Have you ever forced yourself to like somebody??

[miss soul fire]

And if you did, did it ever work?

I went out with this guy last Friday and we had fun talking to each other and he seems like a great guy, plus he lives practically in front of my house...so anyway, I really liked him, but I didn't feel attracted to him at all. I'm still attracted to the last guy I used to go out with, but it's not just because of that. I just don't feel attracted to the guy, so what should I do? I mean, he keeps sending me messages asking me out again and I don't know what to say, I send him delayed messages telling him that it was good going out with him, but I really don't know what to say. I would like to go out with him but only as friends. I don't have the guts to tell him that, I'm such a coward. Any relationship that I had with any other guy I didn't feel attracted to I used to disappear like nothing has happened. I mean, it wasn't even a relationship yet...but now it's weird because this guy lives really close to me and it would be very unpolite to diss him or anything like that and I wouldn't do that in the first place. I really don't feel like kissing him either.

What should I do?? I don't think I can't tell him that I wanna be just friends with him like I said before. I'm such a chicken that I think I would even start to date him and one day I would eventually move out and disappear. Hahaha. But that would hurt both of us. I know it. It lacks me guts.:(

go out with him once more, and ifur still feeling like this after the 2nd date tell him you jst wanna be friends, he might not like it, but im sure he'd rather that then u pretend to like him.

[ScarySquirrel]

Yeah, I agree. From a dude's perspective, it would suck to hear something like that... but I'd rather know that instead of going on wasting my time and energy trying to build something that will never exist.

i would help you if i had any life experience

[Freebasser]

I hate the whole "I like you" act that women put on that blows up in my face months down the line.

Yeah, he may hate you at first, but he'll probably get over it, whereas if you lead him on forever he'll get it into his head that he actually does have a chance with you.

Just tell him you want to be friends:)

[roosta]

yeah, sort it out in your head as soon as possible and tell him straight away.

It's not nice to string people along.

[fucktopgirl]

I'd buy a PS2 cheap and forget about him.

yeah on one occasion in particular. Of course, just like cats and dogs, jocks and skateboarders just can't get along in high school. We were like rivals.

One day after graduation I was at a party and one of the jocks that I hated for no apparent reason besides the fact that he was a jock was there. Of course he hated me because I was a skater. We've had a few run-ins with each other previously.

Well, at the party, I decided to put things in the past. I gave him a beer and we chatted and hung out all night.

As the night progressed, I told him he's actually a cool cat and we I was sorry for being negligent and he said the feeling's mutual.

We are very close and keep in touch often and this is a time where I decided to force myself to like someone and the outcome has created a nice life long friendship.
