. He wanted to come to your birthday, he spent the whole night hanging with you and he wants to chill with you so more. He is defintely crushing on you. Smile

MOD:
i have no idea what to do. theres this guy that used to like me and talk to me all the time. i started liking him but i didnt really show it because i wasnt ready. now he barely talks to me and when i walk by him he pretends he doesnt see me or looks down. rarely, he randomly starts a conversation with me but the next day he'll act like it never happened. im afraid he probably just gave up because i didnt really act like i liked him. but now i try to talk to him but he seems to avoid me or is always talking to someone else. we used to be good friends but now i dont even think were friends anymore. what does it mean that he sometimes talks to me but then avoids me? how can i start talking to him again when he always looks away?

 

Hey girl! He might be avoiding you because maybe he thought you didn't like him. You should try to talk to him more often and eventually hang out so that he can see that you like him.

hey whats up? ok i have a question that id like to hear your opinion on....what do you think of the idea of having a "friends with benefits" thing with a guy...who btw im not allowed to date..?thanks!







Friends with benefits with a guy never really ends well. Someone ends up liking the other one while the other one only wants to hook up. I suggest you dont get involved with a guy like this. Someone will get hurt and its not worth it. xoxo kerra

Ok I hav a huge crush on this guy and I've liked him for like a year and He's the one and only crush I've ever had and I like him so so much!I really want to tell him, but i'm worried that he might not like me back, even though he seems 2 like me back. I talked to my friend about it and she thinks I need to tell him or else i will never know if he does like me (she also thinks we would make a great couple!) i don't want to make a fool of myself if he knows but doesn't like me! My BFF has a boyfriend and she can only go on group dates, so if me and my crush did end up going out I could probably date too, my mom also knows about my crush. So I guess my dilemma is tell my crush or be crushed! Sorry this is so long!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo







I think you should amp up your flirting with him and see if he responds. If hes teasing you and flirting back then your confidence will be higher and you'll be able to tell your crush easier. Eventually you should tell him you like him so something happens. Good luck! xoxo kerra

I know how, you feel about your guy friend liking you as a girlfriend. I have this friend that is a guy at school. named Herbie. and he likes me as a girlfriend. but, I don't like him as a boyfriend. just tell him very nicely,
''I don't want to hurt your feelings, I have a boyfriend and you're a nice guy and all I want to be your friend but you're not making this easy calling me 10 times''. and if he doesn't listen get his number blocked from calling you.

Hey! I really like this guy, but I only have one class with him, and we don't sit next to each other, and whenever I see him outside of class, he's with a group of friends. Plus, his group of friends and my group of friends don't really hand out together. I'm scared to death to talk to him. I know you're gonna say "just start a conversation with him" but it is NOT that easy for me. I'm very shy around new people. Please help!




Hey babe, the only way to get to know him is to talk to him! Bring an outgoing friend with you to talk to him when he's with a group of his friends and let your friend lead the convo and find a good time to step in to talk to your guy.

MOD hi. so theres this guy that ive had a very big crush on since probs like July (we went to summer camp together and now have 3 classes togetherSmile ) but ive known him since like 6th grade (im in 8th now.) and anyway he like knows of me and we have little conversations and stuff but always wit lots of other people around and other then that i dont talk to him, he doesnt talk to me. Frown. but anyway hes kinda shy but popular and i have lots and lots of friends but i dont consider myself popular. so were in dif like clicks almost. hes only had like 2 gfs since like 6th grade and now hes going out wit a girl (that i really dont like) but hes going out with her and im sad. also 1 of my bffs likes him too, Frown. but i dont think theres much of a chance of either of us ever going out with him, but i can only hope. so there are 2 problems, when ever we talk bout boys at like sleep overs (which always brings up stuff bout our crush) she get like defencive almost and talks bout how if he was to like either of us he would obviously like her (i mean like what the heck?!) and its kinda annoying. also i really really REALLY like this guy and i have absouloutly no clue how to let him no??? also HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND!!!! how do i deal with that??? its just a middle school relashionship, should i just let it fade out on its own??? but omg i REALLY LIKE THIS GUY!!! heLP PLEASE. sorry this is confusing and long. thanx.




