What would you do if your close friend tries to get intimate with you but that’s not what you want?

[Anonymous]

How should I tell him? I don’t want him to hate me …😪

[Anonymous]

I mean, just by refusing someone that has a crush on you... They'll feel kinda sad any way. Doesn't matter if you said it politely or not.

But it's your friend, so I can't think of any other way than to tell him something in these lines:

"I apologise, but I only see you as a friend and I'd like to keep our friendship, if it's okay by you".

[Asker]

I’ll do that
And will let you know how it goes … thank you

You're most welcome, I hope everything will go smoothly ^^

[Asker]

I’ve actually told him this before but he still likes to get touchy and all … I’m sure he thinks I don’t really mean it when I say it
IM A NICE PERSON and that’s a bad thing in this situation … HELP!

Ohh I see... If he's crossing the line you'd need to make sure to let him know that he's crossing your boundaries/personal space.
He needs to respect it.

But I'm afraid that he'll continue trying to get touchy, if you don't call him out somehow 😅

[Asker]

I might just have to punch him to get him to understand 😂

[Opinion Owner]

Lmao, at this rate I wouldn't doubt that 🤣
Actions speak louder than words, as they say xD

[AviatorTom]

You should be honest. What's the classic line?

"I like you, but not in that way."

[In_Trance]

You say no, stop pretending that you're friends and go your separate ways

[richgentlem4n]

u must tell him or he will think you like what he's doing.

[richgentlem4n]

it's not difficult to say no.

[Anonymous]

Id just tell her the truth.

[Opinion Owner]

Just be direct and too the point, but don't be mean about it.

[Asker]

I really don’t want to lose him as a friend

[Asker]

I guess I’d have to let him go if he doesn’t want to stay

[Opinion Owner]

That sounds like a good idea.

[Urvashimaghi]

It will be a great chance
