The guy I like always tries to hook me up with his friends?

[Anonymous]

So, I really like my guy friend but he keeps trying to hook me up with his friends. He's trying it again and this is the fourth time (he always tries to pick me to date his friends when they're single). How can I fix this?

Maybe he realizes you like him and is trying to send the signal that it's not reciprocated without making things awkward. I mean this is pure speculation but let's say that I was really aware that a good guy friend of mine liked me but I didn't feel the same way at all. I wouldn't want to lose him as a friend so I'd probably mention to him who I liked or suggest to him some girl I think he'd make a good couple with. It's like letting them know they're STRICTLY in the friend zone so we can continue being friends without making things awkward.

Scenario two, which I think is far less likely, is that he could be trying to feel you out. If that's the case and you would risk making things awkward for a bit, just in case it wasn't, then you should just tell him how you feel. So I've never been on the other end of the but if I were and I was unsure, either way I'd probably just put it out there. Worst case scenario is that you're rejected and there will be some avoidance and awkward moments following that but if that's who you want to be with you should take the risk.

If you do get rejected it will aid in the moving on anyways. Just remember that you don't want to be with someone who doesn't want you equally.

Hope this helps!

I've thought of that but I really don't think it would be. Even when I didn't like him or wasn't talking to him much he was asking me to date his friends. I'm still not sure. I could just ask him wtf is up. haha!

Just ask him why he's always trying to hook you up with his friends? Tell him you can find you own men but thanks for the concern. Do it in a joking manner so as not to make things awkward and then maybe he'll realize he should quit.

By telling him not to? jk I know its not as easy but mayb you could clarify things up or turning away from his "picks" to let him know your not interested in them.

I've turned away all but one(: ha ha I definitely won't be accepting any of his picks, thanks