Hey girl, I know it's hard, but this guy has a girlfriend. Translation: he's off limits for both you and your friend. You need to step back and let this guy and his girl be together for as long as they're going to be. It's not fair to her if you try to get in the way. Also, it's never a good idea to go after the same guy your friend is. Sisters before misters, and while she's said some pretty horrible things, you've gotta understand a guy's not worth sacrificing a friendship for. I know it may be hard, but there are tons of guys out there. The best thing you can do is get to know some of the others in your class and know with time this crush of yours will fade out. You'll meet your Prince Charming. It's just not him.

ok so last night i texted my crush about homework and he responded and everything, but it was a really short convo. I really want 2 text him again because now I know he has my number, but I don't want 2 seem stalkerish. we talk in class when we r allowed 2 and share laughs and stuff, he even brought up the texts (but it was because he told me the wrong assignment, but I knew what the right assignment was). Should I wait a few days 2 text him again, and what should I say? Girls if u hav any suggestions, please post them on my profile! Smile thx!
xoxoxoxoxo




Hey girl, why not try talking to this guy in person? Text convos can be kind of awkward if you have no real purpose. Why not use a conversation in class (for ex, debating Team Edward v. Team Jacob) as a spring pad for a continued and natural debate? (;

Omg if u want an awesome way to flirt with a guy and let him show off his strength I have a good one. OK, there are some different names for this, but I call it tennis. You and the guy put your hands together, so you hands are alternating between his hands. Now one at a time you slap each other's hand (kinda like hitting balls back and forth in tennis). Now, CAUTION THIS CAN HURT! So be careful not to play too much because u dont want to hurt ur hands. The first one to say "OW" loses. This is so funny because if ur really good at this a guy can get intimidated and want to play more! If you want, u might let him win some but then come back and beat him. If u have problems understanding this post a comment and ill be glad to help! I played this game with my crush and we got so into it we talk about it nonstop we had some serious bonding- especially holding his hands in the game! Good luck! xoxoxo

~~~~MOD MOD MOD~~~~ I really like this guy, but im scared to death to talk to him. We talk a little in class sometimes (just comparing homework answers). I don't really want him to know that I like him until I have some idea as to whether or not he likes me back. What should I do? How do I drop subtle hints to him? I know that you'll say "start a convo with him" but it's not that simple for me. First, I hardly ever see him since the new trimester started, and when I do see him, he's with a bunch of friends. What do I do? Thanks to anyone for helping!!!
--Check out my profile!!--




Hey girl, I think you should set a goal with this guy: focus on being friends. That way there's no pressure to flirt or let 'em know you like him yet. He'll also get to know you for the amazing girl you are. Start slowly when you see him talking about the classes you were in together. From there, let it transition to other things: fave TV shows, movies, etc. and you'll see how much in common you have!

Hey babe,


It's pretty likely that she's jealous and if she has lied before then she's even less easy to believe, but I think you're right to doubt te guy too, if he's known for being a flirt. Either way, you don't like him so it's not really important. Maybe he told her he doesn't like you so he wouldn't be embarrrassed that you moved on.

Hey babe, maybe the problem is that you are trying too hard and thinking about it too much. Just be yourself and be confident and comfortable and he'll notice you for you!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD I really like my BGF and I think he likes me we hang out together a lot. I'm afraid it might be awkward if we go out. My friend said she'd ask him if he likes me and tell him we should go out but she hardly sees him and hasn't done it yet. I want someone else to but a lot of my other BFFs like him to.

 

Hey girl! If you like him that much, you should def do it yourself in person. He will like it better coming from you. Be confident and go for it, chick!

help pleasee ... me and my friend have just been discusin me askin out this guy ... but i dont want anyone to know about us .. theres a serten person in the school who i dont want them to know about it ... what should i doo!!??
MODMODMMOD!

 

Hey girl! If you don't know this guy that well, you should talk to
him and get to know him better. If you do like him, you could ask him
out when you are more comfortable around him. You could ask him to not
make a big deal about it, but he probably will tell other people.

Okay, so my BFF said she like my crush a little. And I like him, too. He already has a girlfriend, and I really wanna ask him out. What can I do to catch his eye, and what can I do about my friend liking him too?! Thanks!

