How Do I Tell A Boy I'm Not Interested Without Hurting Feelings? by roses(f): 8:57pm On Mar 11, 2006
quick question. I 'm not sure how to say no to " boy friends" who want to take the friendship further. I mean "no " as in to say "I don't think this can work, I don't think u are my match" . I try to respect people's feelings that is why it is difficult 4 me. besides I don't want to spoil the friendship . embarassed
thanks.

Rejection always leads to hurt feelings. You can just be honest and say what you feel and hope he understands or at least appreciates your honesty. But you don't need to close the door of possibility completely, do you? People change, you know.

You know wat baby girl?i know its very hard to let out that kinda message, Just tell him you have a lot of things on your mind at the moment and you need some space for a while, i am sure he will understand and eventually leave if he waits long enough and you still havent returned, trust me, segun

oh the naivety! Now that there's opportunity to break hearts, break oh. Because when your turn come, there'll be no mercy. I can assure you that much.

Dont hurt, be sincere, make friends and don't give wrong impressions, don't try to get too close if you don't want a relationship. share some other interests in business, career, dreams and so on,  Be plain, if he truly loves you he will resort to what you have to offer him which is friendship,  then things will sure happen when its meant to be grin,

@ roses,

honey, there ain't no way that u're not gonna break hearts or hurt feelings , that's just life 4 u! right now, u might not be aware of it, but unconsciously, u've hurt loads a' people , but does that change who u are? definitely not!

so if there are guys milling around u that u don't want, then tell point-blank that u don't wanna have nada 2 do with 'em - u could tell 'em rudely or muster 'nuff guile 2 be nice, it's all good; but the important thang is that u let 'em get the message and let 'em know that u're dead-pan serious, else u'll never know no peace, 4 they'll just keep coming back and that girl, can be very infuriating!

do what u gotta do girl , most importantly though, do what's good 4 u!

He will get hurt, no doubt about it. But give him time to deal with his emotions and even if he yells at you, take it all in good stride. After some time, try to be his friend. By the, time would have healed his wound. Its not easy but one day, it will work out.

@ Opelovely

4rm ur views i can tell u are a very lovely person with nice caring thots 4 people, but if 4 any reason u're gonna break-up with a guy, never , never, ever go back & say u want y'all 2 be friends just cause u wanna help soothe his hurt , xcept dat bother is moi, d pope or Jesus Christ; he's gonna read ur intentions wrong , best u break-up with a guy & let him be - with time he'll get over it & move on; take it 4rm a bro. who knows a whole about dis gettin hurt business !!! wink

i wonder o. . . that would hurt the guy the more. Any better alternative?. . ; this is a really serious matter cos not everyone including guys have that balls to tell the opposite that he/she is not interested.

If you tell him yes,he'd cry for joy.
If you tell him no, he'd cry in pain.
Any which way, they'd be tears.
Do what you gota do.
Re: How Do I Tell A Boy I'm Not Interested Without Hurting Feelings? by katency(f): 11:07am On Mar 21, 2007
You can't please him and displease yourself so tell him your mind,but in a decent way e.g well am not really ready for a relationship or i want to focus more on my studies or i need some emotional brake for now e .t .c
