    how to nicely tell this girl that I dont want to be her friend
    im male btw

    Shes nice, fun and just great to be around but I have a crush on her. She is alot out of my league and from what I have heard about her past bfs, im not her type. two things could happen if we get closer, i could lose my crush or it could get worse and I cant risk that.

    I have done the whole friend to the girl I like before and its no fun.

    how can I distance myself?
    what would say if she says anything?

    Oh right. I get it.

    It's not a good solution though

    Don't do it immediately, slowly back off, so it feels like it's normal

    This is such an odd thread. Strong over analysing live.

    Girls don't always go out with their "type", you have to at least give her a chance before you walk away. If you tell her how you feel and she rejects you, you lose just as much as you would if you just walked away from her, except you would be in with the chance of her saying she feels the same, and then you could have an awesome time with her. Go on, give it a try

    Well, if the choice is be friends or get together maybe you should try getting together with her? Then if she rejects you, you have an even better reason to stop being friends with her!!!

    (I know things aren't this simple, but if she doesn't reject you: SCORE!!!)

    I opened this thread thinking you wanted to tell some girl you didn't like her.


    Had lined up all sorts of humorous responses before reading the actual post

    Re: how to nicely tell this girl that I dont want to be her friend
    i wonder how guys decide they are way outta the gal's league
    well boi you need to understand if you are good friends with her
    its neva gonna be easy to just cut off,so go ahead and discuss wha u feel fo her
    dont assume her feelings before asking her out.There are chances she might like you too
    if things dont work out that way,it will be awkward neway between yall
    start distancing yourself thn. Its better thn just cutting a friend off
    I am sure evn you wont like it ,if she does that to you .
    treat others as you want to be treated.
    cheers mate

    Why aren't things this simple? OP likes her and doesnt want to be friends...
    Three options: friend zone, get together, break everything off
    If he gets rejected, then he has his reason to break it off like he asked for. If he gets in, he scored nonetheless...

    So the options are now just two:ask her out or not...

    Only possible difficult thing is how to go about doing it surely?

    Yeah, her past boyfriends have asked her out, while you're thinking of a way to not be friends with her so you can mask your insecurities. She's not out of your 'league', infact you're not even in a league sunshine, you are the equivilant of a sunday league or 5 a side in the park.

    TL/DR: Just ask her out ffs.

    Some boy started ignoring me because he liked me and I guess it got too much as it had been going on for years. He thought he wasn't 'good enough' for me. But he was pretty much my best friend and I would've at least given it a try. I wouldn't have initiated anything but if he had I would've at least given him a chance. He wasn't like any other guys I had had relationships with but that doesn't mean I'd just reject him! Don't just back away assuming nothing could ever happen.

    I feel ya. Just forget about it and enjoy the moment when you are with her, not over-thinking it. She may show signs she likes you.

    If you start acting weird or blanking her you could throw away your chance completely and look weird in the process. You don't want that. It'll suck even more.

    Just see what happens man
