The thing is here, it is him that is in love with you and you just see him as a friend?
It always hurts to be rejected, but it's best you did before you accidently led him on and made him feel even more hurt. I would tell him exactly how you feel in black in white so nobody gets confused then say you still want to be good friends, but after saying that i'd give him some space and see if he comes back to you. It may take a while for him to, and even if he doesn't, sometimes things happen and they can't be fixed :/ but i would just give him some space and tell him where you are if he needs you, but you both need to know where you stand properly before mending things, otherwise you could go down the friends with benefits road, which is a death sentence for your friendship, because one person will always like the other more. I hope I helped :) x
they are trying to get someone jealous or the friend asked them out and they didn't wanna hurt that friend's feelings (basicaly they thought of their bf/gf as a friend still)
Absolutely not. If your friend came to you and asked you that question, answer honestly. You could lose that friend for lying to her.
I am elated you asked this question. Do have feelings for this friend? Tell them if you do or not. and if you have feelings for them you should probably date this friend. I went through the same thing but my friend didn't have those feelings for me so i just forgot it but we still are great friends!
are she and her boyfriend having troubles? maybe she's liked you before she got the boyfriend, and feelings are still there. ask her. if she's interested in you, she will tell you.
It means he likes you and wants to get closer to you or he is just someone who needs a friend. Which can also result in a relationship
Since your female friend asked you if you like her more than a best friend it is probably because she has more romantic feelings towards you. It is not that uncommon for two people of the opposite sex who start out as friends to end up lovers.
well if you're not into him, tell him that you like him a lot as a friend, and that you love him as a friend and you want to spend time together and that you're sorry you don't have those feelings for him, be nice about it and try not make him feel bad about his feelings.
No matter what the relationship is between your crush and your best friend, you should NOT go out with that person. There's always the potential for jealousy from your "friend" and it could ruin you alls relationship. There are plenty of fish in the sea.
you'll have to wait until the relationship stops. i mean you can't ask her out because it's your best friend.
He may be embarrased, it wasn't true, or he isn't ready for a relationship.
This largely depends on the relationship you have already established with the girl and the question she asked. It could be a variety of answers, including she likes you and wants to be in a relationship with you, or you are a trusted friend and she needs relationship advice.
You told him you need a break. A statement does not require an answer. If you would have asked him for his feelings or opinion, an answer would be necessary.
