So, I been talking to a guy and he's a sweet heart don't get me wrong. The more we talked, the more I realized i'd like him better as a friend. He really likes me and I wanted to know a way I could let him down easily without hurting his feelings. I look up to him more of a brother type figure and I can't see us dating. I thought I liked him because of how long we known each other but, I just couldn't get into the dating faze with him. I care too much about him and would hate for our friendship to end

Maybe consider keeping a bit of a distance between the two of you. I'm not suggesting completely ghosting them, but limit how much you guys talk or hang out to at least re-establish boundaries (what you're comfortable with). It'll take some time, and he may still try to advance if you really have a hunch that he's into you. If he asks you out, politely tell him that you don't feel the same way and, again, limit the conversation a little till things hopefully go back to normal. It's definitely a dicey situation so proceed with caution but also don't try to read into things too much or you'll try predicting their every move and your friendship will seem more artificial because you'll be trying too hard to assume what they're thinking.
ReplyOur encounters are so weird sometimes, Like one minute he's acting like he wants to be with me and other times it's like he acts like an over-protective brother when other guys hit on me whenever we're hanging out at the mall or somewhere. He would say things like oh he's no good for you. that guy wouldn't be able to treat you like I treat you. He can be very confusing but i'm very much adamant how I feel towards him. It's almost as if he tries too hard to make us happen.
ReplyIn my opinion, it is unhealthy for him to impose himself with what he thinks is best for you, especially if he is comparing things to himself and how he would handle things. This might emphasize a need for space to re-establish boundaries. Consider hanging out or making plans with him less. I know this will involve white lies, and this may or may not work in the long run with keeping the friendship if he takes it the wrong way, but I believe it'd be healthier for both of you to establish distance. It might give him space to meet someone else too rather than be fixated on you.
