How to not lead this girl on?

[GotHeeem]

Ok, I'm a pretty nice guy. This has happened a few times in the past and because of it, I rarely even talk to girls I'm not interested in. There is this really nice cool girl that is clearly into me. I feel really bad because I am just not into her at all. She texts me and stuff and I'm nice to her, but I really don't want her to get the wrong idea. How do I go about this without leading her on, but also not being a dick. I have very few female friends because it always ends up being like this whenever I get to know girls that I'm not interested in romantically.

Ask her in a friendly air when in conversation. And tell her the question no girl should ever agree to, "Is it wrong that I just want to be friends?" And you shouldn't close yourself off from every girl you're not attracted to. Just continue to be the best version of yourself and tell the truth to the girls about how you feel about them in a polite and courteous manner. Believe it or not, all the attention from the girls you aren't interested in will lead you to someone you are interested in. And girls who see how mature you are for handling your rejection of them will move on. Good luck!

I would say it's ok to be friends with her if she is willing and you are ok with it, but make it very clear you are not interested in her in that way. that can be through talking about how you think another girl is cute or something like that.

So, if I were "her" I would rather you just tell me. It hurting her feelings are only because of her very on esteem issues. You wouldn't be being a dick. Your being honest. In which will help her & you in the Long haul-

Just tell her that sometimes people misinterpret your intentions and you just want her to know that you enjoy her friendship but would really like to keep it in the friend zone. Short and sweet.

Tell her you is a really nice girl that any guy would be lucky to have her bit you are not attracted to her that way. You just want to be friends.

Tell her you just don't see her in a romantic light. It may hurt her but being truthful is always best. It hurts more if you don't say anything and she assumes you like her back.

Just leave. It would be more messed up if you keep talking to her like you actually want something with her when you don't.
