How to not catch feelings for someone?

[Anonymous]

There is a girl who is crushing on me. We are friends. She is really pretty and and good friend. But she would like to date me and I dont want to date, not just her but at all. Her friends often tell me to go to her and talk when she is alone or to text her but I just dont want to get into dating. I mean i dont want to ghost her but i dont want to be too close cuz she could think I am into her. She is really nice and sweet and i dont want to hurt her. It is just me who is sick of whole dating and disappointment of it. I am not dating material anyway cos all girls who wanted me ended it after some time so we would break up anyway. How to keep my distance to avoid feelings and her getting hurt?

Either you or he/she has feelings or they do not. Sometimes having sex can bring some feelings on.

Just be honest with her and straight out tell her you don't want to date. You could also just put a bit more distance between you both. Do not text her everyday, girls think that means something. I would also tell her friends you are not interested in her like that.
