Question - (26 May 2013) 2 Answers - (Newest, 29 May 2013)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Hello everyone,

My situation I am in a bit of a pickle. I went on a nice date with this guy and a movie, but I don't want to date.

This guy I met in my town just started talking to me and having conversation with me. And we chatted, and he asked for my number, and I happily obliged and gave it to him.

We eventually set a date to go out to eat and see a movie afterwards, and it was awesome. We talked and made jokes, and enjoyed the evening.

After the movie, we drove back to my car, and we hugged and he leaned into kiss me and I kissed him back. I honestly feel bad for doing it, because the thing is, he is a good guy but he is not for me, and I just got out of dating this guy I started liking and I haven't completely moved on.

Five minutes after dropping me off at my car he sent me this text message:

"Mmmmmm good kisser too! Bonus... =)"

I really don't know how to tell him or what to say, because I still want us to be friends. I don't want to be cruel about it, I haven't ever been in a situation like this.

What do I do...?

This isn't easy especially as he seems to like you. But you have to be honest with him. As for remaining or becoming friends....that'll be down to how reacts to when you tell him that romantically, there's nothing there. I'd advise against keeping him as a friend though because he may wrongly assume that you DO like him or hope he can change your mind about dating him eventually. It'll be more trouble than it's worth honestly. What happens when you do meet a guy you like? Will he be ok with it?

banditsmom1124 agony aunti've always found the direct honest approach to be best...tell him you had a good time but youre not interested in him that way. depending on how he takes it will help you decide if a friendship is possible. alot of times guys cant handle being just friends but some can.
