How do you tell your best friend you're just not i

24 posts

I have this male friend who recently, when he found out I was seeing someone new, confessed that he's in love with me. I told him I wasn't interested in him and now everything has been really awkward. I don't want to end the friendship because he's been an important part of my life, but how can I have him in the same room as my new boyfriend? Any suggestions would be useful!



Thanks!

Its time to sit him down and tell him how important his friendship is to you and that you would still like him to be part of this next stage in your life. If he cant handle that then the only thing to do is tell him he needs to find someone that can recipricate the feeling s and whats more deserve them

Now this be a tricky one, for sure, what if he like says he wants to go back to the way things used to be between you like really good friends, but really he is just kidding himself and that torch he holds for you is like burning stronger than ever, this could really eat him up inside, u know.
FlyGuy believes that your friend can work through what must be a devastating period of rejection and humiliation for him, I myself encountered a similar plight many years ago, I no longer speak to the friend whom I believed love could have blossomed from our strong bond of friendship. The guy whom she fell in love with got her preganat and then left her shortly after the birth of her child, I can recall this period in her life with glee and a smirk on my face, perhaps she chose the wrong option. So you think long and hard about your next step missy as it may prove to be more important than you could credit for.
