This guy really likes me and he asked me out. I said yes, because I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. I do not like him the way he likes me and I just want to be friends. My friends always get us to hug and kiss, but it just doesn’t feel right to me. I still want to be friends but I don’t want to hurt his feelings, what should I do?

Dear Courney,

First thing you have to do, is tell your friends to “lay off” because you don’t want them to annoy you with things you don’t want to do.
Second thing is to let this guy in on your feelings nice and easy … it is better that he knows from you rather than having an unpleasant surprise.