****Mod******Mod********Mod*********Mod*********Mod********** Okay, so I've liked this guy for over a year now. He's completely amazing, and I'm totally in love with him, although I rarely see him anymore. Lets call him guy A. Then, there's this other guy who I met this year who I sort of like, but only a little bit. He's guy B. A few days ago I made the mistake of telling my meddlesome friend that I sort of liked guy B. Now, she thinks I should completely give up on guy A since I never see him and pursue guy B, even though I don't really want to. However, guy A might hate me (but I doubt it) and I'm good friends with guy B and they're both such nice guys, so I don't know what to do!!! Help!!! ~Kendi *****Mod*******Mod********Mod*********Mod********

 

Hey girl!  Your friend is trying to help you out, but in the end, it's up to you.  Since you like two guys, don't get into a relationship yet.  That wouldn't be fair to either guy or yourself.  I would keep talking to both guys and just see where that goes.  You don't have to make a decision right now.  Just keep getting to know them both better until you sort things out.  Best wishes, Kristen <3

MOD! MOD MOD! MOD! MOD! MOD! MOD! MOD! MOD! MOD! I have kinda a wierd problem... i cannot eat around boys, i dont know whats wrong with me but i cant! This is hard for me because i eat at the umm *popular* table during lunch. i can eat in front of anyone outside of school and i eat *a lot* so anerexia isnt it. I dont know wht 2 do becaus ei look stupid staring at my food during lunch.. do have any tricks or anything tht doesnt in volve like therapy tht i can do??? thank you!!!!

 

hey girl!  It sounds like you're just nervouse about spilling or being clumsy around the "popular" guys.  Try bringing some less messy food to lunch.  But really, don't worry.  Take a deep breath, and relax.  Guys like a girl who is natural, relaxed, and fun to be around anyways.  And what's the worst that could happen?  Everyone is clumsy every now and then.  A little spill is no big deal.  Best, Kristen <3

MOD! okay so since kindergarden i have been friends with a guy. lets call him jason. and i was a tomboy in elementary school and jason and i were just friends event hough i always kind of liked him more then a friend. WEll since ive been in junior high jasona dn i are no longer bffs but are still good friends and im not a tomboy anymore. I think jason now likes me as more then a friend. But the problems are i dont want to mess up our friendship if we date or if he tells me he likes me. and i cant date untill ima sophmore. so wat do i do? do i just stay friends untill i can date?

 

Hey girl!  Since you can't date anyways, stay friends.  You have nothing to lose in staying close to him.  If you end up liking him more later on, and he still seems interested, then you can consider whether you want to date or not.  I know you don't want to mess up your friendship, but some of the best relationships start out as great friendships.  My bf and I were really good friends at first, and now, we've been together for over two years.  Sometimes you have to take a risk, and it can definitely pay off.  Best, Kristen <3

MOD! Hey (: So, I like this guy. Our families hang out a good bit. He's really sweet and funny. He has a nickname for me and he usually says hey to me when he sees me. But some of the problem is, I'm a freshman and he's a junior. & another problem is, one day he'll say hey to me and be what seems like flirting with me and then the next couple of days he won't say anything, but he'll just look at me when I pass him in the hall or something. I can't really tell if he's flirting with me , cause hes just really friendly. Last week, I finally tried flirting with him, and I'm pretty sure he flirted back. But like I said, I can't really tell! lol I mean, I'm 14 (I turn 15 in January) and he's 16. Is this too big of an age difference? & should I just keep trying to flirt with him and see how it goes, or try something else? Thanks for your help! xoxox

 

Hey girl!  That is a little bit of an age difference, but I don't think it's "too big."  Especially since your families are close, things could work out.  I would keep trying to flirt and talk to him more oftern to see how things work out.  Best, Kristen <3

MOD MOD MOD!!! Lol! Ok so last friday this guy found out i like him and like he brought it up, He was like you have bad friends cause they keep telling your secrets, and he said it like 3 times! And like he acted a little different but not like super different but like he was messing with me more then usual and wwe wwere smiling more but idk lol if he doesnt like say anything about it 2morrow what do i do?? And totally seprate-- how do you flirt??----

 

Hey girl.  It sounds like he's amping up the flirting a bit.  If he liked you before, knowing that you're into him, gave him the green light to take it up a notch.  If he doesn't say anything about it, I wouldn't bring it up.  Just keep talking and flirting with him more to see what happens.  Flirting can be anything from playful teasing, to sweet smiles from across the room, to even just calling him up or walking over to talk to him.  It's all about showing him you're interested and like being around him.  Best, Kristen <3
