Just so everyone knows, I'm 40 and recently single (divorced less than a year) so i can make my own decisions.I met my friends dad recently in a not so nice circumstance. His daughter, a close friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. She and i treat each other like family. I've been to her house several times for moral support.Her dad has been divorced for a while. He's admitted that he didn't think that her daughter is going to outlive him. As a friend should, i've tried to get the family to talk about the situation and re-assure everyone that its going to be fine. Fast forward a few weeks. Her dad says he loves me... and not in a daughter kind of way... Can people please give me suggestions on how to let this wonderful know that i'm not interested? I'm not in a position to take on a man in my life as i'm still processing my feelings and putting my life back together. I'd normally consider an older guy, and even go out on dates, but he's my friends dad. how do i say i'm not interested without hurting him? I have a feeling he's feeling lonely and worried about his daughter... Help is much appreciatedthanks
