How do guys react if they know a girl likes them but they don't like her back?

[Anonymous]

imagine ther is this girl and you know she likes you but you like her as a friend or not at all...

how would you behave arround her or if she starts flirting?

(are there some signs on which you can tell even if the guy is really nice to anyone?)

The general rule is that women are much worse at handling rejection, so it is better to be gentle and subtle. If she starts flirting, I will accuse her (gently and mockingly) of being a flirt; I will tell her (playfully) to stop buttering me up, because I only see her as a friend. That is, if I see her as a friend. If I do not, and she is one of those persistent ones, I will just mention casually in the conversation about this one hot girl I started seeing recently, or tell her I am being rude for staying away from my friends for too long (or in a rush, if we are not in a social setting). Under no circumstances will I communicate to her anything that can remotely be interpreted as romantic interest. She'll get the hint eventually...

The rest of what you said sounds good, but if someone calls me on flirting with them, I personally would take that as a sign that you were flirting back (the train of thought goes like this: you noticing me flirting means you're thinking about flirting - and why would you be thinking that if you weren't in to me?). Pretending to be oblivious but dropping all the other hints you mentioned might be easier.

Calling on her flirting - I agree that it can be misconstrued if not delivered properly. If I have a flirty intonation when I say this, I can understand if she gets it wrong. It must be conveyed in the most friendly, asexual way.

Before when I was younger I would totally take advantage of that situation totally go in for the hook up

Now though if I know she likes me(which it has happened last year) I took her on a date and things were OK but towards the end of the date I told her that would really like to remain friends and to this day we still hang out

Theres no fosure sign to anything because when your crushing on someone or your in love with them. You interpret things differently

I probably would because I have sh*tty luck.

It's rare a guy will riend zone you compared to how much girls do it. Guys are more likely to give it a shot if she looks decent and has a decent attitude.
