Guys, is it possible for a girl friend to confess to you without it becoming awkward?

[downsideup]

Assume that you have a female friend, but not a close friend. You guys walk to class together (same schedules), and get really touchy with each other (hugging, poking, leaning on each other). One day she tells you that she likes you, but you don't feel the same way. What would you do (would you stop associating as much with her so as to not lead her on, etc.), and would there be any way for her to make it less awkward for you?


I like this guy, and I'd like to get to know him better even if he does not feel the same way. However, I dislike the looming "I have a secret crush on a friend" feeling, so lately I feel like it might be easier to tell him, but I don't want it to get all awkward between us. Any advice?

i wouldnt stop associating with her if anything i would want her to tell me probably bring yous closer but then again everyone is different but i wouldnt stop associating just because it seems special

You could tell her you don't feel the same way and go out with your actual crush. Just keep things normal between you and your friend like it always has been, because things usually work themselves out as time goes by.

I would tell her exactly how I feel. I would just carry on like nothing happened.

I'd flirt back with her because she seems to be special enough to tell me she likes me..

If that happened to me I would talk to her way more and see if its worth it, you should talk to him more if you want to date him, thats all i can say.

You telling a guy you like him isn't going to make him feel awkward, so don't worry about the guy. That kind of stuff doesn't make us feel awkward. If we liked you and you said this, you helped us. If we don't like you that way, we'd just tell you that and move on so it wouldn't be awkward for you. Generally, guys don't have big ups and downs with their friends over medium to small stuff. It takes a lot to have us change our ways. We're thick like that and in this instance, it's good.

Tell her exactly how u feel and go out with your actual crush

If a girl told me that she likes me and I didn't share the same feelings, I would still feel really good about it. One of my friends says she likes me and that makes me feel more comfortable around her, not awkward at all honestly. Just if he says no, do not keep asking him about it. That would just get annoying.

I've never understood this whole awkward thing to be quite honest. A no is a no, as long as its done respectively with no hard feelings then there shouldn't be anything awkward about it afterwards. The faster both of you move on from it, the faster you can return to being just friends again.

Agreed.
