How to turn down your BGF (without wrecking your friendship)

  • Help! My BF told everyone we kissed--but we didn't!

  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
  • How to deal with a bad kisser
A guy in my class asked me out, but he is one of my close friends. How do I say no without wrecking our friendship?

 

His Answer: Henry, 15, told us “Just be kind and honest. Lying is the worst possible thing you could do and being rude about it just makes it harder to stay friends.”

 

Decoded: There is no need to come up with an elaborate lie about why you can’t go out, because sooner or later he will find out, and then you will feel even worse. Don’t get defensive either and act like a total brat because then you could even ruin the friendship.

 

Your Move: Let him down softly by telling him that you like things the way they are now and you think that a relationship may complicate them. Don’t completely cross him off as a friend though, keep him around and see how things go down the road. Maybe you will open up to the idea later on and then you know he will be there.

there is this guy in my class who is constantly hitting on me, i don't like him and he is annoying. problem is he won't stop, he'll keep talking to me and texting me, and i try to give him hints im not interested by giving him yes or no answers and not texting back, but he is clueless! the other thing is, is he is slightly depressed, i've been told to be nice to him b/c of that, but he aggravates me so much! i try not to associate myself with him, since i don't want to hurt his feelings. i don't know how to get rid of him, since im not intersted in being friends or more with this guy. i'm a shy person and don't like confrontations, so i can't really just tell him to leave me alone, but he can't take a hint, what should i do?!?!

Hey girl,

That's a tough situation -- are you sure you can't be friends with him but let him know you don't want to be anything more? If you tell him directly, he won't flirt with you anymore, but if you say you can still be friends (which doesn't mean you have to hang out all the time, but it's a lot less harsh than saying you never want to talk to him!).

So this guy, my BFG likes me, I think......he fliers with me all the time but I think he likes another girl here's what he does around me
he talks about more personal things
he always comes to me for help with homework, not his best friend who sits next to him
he looks at me and when I catch him looking at me he smiles and looks away
Idk if he likes me.....


Hey girl,

If he trusts you enough to talk about personal stuff, that's a good sign, and it's great that you two can study together! What makes you think he likes another girl, though? Has he said anything about her? It sounds like he might be into you or he might just want to be close friends, so keep spending time together and see where things go!

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!! so i REALLY like one of my best guy friends. we're in the same musical, and during we talked 24/7 verbally and texting!! now the show is over, and we barely talk:/ what happened? i think it's because we lost that connection through the musical, but how can we gain it back? i miss him so muchFrown he wasn't just a crush, he was/ is special. i'm going to one of his lacrosse games in about 2 weeks, how can i gain our connection back through that? thanks!!!!

 

Hey chica!

Some guys can be susceptible to the 'out of sight, out of mind' rule, so they might enjoy people's company while doing things together, but don't stay in touch when they stop doing those things together. It seems the only way you can spend time with him is by taking part in activities he does, which sucks if you don't have an interest in things he likes to do. You could try to talk about other things you both like to see if you guys would start talking as much as you used to. <3

Thanks for the advice! I don't really have any BGF's. (Well, there was one that used to be my BGF when we were little, but as we grew up, we grew apart. Sad, I know...)
